Although it may seem strange that a mid-sized city in Pennsylvania loves New York City-style pizza, there is not much to unpack. New York City-style pizza is an east coast favorite and Pennsylvania is simply no exception to that fairly unbreakable rule. Plus, New York City-style pizza is delicious.

New York City-style pizza is made especially so that all the components of the pizza can do their jobs perfectly. The dough is rolled out super thin so that when it is cooked, it crisps up nice and quick. However, the key is to not overcook the dough. No one wants their pizza on a cracker or a charcoal briquette.

The second aspects are the sauce, cheese, and toppings. The sauce has to be rich in flavor, yet not too chunky and heavy otherwise the thin crust would sag, break, or become soggy under the juice and weight of the sauce. The cheese is always spread until about an inch from the crust itself and melted until gooey and golden brown across the top.
