How Many Of these Unique American Pizza Styles Have You Tried?

Neapolitan pizza

This is authentic Italian pizza... but Americanized somewhat. Dough is fermented nicely, and cheese is typically of an imported variety.

New Haven pizza

Often called "apizza," these pies are cooked on wax paper-lined sheet pans in oil or coal-fueled ovens that get extremely hot, giving the crust a nice char.

New York pizza

New York-style pizzas are usually cut into large slices that are folded in half for eating. Greasy, but never soggy, they're a NYC mainstay.
