What’s the difference between New York and Neapolitan and New Haven style pizza?

  1. Neopolitan is not how pizza "originated". If you mean the modern pie that was invented by Italian Americans in New York. If you mean a dish called pizza, then you're looking for a sauceless flatbread dish with oil and meat as was traditional across the mediterranean. Tomato was a new world crop only initially adopted in Italy to suit the expectations and palettes of wealthy American tourists, it was widely inaccesible to the very poor native citizens of Italy.

  2. Never knew I needed a crash course on the differences but alas here we are! It was entertaining and I now feel more of a pizza connoisseur 😂👍

  3. New Haven is dry, burnt, and unappealing 🤢. I will always prefer NY or Sicilian to anything else🔥.

  4. napoli looks like a more real pizza while the others look like something you put som artifical cheese on and no topping

  5. I can't eat solid food rn bc of an ear infection swelling my face up, and my hunger maybe tripled looking at these pizzas

  6. What makes New Haven style a cross between Neopolitan and New York? The cook time seems to be in between but otherwise it seems like on a spectrum of fluffy with crust to thin and crispy, Neopolitan and New Haven would be the extremes with New York in the middle.

  7. My favorite is the NY style. 2nd would be New Haven but I wouldn't want the crust burnt, just a nice golden brown. I wouldn't like the neopliotan.

  8. You could also include pizza Romana. Thin and crisp, basically the antithesis of Neapolitan pizza.

    Your stuff is always spot on despite the naysayers in the comments. Italians eat pizza with a knife and fork all the time ❤

  9. Please don't tell people that Italians eat pizza with fork and knife because it's not true.
    im italian and i can tell you that some people eat It with work and knife but they are very few and it's not common.

  10. Wrong , wrong, wrong. Lots of ovens in NYC have coal fired ovens. Depending on the building and when they were built. Inaccurate

  11. I’m from NY and moved to CT. The New Haven pizza is awful. It’s this thin burnt, crunchy crap. Taste like a cheap, frozen pizza that’s been left in the oven too long.

    Absolutely miserable experience.
    And everybody here thinks it’s THE BEST!

  12. Some pizzerias are serving "thin-crust" pizza that is WAY, WAY, WAY too thin! You shouldn't be able to touch the cheese from a gaping hole on the other side–I"m not making this up! Decades ago, thin-crust was still about a quarter-inch crust, with TONS of cheese (look at a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cartoon slice of pizza–that's what a regular slice would look like). For some odd reason, I feel that burgers have improved over the decades, but pizza has gotten far worse.
