New Yorker here - If you have one piece of pizza it’s called “a slice”. If you order a whole pizza it’s a “pizza pie” or just “a pie”. When you’re eating a slice the fold is a MUST! (I also sprinkle garlic powder and red pepper flakes on my slice 🍕

@BTinSF 5 месяцев назад

No garlic powder! Out here in California where they grow garlic, you can buy very good finely minced garlic in olive oil in stores and you put THAT along with red pepper (preferably red Calabrian pepper) on the slice.

@tenjed4224 5 месяцев назад

True dat.

@PriscillaV1964 5 месяцев назад

If you.need to add Garlic Powder, . . . You need to find a new Pizzeria. While Red Pepper Flakes are a legit option, the rest just tells me that the sauce is inadequate. This is normal for a chain restaurant, but not a good sign for a privately owned place.

@LavDax 5 месяцев назад

@@PriscillaV1964 It’s just an automatic “go to” for me. Even if it’s already covered in yummy fresh minced garlic 🧄 I will STILL add garlic powder - just a personal preference 💕

@BTinSF 5 месяцев назад

@@PriscillaV1964 That's not true. Some people just really love garlic and they want a strong flavor of that. Many pizzeria's offer fresh garlic as an optional topping but you can just add it yourself at home if you are taking out the pizza. I like it mainly with vegetarian toppings like green pepper, black olives and it would be good with those cherry peppers. Sausages like pepperoni or Italian sausages usually don't need it.

@@mattb7578 You're familiar with "Sunday gravy" I'm sure which is "sauce" but called "gravy" though of a specific type. For those nowhere near New York and who've never watched The Sopranos, it's a tomato-based ragu long-simmered with a variety of meats like meatballs, pork ribs, bacciole--rolled flank or skirt steak--and so on. The gravy/sauce is served on pasta and the meat is eaten as a main course.

Chicago style pizza you have to eat fork and knife. You just can't pick it up.

Well everyone I know folds their pizza slices. I'm about 90 miles north of NYC in the Catskills Mountains so we are still within the Pizza Belt and follow city traditions. One of the things that makes NY pizza so damned good is the crust. And part of what makes the crust so good is the water, which has a mineral content that increases the flavor greatness. And where does that water come from? The very Catskills where I live. Needless to say, we have some kick ass NY style pizza in my area too. Oh, and interesting side note, the Catskills water is also why NYC bagels and baked goods are so damned good. Those natural dissolved minerals make a world of difference.

Your local 'Murican here. the term "pie" doesn't just relate to foods, like your fruit pies, pizza pies or pastries filled with meat pies. The term "pie" can also describe a shape, specifically a round or circular shape like a pie chart, or a pie pan. So a pizza pie is just a circular whole pizza, a slice of pizza is just a pizza but if you want a whole pizza, you get a pie.

From the outside it looks nothing like a church but as soon as you walk in you realize that the reason is because over the years the surrounding buildings were built around the former church to the point that you can no longer see the original structure. When you walk in you can find that instead of benches there are pews and all the beautiful stain glass windows are all still intact.

As a native New Yorker IMO NYC is the pizza capital of the world. When I lived in California the pizza there was inedible. You don't put anything on pizza except pepperoni, hot pepper flakes, garlic powder, and salt. Cold beer is the perfect match for pizza. I also like pizza made in wood burning ovens which make it smokey. I think pizza ovens are 800 degrees F. NYC pizza has spread to the suburbs. I live about 50 miles from NYC and can get it here without any problems. The square ones with thick crust is called Sicilian pizza. The round ones with the thin crust is called Neapolitan pizza which is the default style and you always fold it. The only challenger is Chicago. Their style is called deep dish pizza. Pizza pie is sometimes just referred to as pie. We know what that means when someone says they could go for some pie.

West coaster here. Made a trip to NYC in '84 on business. Had a slice of Ray's Pizza (in Greenwich Village if I remember). Went back the next day for more. Best pizza I ever had and yes, I'm a folder.

Yes, fold the pizza slice unless you’re a baby then mom and dad cut it up with a fork and you pick it up with your little fingers

Yes we fold the pizza slice. When I went to Italy they served the pizza not sliced and with a fork & knife. I was confused.

@The_Crucible714 5 месяцев назад

@@sherryford667 Regional pizza in Italy is very different from city to city. The pieces are smaller and (often) have very little sauce, sort of like a big cracker with cheese to eat as a snack on the go. I dunno about that egg, sounds very sus.

@@The_Crucible714 I have found that egg as an option in London and Paris pizzerias also. I have also eaten pizzas with a knife and fork there, as pizzas have been served as individual portions.

I’m not a New Yorker but I always fold my pizza! It makes it way less messy and if you’re eating it from a pizza stand in New York, then folding is a must!

@Tig. 5 месяцев назад

traditional NY style pizza is super thin and usually greasy so they flop over. you fold it to give it rigidity and get more of a bite at the same time. the fold is mostly to keep it in a shape you can eat. instead of it looking like a floppy member

I haven't been to NY- yet. But I have 2 senior friends who grew up in NY. One is Italian descendent and the other married into an Italian family. And they lived in a few other states and would say: "NY Pizza? Fuh gettuh 'bout et!!" (To paraphrase).

@emjay221 5 месяцев назад

As for the pie question, we have regular pie like apple pie, cherry pie, pumpkin pie, whatever. Pizza still gets called pie, but I think it's because of how they slice it. You'll mostly hear Pizza called a pie up in new york, for people that have lived in New york. I'm Italian, from Brooklyn, and now live in South Florida.

If you want good pizza go to Chicago but get the thin crust. The deep dish pizzas are for special occasions and tourists and not what most people in the area eat on a regular basis.

@davidtriplett7313 5 месяцев назад

Depending on where you are in the US, the size of the pizza slice, and the amount of toppings folding a pizza is the way to go. A traditional New York style pizza is always going to be a big pizza slice that you have to fold. The majority of pizzas outside of New York, especially the major pizza chains, do not do a New York style cut so it is more difficult to fold. Also most pizzas outside of New York have a thicker crust. You can ask for a Brooklyn style or New York style and they may try to do a thinner crust and cut it so you have bigger slices.

@jenelle11234 4 месяца назад

As a New Yorker, you got a fold your pizza. And Italian people eat pizza with a fork and knife because they get served the whole pizza and then they eat it with their fork and knife. That’s where it comes from I think. Also, if you go to New York to eat pizza since there’s so many pizza places to eat at I think you should go to at least like three or four different places depending on how long you’re there. You have to go to like one local small pizzeria that’s not really famous and then you have to go find like a nice famous one that everyone recommends to get like that special little extra New York flare , but if you want like true, honest New York pizza you just go for like a regular slice. And there are many pizza shops in New York that you’ll easily find something.

@Amomferatus 5 месяцев назад

Folding the slices is due to how large they are and some crusts can be flimsy and the fold keeps it straight.

@robin-76 5 месяцев назад

You have to fold the slice, or it may flop down due to the weight of the cheese and toppings and up in your crotch. It's just a matter of physics. NYC-style/grandma/thin pizzas are always the best

I’m from Cleveland originally. But I now live in NC. You can definitely find NY style pizza here. I’ve found a bunch of great northern restaurants here. I’ve even gotten my wings overnighted from buffalo. So many northern folks are moving to the south. I even have a NY fish place here in Charlotte. You just have to ask folks. Find a northern football club and they are likely transplants from the northern area.

People in the US do commonly fold thin pizza. I would imagine it is required in New York. Try it sometime. It keeps the hot molten toppings from burning the roof of your mouth (at least for a little while) & it is more convenient to eat on the go. NY pizza is very good. I like true Neapolitan pizza & a few others. It is hard to beat NY pizza though. Wood fired is important to me.
