I wouldn't exactly call this NY Pizza...being a native myself. Sorry it's just not the real thing. So much so that I probably won't make it again. I'll keep looking for another recipe.
New York-style Pizza? Not even close. I'm a New Yorker and can say positively this is not how you make a New York-style pie and is not what you will get from a NY pizza street vendor or from an elite NY pizza restaurant. I tried this recipe many moons ago but finally learned how its done. Several of us on Pizzamaking.com have documented the recipe for making authentic NY-style pizza.
This is a pretty good pizza. I did a few things different. I heated the tomato sauce on the burner with the basil oregano and added minced garlic. I let the dough rise 2 times and I encountered a problem as I used waxed paper instead of parchment and it was quite a task to transfer it to my stone (I sprinkled corn meal on the hot stone). I also added cooked italian sausage mushrooms grn pepper and pepperoni and used only about 8 - 10 oz of the cheese. The cooking time 15 mins worked pretty well despite my additions and the stone gave a nice crunchy crust. I'll definitely try it again and will buy some parchment as it could have been a disaster without hubby's help during the transfer!
I live in Tx now but I am orginally from CT. Everytime I eat this pizza it makes me think of pizza from home. Taste better than alot of the TX pizzas. I make my husband fix this for me all the time now. No frozen pizza or delivery anymore.
As a native New Yorker/pizza expert this is far from what you'd get in a pizzeria but it is tasty. I probably won't make again since the real thing is a walk up the block for me but I have tasted pizza hut/papa john's etc. and this is definitely better than their "pizza". I added extra garlic while it was baking! man i love pizza...:D
Yum! deserves 10 stars! best pizza ive ever had! both my dad and brother want it made 4 their birthdays. added 1 large clove of garlic to the sauce but i love garlic anyway. VERY GOOD!
It is very flavorful. Fix one of these and your not going to want Papa Johns anymore.
This is an awesomely easy recipe that is very rewarding. I am extremely satisfied with the crust and everything. An all around success.
Fantastic! Far better than take out and even better than our best pizza restaurant! Fresh taste and great crust! Super simple and fun to knead the dough. I use fresh oregano and basil and low salt tomato sauce as the cheese is salty enough for us. I make a double batch of crust and usually do some toppings on one of them for variety but this version is the favorite. My family will not go out for pizza again.
