Reasons To Order NY Style Pizza Delivery

Online ordering with pickup or delivery is a huge convenience for time-strapped consumers. Moreover, NY style pizza delivery is popular for the following reasons:

1. Online/app ordering is super easy

Modern technology makes the ordering experience frictionless and easy. Restaurant apps have real-time tracking, secure payment systems, and delivery predictions.

2. No preparation and no cleanup

Working parents have very little time left in the day for food shopping, preparation, and cleanup. Ordering out frees up precious time for families to spend more time together.

3. Pizza is a popular food

Many Americans eat pizza several times a month, proving it’s a favorite dinner choice.

4. It’s an affordable meal

Compared to other takeout options, pizza pie is very affordable. For example, depending on appetites, either a 15- or 17-inch pizza would satisfy a family of 4. At Mario’s, our 15-inch pizza starts at $14.95 while our 17-inch begins at $17.80.

How Does NY Style Compare To Other Pizzas?

Italian restaurants across the country make pizza pie with different crusts, sauces, toppings, and cooking methods:

• NY style is a thin crust pie with tomato sauce and low-moisture mozzarella, baked in a gas oven.
• Neapolitan has a thin crust, crushed San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and basil, baked in a wood-fired oven.
• Chicago deep dish is a thick crust pie with chunky tomato sauce placed on top of the cheese and toppings.
• Sicilian has a thick, focaccia-like crust baked in a well-oiled square pan to achieve a crispy bottom. The sauce consists of San Marzano tomatoes topped with low-moisture mozzarella.
• St Louis uses a yeast-free, thin, crispy cracker-like crust and a special cheese, Provel®. This is a unique blend of white cheddar, Swiss, and provolone cheeses.
• Detroit is similar to Sicilian with its thick crust. Unlike Sicilian, this crust has a crisp and golden bottom. The preferred cheese, Wisconsin brick, has a sweet, mild, earthy flavor. The marinara sauce is also on top, either in dollops or stripes.

Why NY Style Pizza Reigns Supreme

With so many different kinds of pizza, why do most people prefer NY style? Preferences can be hard to pinpoint, but many diners cite these reasons:

1. Foldable slices

One of NY style pizza’s unique characteristics is the ability to fold the slices without the crust cracking. This enables you to ditch the utensils and eat it on the go with one hand.

2. Crispy bottom

Another unique quality is the thin crust. It’s crispy on the outside with a chewy interior.

3. Perfect ratio of ingredients

NY style nicely balances the percentages of dough, sauce, and cheese.

4. Fresh, high-quality ingredients

Using fresh, premium ingredients creates a delightful, flavorful pizza.

Not All Pizzerias Create The Best Pizza

While many pizzerias may make NY style pizza, it doesn’t always taste the same from one restaurant to another. Yet, all typically use the same ingredients: flour, water, salt, sugar, yeast, and olive oil. Ultimately, 5 processes greatly affect the outcome of the crust:

1. Hydration

The amount of water used in the dough affects the flavor and texture of the crust. Low hydration results in a crispier crust while higher water content develops a lighter, airier crust.

2. Kneading

This process is critical to form gluten, an elastic substance necessary to establish the pizza crust’s structure. Both over- and under-kneading can negatively affect your finished product.

3. Fermenting

Due to the few ingredients, pizza dough must ferment to develop its complex flavors. The crust’s signature taste results from chemical processes that occur with a few days in the refrigerator.

4. Stretching

You can roll it, stretch it, or hand-toss it. Each method affects the texture of the pizza crust. To create NY style crust, chefs hand-toss the dough.

5. Baking

The crispy crust of NY style pizza requires high temperatures to cook the pie quickly and evenly.
