The Ultimate Guide to Recreating Authentic New York Pizza at Home"

Master the Dough: Allow the dough to rise slowly in the fridge for 24–72 hours.

Perfect the Sauce: Use San Marzano tomatoes for an authentic, flavorful pizza sauce.

Invest in a Pizza Stone or Steel: These tools replicate a pizza oven’s high heat.

Preheat the Oven: Get your oven as hot as possible, around 500°F (260°C).

Shape the Dough by Hand: Stretch the dough with your hands for the perfect thin, crispy crust.

Use Whole-Milk Mozzarella: This cheese melts perfectly and offers authentic flavor.

Limit Toppings: Keep it simple—New York-style pizza features minimal toppings.

Add the Right Seasoning: Sprinkle dried oregano and a pinch of red pepper flakes for flavor.
