New York pepperoni slice

United States · North America

Short description: This counter-service pizza style is known for a thin, flexible slice with browned cheese and crisp-edged pepperoni.
Ingredients: Thin pizza dough with tomato sauce, low-moisture mozzarella, pepperoni, olive oil, and oregano.
Cultural note: The slice format matters: it is designed for speed, portability, and eating by hand from a paper plate or wrapper.
Common misconception: The defining trait is not only the topping; the thin, foldable crust and slice-shop format are just as important.
