Love a classic New York slice but don’t live anywhere near the Big Apple? Now you can cure your craving anywhere, anytime with our New York-style pizza recipe. A little sugar and extra-virgin olive oil help this pizza cook up crisp and chewy. When baked in an Ooni Volt, the base of your pie will rival any corner slice shop.
Unlike Neapolitan-style pizza, which is cooked in a wood-burning oven at around 850 to 950 °F (450 to 510 °C), most New York-style pizzas are cooked in a gas deck oven at about 500 °F (260 °C). That makes the Ooni Volt, with its highly flexible heat settings, an ideal choice for replicating this kind of pie. Our recipe yields a sturdy crust that won’t bend or dip in the middle. It’s topped with a simple tomato sauce and gooey cheese — must-haves for this regional favorite. After a 30-minute preheat (during which you can gather your toppings and prep your pizzas), these pies only require 5 minutes in the oven before they’re ready to enjoy.
