About Ny style pizza
New York-style pizza is a thin-crust pizza that originated in the early 20th century in New York City, inspired by Italian immigrants' traditional recipes. Known for its large, foldable slices, it typically features a pliable yet crisp crust, tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and various toppings such as vegetables, meats, or herbs. Nutritionally, a standard slice provides around 250-400 calories, depending on toppings and size. It is a source of carbohydrates from the crust, along with protein and calcium from cheese. However, it often contains a moderate to high amount of sodium and fat due to processed ingredients and meats used as toppings.
Health Benefits
- Provides calcium and protein from mozzarella cheese, which are essential for bone health and muscle repair.
- Contains lycopene from tomato-based sauces, a powerful antioxidant that supports heart health.
- Delivers instant energy through carbohydrates in the crust, which are the body's primary fuel source for activities.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven or on a skillet to restore its crispness.
