Yesterday, I made this 20-inch NY-style pizza in my Ooni Koda 2 Max. Threw on some Stanislaus 7/11 sauce seasoned with salt, sugar, and oregano, plus Locatelli Pecorino Romano and a solid pile of Grande whole milk mozzarella. After baking, I hit it with oregano, fresh ground black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes because, you know, flavor.
The dough was All Trumps (green bag) at 57% hydration and cold-proofed for 48 hours. Used about 13 oz of mozz and 9 oz of sauce. The dough recipe is at the end of the album
Launched at around 650°F, killed the burners, and after about 45 seconds, gave it a quick turn to get the front into the hotter back section for some extra oven spring. At the 5-minute mark, I fired the left burner back up to medium and used a turning peel to rotate the thing until it was browned on top. Should’ve cranked the heat a little earlier because the bottom got darker than I wanted. Pulled it at 8 minutes when I was aiming for 7. Whoops.
Overall, the pizza slapped, just a little too dark underneath. Definitely no room for a reheat on this one, lol. But man, all the time and effort I’ve put into this is finally paying off. Whether it’s a home oven or an outdoor pizza oven, I’m finally making the kind of old-school NY pizza I’ve been chasing. Best part? This 20-inch beast cost me $4.29 in ingredients. I literally can’t afford NOT to make pizza. Hell yeah.

In my opinion you absolutely nailed this! I love the sauce to cheese ratio and all your choice of ingredients. The quintessential NY slice 😊. Is the green All Trumps the non bromated one? My bag is red and that’s the only option I have at my Restaurant Depot.

Perfect – did you refrigerate dough overnight?

This is the caliber of pizza I have been striving for for years but always fall way short. Looks great!

That is a solid NY slice!

Looks perfect, great job

This straight up looks like it’s out of a NY slice joint in an alley. Even with the paper plate and all. Amazing

Good job!!! That looks like it came from a pizza shop.

Looks great! Thanks for the recipe, are the amounts in grams?

This looks epic. I’ve done really well w/ my Neapolitan recipe but am still having trouble with the NY version. As I’m living in the UK I can’t get Trumps or King Arthur. But congrats on this pie, looks great!

Next to Neopolitan, nothing compares to a beautiful NY slice! Yours is perfection! I want it.

The pies always look unreal. You’re the reason I’m going to be almost $2K CAD poorer as I’m planning on buying the Koda 2 😬. I’m also an enthusiast and make a ton of pizza/try to optimize. My oven can currently do up 17″ so that’s what I’ve been making. Curious, what’s your thought on the weight of the ball for NY style at that size? I’ve experimented with everything from 420g to 700g (to go super heavy on toppings).
PlausibleTable
You know how good this is. You don’t need my upvotes and praise, but I’ll give it anyway. This looks perfect and I’ll gladly pay you a couple of bucks for a slice.

Even went with the paper plate. Bravo

How the hell did you get the bottom so dark?!

I converted the dough recipe into standard baking measurements.
Yields: Two 14-inch pizza dough balls (~1.4 kg total)
Ingredients:
• Bread Flour (All Trumps or any high-protein flour) → 7 cups (loosely packed, spooned & leveled)
• Water (warm, ~95°F) → 2 cups + 2 tbsp
• Instant Dry Yeast → ¾ tsp
• Fine Sea Salt → 4 tsp
• Sugar → 2¼ tsp
Thanks for letting us know how you did this. The New York style is my favorite pizza so I’m looking forward to trying this out. I usually include a little bit of olive oil in my recipe.

it’s funny, but a bottle of coca cola sitting next to any food automatically makes it look so much more tasty.
(the pizza also looked great on it’s own 🙂 )
HeyCarpy
One bite, everyone knows the rules
(3 bites later)
I love it, fantastic, perfect New York slice, everybody should come to this place. I give it a 7.8

This would be the best pizza restaurant in town in what, 90% of American towns???

I don’t comment here often (other that to push people to shred their own cheese), but I had to drop in and say **GODDAMN THAT’S GORGEOUS**! Excellent work, OP.

Ugh, this looks so good. Reminds me of my favorite pizza place when I lived back in NJ. It makes me so sad that that place has closed now (lady running it retired).
