What to order

  • Neapolitan — Soft, fast-baked at around 900°F, eaten with a knife and fork, centre deliberately wet. Margherita is the test — nothing to hide behind.
  • New York — Large, thin, foldable, sold by the slice. Judge it by the fold: it should bend without cracking and hold without flopping.
  • Detroit — Rectangular, thick, baked in a steel pan with cheese to the edges so it caramelises into a crust against the wall of the pan. That edge is the entire point.
  • Tavern / Chicago thin — Cracker-thin, cut into squares, a Midwestern tradition largely unknown elsewhere and excellent.

How to spot a good one

  • The crust edge tells you the oven — Leoparding — irregular dark blisters on the rim — means a very hot oven and a properly fermented dough, and it is the signature of good Neapolitan. An even golden-brown rim means a cooler deck oven, which is what New York style wants. Uniform pale crust with no colour variation usually means a conveyor oven.
  • Dough that was fermented, not just mixed — Long-fermented dough tastes of something on its own and has an open, irregular crumb when you tear the rim. Dough made that morning tastes of flour and is uniformly dense. Places that mention 48- or 72-hour dough are telling you something real.
  • Restraint with the toppings — Overloading is the most common failure, because moisture from too many toppings steams the base. Good pizzerias put three things on a pie, not nine.
