\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPizza in New York City is as common as street pigeons and as timeless as winter evenings in the city. As the nation\u2019s slice empire, the roots of the dish go back to the arrival of Italian immigrants in the early 20th century. Traditional NYC pizza was initially a simple creation with a well-made dough crust along with ample mozzarella and flavorful tomato sauce. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFast forward to the present, and pizza in New York City is a part of everyday life.

While crispy, circular pies made waves in the city\u2019s culinary scene, it did not last long under the immigrant housewives, who needed a simpler and less time-consuming way to prepare the best pizzas in NYC.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTheir solution? A quick dough stretched in a pan and coated with olive oil, then topped with a generous sprinkle of Pecorino or Parmesan and crushed tomatoes (yes, in that order). Baked in an electric or gas oven rather than a wood-burning one, grandma pizzas came out denser than normal pies and slightly foccacia-like, creating a completely new pizza texture that would become a popular alternative to a thin-base pie.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Today, grandma squares are on the menus of most pizza places in NYC<\/a> and are revered for their sense of nostalgia and home-cooked comfort food.
