By New York pizza, I assume you mean New York City Pizza; it's one of the best pizzas around. If you like New York City pizza and need to describe why:
1.) Try describing what is good about the pizza. This means that a discussion about the crust, sauce, and type of cheese used is in order.
Cheese: usually, low moisture cheese, rather than fresh mozzarella, is used in New York Pizza. This prevents the pizza from becoming soggy.
Crust: New York pizza crust is unique in itself. The bottom two millimeters of the crust is crispy and holds up well even when you fold a slice between your fingers. The next layer, another three to four millimeters, is tender and chewy. The crust closest to the sauce is luxuriantly smooth without being doughy. The addition of a small amount of sugar and some oil lends the New York pizza a browner and crispier crust. The edge of the pizza or cornicione is also slightly raised. This is often the favorite part of many pizza aficionados. The New York pizza crust is different, of course, from the deep dish Chicago version. So, it really depends on which type of crust you like best.
Sauce: the characteristic New York pizza tomato sauce is both sweet and acidic, a unique combination.

2.) Discuss the difference between New York pizza and other foods. Pizza can be both a healthy and convenient option for busy and hungry people. Loading a pizza with healthy vegetables and meat can provide a well-balanced meal if one is pressed for time. You can compare pizza to other fast food options or even a home-cooked meal in terms of convenience and taste. In terms of nutritional content, however, you will be hard-pressed to recommend pizza. This is because the average New York Pizza contains more than 400 calories and may have more than 15 grams of fat per slice! However, it sure is fun to eat and may just be our unofficial national food.
