How To Make Homemade New York Pizza

Today we're making authentic New York pizza (the pizza you'll find all around the NYC metro) in an old home oven. Using a pizza steel is a game changer! First I'll show you how to clean and season a cheap piece of 1/4" steel. Then we'll make New York cold fermented dough balls, and finally, cook pizzas on our steel in 6 minutes! This is episode 1 of the NY pizza series.

I think pizza-making videos are better for instruction than print recipes. But, I've had many of you message me regarding why the pizza recipes aren't on my site. It's finally posted and it's very long and hopefully comprehensive. Over the coming weeks, I'll post at least 5 more like the Grandma and Sicilian. The link is in the description for the recipe and the other gear you might need for making it.

This is very true. Funny story, though. I live in western Missouri, about an hour south of Kansas City. He says the recipe is done with King Arthur flour because the more common bread flour in his area, All Trumps, might not be available outside that area. So I went to buy flour last week to get my pizza dough started. The local Walmart (only grocery store in town, unfortunately) had King Arthur bread flour but wanted $15 for a five-pound bag. So I went to our little Mennonite-run bulk-food store to see what they had. I figured it would be King Arthur, but cheaper because they buy in bulk and divide it out. But what they had was All Trumps! (And they charged about a third of what Walmart gets for King Arthur.) My first batch of dough is ready and I'm going to make pizza tonight.

I've been working on my home pizza for a while now and I use exactly the same techniques as shown here. The pizza steel makes a huge difference in cooking time - fast cooking time leads to great crust flavor. In my oven without the steel a pizza takes 12 minutes. With the steel it's 5 minutes. Excellent video.

[@comesahorseman]

I set up my dough, with toppings, in a carbon steel paella pan, preheat my everyday oven to 450-500, set the pan on a burner @ medium to give the bottom crust a head start; it then goes in the oven to finish the toppings. Works like a charm, in a pretty ordinary oven.

[@radzo1675]

I bought the same steel as you have Jim. Got it about 2 weeks ago. The cleaning and seasoning was a breeze, if I can do it anybody can do it. I followed Brian Lagerstrom's "Neapolitan-ish" pizza recipe/technique. The result was outstanding. If anyone is on the fence about upgrading from a stone I would highly recommend it. BTW we have an electric oven from the 70's. I couldn't be happier with the steel. Thanks so much for the vid, gonna do your recipe next.

[@stanleylafond4650]

I'm a DIY pizza maker. Your pizza looked delicious. I used to make my dough using the same method that you did. Recently, I have switched over to my food processor. It does an excellent job of a making a nice soft dough ball in a very short amound of time. It's best to used cold water so the dough ball doesn't get over heated. Yours is the first NY Pizza a video I've seen that doesn't recommend whole milk mozzarella. I don't think it get too wet as long as it is low moisture cheese.

Love watching relatable and passionate cooks, like you, who share in the experience and joy that food can give us

[@Dreyno]

I don’t know about New York pizza but for Neapolitan style, I use a preheated cast iron skillet. I make a base, throw a pinch of semolina on the pan and throw the base on and top it with the crushed tomatoes, mozzarella, basil and olive oil and then put it straight under a preheated broiler. The edges start to bubble while on the burner. The broiler cooks the tomatoes, melts the mozzarella and gives the crust perfect leopard spots. It’s cooks super quick (like a pizza should) and gives a proper crispy base. It’s worked every time so far.

[@eyeofbass]

I’ll have to try this method out. Thanks!

[@MrArtVein]

You're preheating the skillet on top of the stove and building the pizza on the burner before the broiler? Or are you building the pizza then placing on the burner?

[@Dreyno]

@@MrArtVein Preheating the skillet on the stove, throwing the base onto the hot skillet and adding the tomatoes, mozzarella and basil quickly and transferring to the broiler when the crust has bubbled up.

I've been making pizzas in my landlord special Hotpoint oven for a year or so now so I can confirm it should work in any oven. A couple tricks I've come up with is 1. Making sure the sauce is room temp. 2. Putting the grated cheese in the freezer 3. If you struggle to get a the crust crisp without over baking it (that cheese is too brown in the video for my taste) it try 61-62% hydration. *Slightly* less oil and more sugar can help too. Get that dough as thin as you can! And above all else, experiment with your sauce and cheese amounts it can make a big difference.

[@fluorophoremusic3679]

Nah G, the brownish black cheese is where it’s at… every Italian knows this.

Thank you very much!

[@Calicaveman]

I’m gonna say that this technique is time consuming but if you get the tools prepared a head of time and then a few days later make your dough the next round you make will workout. I spent time in New York and the Pies was the best I ever had, a lot of preparation but I’m sure it’s worth the time great presentation 👍🏾🙏🏾

[@cinemaocd1752]

My insane pizza method that works but only requires one peel is as follows: make first pizza on parchment over the top of the peel. Cook for 5 minutes then pull the parchment with tongs and let it go two more minutes to crisp up a bit. Use tongs to rotate pizza at same time. I start to assemble the second pizza on parchment on the peel while the first one is cooking. After 7 minutes total I pull the pizza out with tongs onto a plate to rest for a minute, then put the second pizza in. I use the peel as a cutting board and cut the first pizza and put it back on a plate. Then I pull the parchment on the second pizza, rotate it. I serve the second pizza on the peel and cut it after it's rested a few minutes. It's a lot of faff as my British husband would say, but we really only have space in the kitchen for one peel. I used to struggle mightily to get pizza to come off the peel (possibly because our peel is old and scratched up) but the parchment just makes it easier. Not authentic but I get a beautiful speckled crispy bottom so who cares? Also no corn meal or semolina flavor, which some folks like, but I'm not really a fan of it...

[@larrypresnall5360]

This is exactly what I do, after going thru about 100 lbs. of flour for trial and error. I found that I burned cornmeal when I tried that, so the parchment is a lifesaver!

The channel I never knew I needed. The husband will be happy. Thank you!

[@marmotsongs]

This is pretty much exactly what I’ve come up with to make pizza in a “crappy” oven, though I make sourdough dough. A couple of tips- Put the steel as close to the broiler element at the top as you can (and still have room to slide it off the peel). And heat the steel with the broiler. You can add some Diastatic malt powder to improve rise and browning. Work fast once the dough is on the peel for loading. The longer it sits there, the more it will stick. If the pizza is sticking to the peel when you jiggle it just before going into the oven this works- Lift up a little corner of the pizza to create a hole. Blow into the hole to lift the dough off the sticky part and get it in the oven.

[@SipandFeast]

Great tips!

[@willsvariety4712]

My broiler is down below (drawer style) and I am doing just fine @ 550f middle shelf. Heated for and hour and mine cook in about 8 minutes to my liking. I just bought the malt for bagel making! I might try it in a batch of pizza dough now! Thanks!

You are inspiring I love your videos and while I'm going to make my pizza tonight pretty much the way I always do I watched your video and am going to make some changes. I always bake my crust first and then put my toppings on to continue baking as it helps me get a crispy crust. I think getting the pizza steel will help. My pizza is always a work in progress. BTW I made the Creamy Garlic Mushroom pasta it was amazing. Keep up the good work.

[@KRich408]

The only thing is using the steel plate? I grew up in Elizabeth NJ I could see the world trade center from my house when it was still standing 😢 all the pizza shops I knew used a type of stone in a Gas oven. Even when I moved to the Lehigh Valley Pennsylvania I worked at a very popular Pizza shop in Bethlehem. They used the same types of ovens they were using Blodgett ovens. And Blodgett Oven Stones I use a square stone in my oven after heating it up for a couple hours.

[@Grayald]

Those ovens tend to run 100° hotter at the very lowest, then the maximum the typical home of in can achieve. So it doesn't really matter that they're using stone instead of steel. Steel helps home pizza cooks compensate for lower temperature because it holds and transfers the heat better than stone.

This looks so phenomenal!! My favorite has always been thin-crust pizza, and I rarely, if ever, eat any thick-crust pizza. It’s really nice seeing you do this with an entry-level (lol) oven. I have a question about the steel you’re using. My husband has a charcoal smoker/grill, and we were wanting to make our own ‘griddle’ to use on it. Would this thickness of steel work? Would we season it the same way? The reason for doing our own would be to get a custom size. Thanks

[@SipandFeast]

Thanks so much! I'm trying to make all the pizza for every taste lol. You can absolutely use this plate on the grill. Most of the already made grill plates are thinner than the 1/4" steel I used, so you would be completely set with it. You can season it exactly the same way or you could even use canola oil. Since I have two plates now, I'll probably dedicate one for outdoor use as well.

we used to say you 'bang out " the dough on the peel, then you 'throw ' the pie into the oven. but that was in new haven , ct. awesome video. thank you!!!

[@argonwheatbelly637]

An apizz. Yep, love them, too! I always get mine with mozzarella.

[@tobybaxter6133]

You are the best. Love all your videos. Your Grandma pizza recipe is fantastic. I can't wait to try your NY pizza.

[@sherrylynn4632]

New to your channel, absolutely loving it.. 👍😇

[@birchtree5794]

I grew up in Philadelphia area but moved away long ago; still miss the classics and you are helping me to be able to rediscover them. Thank you and love your accent / voice. :)

[@SipandFeast]

I'm glad the videos are bringing you back.

It's much easier to just buy a pizza steel online than to make your own. I started making my own dough years ago and I use a pizza stone or a cast iron skillet because both make great pizzas. I also have a huge round pizza pan and that would work too as long as you heat up whatever you cook on for about an hour on 500 or as high as your oven goes. The cast iron skillet is best for deep dish pizza or pan pizza. You can use a big round pizza pan, a pizza stone, or pizza steel for New York style pizza. Great video!

Your website, videos, and recipes are nothing less than perfection. Thank you for so generously sharing your expertise, my dough is in the fridge now and I can't wait for a taste of home, fingers crossed I didn't eff it up. 😊

[@jamescamarillo4727]

Great video! 👍🏼. Galbani low moisture whole milk mozzarella is my go to for making NY pizza. It’s probably the driest whole milk mozz I’ve found and can be easily found in any grocery store. Shreds nicely, and the shreds don’t stick together in clumps when you’re trying to spread over the pizza. Pro tip- Drop the shreds in the freezer till you’re ready to spread over the pie for a nice even melt in oven without worrying about cheese browning too much 👌🏼

Very practical, and right on about the flax oil polymerizing. Canola should work too.

[@tuknchuk]

Wow !!! I absolutely love your over-the-top dedication to the details and doing it right. It borders on obsessive and crazy…. But oh so appealing to so many of us that have zero interest in mediocrity. Thanks for being you and doing your thing and trusting that we’re out there… we’ll find you and that we actually care. BRAVO !!!

[@Newcoalition]

Yes thank you!! Have been wanting to try a NY pie for the LONGEST! I am definitely going to invest to do this regularly

[@Ecohen52784]

Love this recipe, I was having a problem using the whole milk Polly O mozzarella wet top but took your advice and used 50 percent part skim mozzarella with the whole milk mozzarella and the pizza came out perfect no wet top. Love you channel 🙏💕

[@joshuamoore24_7]

I used the dry corn bread batter as the bottom of the dough coating and it works great.

[@Ecohen52784]

You are an incredible teacher my friend, love your videos and recipes. Your family is also amazing. Thank you so much 🙏🥰💕

[@tmo-y5b]

Thank you. Nice video. One suggestion: according to Pizzaiolo, Vito Iacopelli, you can avoid burning the cheese by placing the pizza (with sauce on it) in the oven, cook it for a few minutes, take it out and then add the toppings. Slip it back in the oven and take it out when the cheese is bubbling.

[@paradigmshift7541]

slightly burned cheese is more flavor

[@r1dutch]

Used this dough recipe with Stanislaus Tomato Magic crushed tomatoes. You absolutely nailed it! I've been trying to make a worthwhile New York style pizza since leaving the state years ago. This is the first time where I feel like I pulled it off. Awesome recipe.

[@SipandFeast]

Glad you enjoyed it and great call on using Tomato Magic. When you open a can of that you just smell NY pizza!

[@cindyslevin3075]

Ok so I’ve tried every pizza dough…kenji lopez, Vito, food wishes, no knead pizza dough, Bon Appetit, etc. This is by far the best. This was awesome! It stretches so easily. Thank you. I only let it sit in the fridge for 24 hours.

[@carlbayard8729]

I've been making home pizza for over 40 years and still learning. You are the first pizzaiolo to mention wooden vs mental peal/peel not sure on the spelling. Thanks great video

[@bethbilous4720]

Hey thanks for telling us about this 7/11 sauce. It is the absolute BEST. We portioned the huge can out and froze it. Now just pull a bag out defrost and PIZZZZZZAAAAA

[@MrHarryhere69]

I make whole wheat dough, Love it. Also try this once. I use semolina instead of flour when forming the pizza. Gives the dough a nice extra crunch. Now for the fun part I place my dough on a expanded steel rack, build the pizza and throw it in the SMOKER at 425 for about 20 mins. My pizzas are 18 to 20 inches round.

[@emadleiman47]

Thank you so much for your video. Being from the 5 towns area then Oceanside, I miss the taste of real pizza. When living in Oceanside, my Sicilian step father purchased a luncheonette on Foxhurst Rd and converted it to a pizzeria. With your help from this video, I will hopefully be able to recreate what he did because we now live up in a Boston suburb and missing real pizza and other Italian and Sicilian foods. I lined our home oven with firebricks to be used for pizza calzones and look forward to trying your methods.

[@defmike617]

The best video I have seen thus far. Appreciate it. The ratio's are on point to North End of Boston recipes and appreciate it!

[@SipandFeast]

Thanks very much!

[@ronc4146]

I have that same oven. I think it is missing an overload resistor or max heat shutoff (whatever cuts it off from overheating). I too can get my oven and stone or steel up to just about 595 or so. Works great for that first oven spring and leapord spotting on the undercarriage, but it will burn and dry out fast if you don't keep an eye on it and either put it on a screen when the bottom gets close to done (to get it out of direct contact with the bottom steel), or do as you did and hit it with a bit of the broiler setting (best used with a top mounted heating element) to help the top "catch up" to the bottom. As you said, perhaps hitting it with the broiler setting was unnecessary, or maybe hitting it a minute earlier would have been perfecto.

[@X3RUBIM]

Positively refreshing among a sea of hipster cooking channels. Thank you very much and keep it up!

[@idabochner5409]

I think your pizza videos are phenomenal. I tried your grandma pizza and absolutely loved it. Next will be the NY style round pizza. Thank you so much for the great instructions and recipe. ❤️🍕

I love making pizza. Thank you for the helpful tips. I don't know if I am going to get the steel plate, but i have been using cast iron lately. And, the results have been pretty good

[@truthfinder6246]

*BEST INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO*. If YT doesn't have an award for this category, they should.

Excellent narration and instructions. Brooklyn pizza is the only thing I miss from ny
