The fold
New York
A wedge you can walk with
Gas decks, low-moisture mozzarella, a slice that folds without snapping. New York pizza is a technology as much as a recipe: bake all day, cut a triangle, eat it on the sidewalk.
The crust is drier than Naples, the cheese browns, the pepperoni cups. Austin, Berlin, and a thousand windows copied the fold. If you need a plate and a fork, you are in a different country.
