The New York slice is a wide triangle of thin-crust pizza, foldable in one hand, sold by the count. It is the city's default lunch, snack and 2am closer in New York City since the 1950s.
The slice owes its shape to Gennaro Lombardi's coal-oven pies on Spring Street, sold by the wedge from 1905. Postwar pizzerias adopted gas ovens and a wider 18-inch pie that produced eight large slices, ideal for counter service and walk-in eating. Patsy's in East Harlem and Joe's on Carmine codified the form between the 1930s and the 1970s. By the 1980s a dollar slice circuit, anchored by 2 Bros, had set the floor price; the upper end, Lucali in Carroll Gardens and Una Pizza Napoletana on Orchard, came later. Today every borough still measures itself against the foldable plain cheese on a paper plate.
