🍳 Cooking Flow
【Thin & Round Styles (NY, Neapolitan, New Haven, Roman)】Stretch or roll dough thin, add curated toppings (sauce, mozzarella, or white base), and bake directly on the hot oven deck between 290°C and 450°C depending on crust style. → 【Pan & Focaccia Styles (Detroit, Sicilian, Argentine Fugazza)】Proof dough in oiled metal pans, spread toppings to the edges (cheese crown for Detroit, onion-tomato breadcrumbs for Sicilian, sweated onions for Fugazza), and bake at 250°C-280°C. → 【Deep Dish & Folded Styles (Chicago, Calzone)】Line deep cast iron/pan with dough, layer cheese, meats, and sauce, and bake slowly at 200°C for Chicago; fold and seal fillings inside dough and bake gently for Calzone.

Introduction
A comprehensive guide showcasing distinct pizza styles from around the world, from the crispy thin New York slice and charred Neapolitan Margherita to the thick, cheesy Detroit pan pizza and layered Chicago deep dish. Each style highlights unique dough hydration, fermentation, shaping techniques, and specialized baking temperatures.
Step 1
【New York Style】Stretch the poolish-based dough flat and fairly large. Spread cooked marinara sauce close to the edges, distribute low-moisture mozzarella evenly, and arrange pepperoni slices on top.
Step 2
【New York Style】Preheat the pizza oven deck to around 340°C (645°F). Launch the pizza, lower the flame, and bake for roughly 4 minutes, rotating every 35-40 seconds until the crust is crisp. Finish with a drizzle of hot honey.
Step 3
【Neapolitan Style】Stretch the high-hydration, 48-hour fermented dough gently by hand. Top with hand-crushed uncooked San Marzano tomatoes, sliced drained buffalo mozzarella, and finely grated Parmesan.
Step 4
【Neapolitan Style】Preheat the oven to about 440°C-450°C (825°F-840°F). Launch the pizza and bake for roughly 90 seconds while constantly rotating to achieve leopard spotting on the crust. Garnish with fresh torn basil leaves and extra virgin olive oil.
Step 5
【São Paulo Style】Stretch dough and spread cooked tomato sauce. Top with sliced hard-boiled eggs, sliced red onions, Kalamata olives, sliced ham, dried oregano, and cover completely with shredded mozzarella.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Dough selection and fermentation: Neapolitan styles require high hydration and high-heat tolerance; New York styles benefit from a poolish preferment for flavor and crispness; pan styles require rich, airy focaccia-like proofs.
Temperature control: Neapolitan pizza needs ultra-high heat (440°C-450°C) for a fast 90-second cook. Pan pizzas and deep dish need lower, controlled temperatures (200°C-280°C) so the dough cooks through without burning the toppings.
Moisture management: Buffalo mozzarella must be sliced and drained overnight before baking to prevent excess water pooling on the pizza.
Peel safety: Ensure the prep board and peel are completely free of stray cheese before launching to avoid sticky burns on the baking stone.
