Why this pizza doesn't make you feel heavy

A New York slice is supposed to feel light. Here is how Nuovo York makes sure it does — from a 72-hour cold ferment to a pH-controlled sauce.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

Questions, answered.

The pizza is different. The questions are normal. Here's what most people want to know.

Why isn't there more cheese?

Because we strive for balance! Every element — sauce, cheese, crust — is proportioned so none of them disappear into the others. More cheese sounds better until it's the only thing you taste. Atalay measures for balance the same way he measures everything else: by what produces the best result, not the most impressive-looking slice. If you want extra cheese, ask for it. But we recommend you try it as-is first.

Why does Nuovo York taste different from every other spot in the East Village?

A few things add up. The dough cold-ferments for 72 hours, which relaxes the gluten and gives the crust a complexity that same-day dough doesn't have. The sauce is pH-controlled to stay between 4.2 and 4.6, which keeps it bright without going sharp. The deck oven runs at 550°F, so the bottom sets fast and comes out with actual structure. None of these are secrets, they just take more time than most places are willing to spend.

What's a Sicilian square, and why is yours lighter than it looks?

Sicilian pizza is a thicker, square-cut style baked in a pan. Ours uses the same cold-fermented dough as the round pies, 48 hours of fermentation that develops structure before the dough ever sees heat. That process is engineered to produce more open air pockets in the crust. More air means less mass per bite. A square slice looks like it should weigh you down. It doesn't. That's not a happy accident, it's what the dough is designed to do. Available by the slice or as a full 16-inch pie.

What does pH 4.2 actually mean for my pizza?

Tomato acidity changes by can and by season. A sauce that's too acidic (below pH 4.0) tastes sharp and sits uncomfortably. Too low in acidity (above 4.8) and it tastes flat. We measure every batch and keep it between 4.2 and 4.6, which is the range where the sauce is bright without being aggressive. No added sugar to mask sourness, no cream to soften it. Just tomatoes, salt, and the pH check.

Are you open late?

Yes - we're open for lunch, snacks, dinner, late-night.
Mon–Thu & Sun 11AM–3AM | Fri–Sat 11AM–4:30AM

Do you have gluten-free options?

Yes. We offer 12-inch gluten-free pizzas in six options: cheese, pepperoni, margherita, white, mushroom, and build-your-own. We don't operate a celiac-safe kitchen, so cross-contact with wheat flour is possible. If you have celiac disease, that's worth knowing before you order.

Do you cater?

Yes. We handle catering for offices, events, and groups of any size. Get in touch through the contact page and we'll put together something that works for your headcount.

Can I order online or for delivery?

Yes. Order through Uber Eats for delivery or pickup. You can also walk in at 105 East 9th Street.

What's the deal with the heart-shaped pizza?

Same dough, same sauce, same cheese as the round pies, just shaped differently. Available in four versions: cheese, pepperoni, margherita, and white. Good for sharing, or not.
