New York-style pizza originated in New York City in the early 1900s, and in 1905, the first pizza establishment in the United States was opened in New York's Little Italy. It is known for its large, wide, thin, and foldable shape. New York-style pizza is a common style that may be confused with New Haven-style pizza, due to New Haven's variety also typically being thin-crusted. The pizza is sold by the slice and as a whole pie, and regional variations exist in Northeastern and other states in the U.S.
