NEW YORK STYLE PEPPERONI PIZZA

This pizza closely resembles the New York style pizza I grew up with, featuring a thin crust, a light layer of red sauce, mozzarella, mushrooms, onions, and naturally, pepperoni. New York pizzas typically have a touch of olive oil on top and often a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese
