Houston – Nothing screams Friday more than pizza and if New York-style is your favorite, you don’t have to hop on a plane to enjoy a classic New York-style slice.
Marco’s Pizza has launched their New York Style Pizza, bringing huge foldable slices, a thin crust, and deli-style pepperoni nationwide.
Regional Director Zac Sherron joined Houston Life to share what sets the new pizza apart and the work that went into creating an authentic New York-style experience.
One of the defining features of New York pizza is its large, foldable slices. Unlike traditional hand-tossed pizzas, the New York Style Pizza is stretched into a larger pie, creating a thinner crust that still delivers the right balance of crispness and chew.
Marco’s also developed a special crushed tomato sauce for the pizza, different than their signature sauce. The sauce features a simpler flavor profile designed to let the tomatoes shine.
Another standout ingredient is the deli-style pepperoni. Larger than traditional pepperoni slices, it delivers a bolder flavor and a more authentic deli-inspired appearance.
Creating the pizza wasn’t as simple as making a thinner crust. Sherron said the company spent considerable time researching New York pizza traditions and refining the recipe to capture the flavors and textures fans expect from a true New York slice.
The launch comes at a time when many families and friends are gathering for summer celebrations, sporting events, and watch parties. The large slices and shareable format make the pizza an easy option for feeding a crowd.
Founded in 1978 by Pasquale “Pat” Giammarco in Toledo, Ohio, Marco’s Pizza has grown to more than 1,200 locations across the United States, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, and Mexico. The company continues to expand while introducing new menu offerings inspired by regional pizza traditions.
