My brother is always ordering "Neopolitan" pizzas; what he has in mind is a New York City style pizza. Am I correct in saying that the two are different types of pizza?|||Yes, they are different, although Neapolitan style pizza is becoming more popular in NYC.

New York City style pizza is the typical thin, and foldable pizza that can usually be ordered by the slice in your typical pizzeria in NYC and just about anywhere else in the U.S.

Neapolitan style pizza are small, thin pizzas made in wood-burning ovens at very high temps and almost never sold by the slice. The temps are so high, the pizza typically cooks in under two minutes. The classic Neopolitan variety is the Margherita which is topped with fresh sauce made from San Marzano tomatoes, fresh buffalo mozzarella and basil.

Then there is "New York鈥揘eapolitan", which is similar to the above, but sometimes made in coal ovens instead of wood burning (but still at very high temps) and is usually larger, thinner and crispier.

When in NYC and in search for Neapolitan pizza, I recommend Luzzo's on the Lower East Side. There are a few other greats, but this is the best I've found.|||neopolitan style means the style of naples.new york city and naples are 2 very different places,im sure the pizzas differ as well.type neopolitan pizza in and see what sites/recipes have to say.
