A Photographic Ode to the New York Pizzeria
The New York Pizza Project documents the heart and soul of the tiny, fast-paced restaurants that fuel the city.
There is something inescapably New York about a New York pizza parlor.
It’s about the fluorescent lights, the orange plastic booths, the slices served on white scalloped plates with a piece of wax paper to catch the grease. It’s about the fountain soda in the red Coke cups, the tiled walls dotted with memories of a bygone era—newspaper clippings heralding the joint’s golden years, photos of celebrities with their arms draped around the aproned owner.
