A slice of New York-style pizza is characterized by having a puffy, bread-like, outer crust which quickly tapers down to a very thin, crisp middle. The crust is usually dark brown and somewhat charred in appearance. No pans are used in the cooking process, rather the pizza is assembled on a pizza peel and then placed directly on the oven deck to cook.
In order to simulate the deck of a commercial pizza oven, you should purchase a pizza stone (or unglazed quarry tiles) to allow you to cook the pizza without using a pan. The hot stone draws moisture out of the crust which allows it to become crisp on the outside while remaining bread-like on the inside. Pizza stones are widely available and somewhat expensive. Better (and cheaper) are unglazed quarry tiles. Quarry tiles can be found wherever ceramic floor tiles are sold. 3/8 to 1/2-inch thick tiles will suffice. I use Daltile Red Blaze Q40 unglazed quarry tiles in my oven. I was able to purchase a whole case of quarry tiles--enough for four or five ovens--for a fraction of the price of a single store-bought pizza stone (the extra tiles are handy in case one breaks.) If you decide to go with quarry tiles, just make certain that the tiles you choose are unglazed and are made of only natural red clay (i.e., be sure that no harmful chemicals were used in the manufacturing process.) Place the stone/tiles on the lowest oven rack.

A New York Style pizza has thin crust, it is made with a real Italian sauce, and top shelf cheese. Most importantly, it is made in the same style as the best pizza in the world which is from New Haven, Connecticut, as well as other cities around New Haven.

Go to New York, eat some, and then you'll know. It's just WAAAY better. Better flavor, and generally their "pizza by the slice" is a HUGE slice of pizza. But then again, I've lived a lot of places. I've had New York and Chicago pizza and I think they're both good.

That Depends on whether you mean NYC or New York State. I've eaten pizza all over the country (and in two others), and the best pizza is not in NYC, it's in Buffalo, NY followed by Chicago, then NYC. And the difference in Buffalo pizza is the tangier sauce, versus sweet sauce, as well as small, spicy pepperoni versus large mild pepperoni.

New York Pizza is real pizza. Everything else is a cheap imitation.
