NY Pizza In The City Different - 5th Generation Italian “Pie Slingers”
I found delicious NY Pizza here in Santa Fe y’all and it is legit!!!
One of the oldest theories about New York City pizza is that the city's tap water is responsible for its superior taste. Many Americans might not know that in the Big Apple, they're almost as proud of their water as they are of their pizza, and that the city has been adding fluoride to the water for more than 50 years. New York has been known to have “soft water” which may have some influence on the quality of bread, bagels, and you guessed it: pizza! The majority of the city's water comes from the Catskill or Delaware watersheds, where it is then transferred to the Hillview Reservoir for chemical treatment and pH balance.
I had always heard this but after talking with the owner of Bruno’s here in Santa Fe…he confirmed this for me!
Our AC guy told us we had to try Bruno’s if we were pizza lovers!! And I am so glad we did!!
Their Nonno, an Italian Immigrant, was a pizzaiolo using a coal burning oven in Little Italy-NY. When he relocated to Colorado, he was frustrated because he was unable to replicate the dough he made daily in NY. He decided to add IPA to his recipe, with this addition, and a few other tweaks, their Nonno’s crust tasted just like the pies he made in NY. During their weekly Sunday family gatherings they learned how to make the perfect NY Style Pie.
5th Generation Italian “Pie Slingers” keeps their family tradition alive serving up NY Style Wood Fired Pies at their permanent location in the Railyard District in Santa Fe. In addition to their permanent location their mobile units are at many local events serving their NY Style Pies, their Nonno’s Cannoli, Gelato, and other desserts.
Punchy’s Pizza is their partner company that extends their family tradition to the Albuquerque and Rio Rancho area at local breweries, distilleries, and special events. Both locations are family owned and operated, serving up their nonno’s NY Style Pie!
You just gotta experience this true NY slice!!!
