Celebrate New York-Style Pizza With the Best in Kentucky—A Must-Try Hotspot for Pizza Lovers

Kentucky bourbon. Kentucky barbecue. Kentucky music. So many of our favorite things have roots deep in the Blue Grass, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t influenced by other states. One shining example is New York-style pizza, a simple yet iconic dish that needs no improvements. Just ask anyone who’s visited Louisville’s New York Pizza Company, an authentic slice of NY right here in Kentucky.

New York Pizza Company is a locally-owned Louisville staple. From the moment you set foot inside, you’ll recognize all the trappings of a classic by-the-slice shop. However, New York Pizza Company is far from average; it takes a classic New York concept and gives it a healthy dose of Kentucky hospitality. And the pizza speaks for itself. The dough is crafted in-house daily, providing the perfect canvas for cheese and toppings.

Traditional New York-style pizza has a thin crust. The best—and the kind you’ll find at New York Pizza Company—is foldable but still gives a little crunch. And the slices are big. Really big. If you’re there for a single slice, you can choose from a quarter or an eighth of a 20-inch pizza.

Not sure what to order? The Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza is a fan favorite. You can also order 20-inch pizzas to-go to easily feed your whole crew or stock up on leftovers. But you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu; New York Pizza Company is the kind of place that does the basics really well, even if you’re dropping by for a single slice of cheese pizza.

We’ll leave you with a glowing review left by one unsuspecting visitor: “What started as a one-off order from DoorDash has turned into our family tradition on weekends. Do yourself a favor and give this place a chance next time you’re craving pizza.”

New York Pizza Company is open Wednesdays through Sundays from 4:00 p.m. until 9:30 p.m. (10:00 p.m. on the weekends). Be sure to ask about dessert specials, too; the pistachio ricotta cake is unforgettable, as is the light-and-airy homemade cheesecake.
