🍕 PART 2 — NOW LET’S TALK NEW HAVEN DOUGH.
Yesterday I showed you how we open our New York-style dough.
Today, you’re seeing the other side of what we do at Joe’s — this is how we open our New Haven dough.
And if you watched yesterday’s video, you should immediately notice something:
This dough is handled completely differently.
With our New York, we’re trying to preserve that defined, rounded cornicione and get an almost perfectly round finished pizza with a puffier, softer edge.
New Haven? Different animal. 🔥
We’re not chasing a perfectly round pizza. We’re opening and stretching this dough differently because we’re looking for a completely different finished product — thinner, crispier, more irregular, more char, and that unmistakable New Haven-style look and bite.
This is exactly why we make two completely different doughs for our two styles of pizza.
Could we make one dough and use it for everything? Sure.
But we won’t.
Different dough.
Different fermentation.
Different opening technique.
Different bake.
Different pizza. 🍕
And remember yesterday’s insider tip… 🤫
⬜ WHITE PROOFING BOX = NEW YORK
🩶 GRAY PROOFING BOX = NEW HAVEN
So next time you’re standing at the counter and see us grab a dough box, you’ll know what we’re making before we even touch the dough.
