Not too far from us is a pizza parlor that makes fabulous New Haven style pizza-thin crust, fresh ingredients, excellent sauce, cooked to perfection. My husband’s favorite is their Italian combo: bacon, sausage, pepperoni, onion, garlic, mushrooms, peppers. A carnivore’s dream

New Haven style pizza has a very thin crust, cooked crisp but still a little moist, with a thin layer of sauce and whatever toppings you might like. It's baked at very high temperature, ideally in a brick oven (although there are quite a few places who manage a yummy version w/o the brick oven).

Never having had NY pizza (I know, I know) I can't answer. I consulted w/ my resident ex-New Yorker who answered, "There are many styles of NY pizza," and didn't have an answer either.

If the NY pizza you're thinking of is anything like Northern NJ pizza, the crust there is somewhat thicker and a little less crisp, and the toppings tend to be laid on a bit thicker, too. You can order New Haven style pizza w/ lots of toppings (e.g. the Italian combo I described), but if you're only ordering one or two items, it isn't layered the way I've seen it in NJ.
