Traze Pizza Lab

If you’ve never had the square variety of pizza known as grandma-style, you’ve been seriously missing out! Popularized on New York's Long Island, it’s taken New York City by storm in recent years and few are doing it better than Traze Pizza Lab. Traze was founded by Natalie DeSabato in New York City in 2015, and her pizzas are entirely vegetarian; some are even vegan. She started out serving her signature pizzas at punk shows and arts spaces in Brooklyn and Queens, and they proved so popular that she expanded well beyond pop ups.

Natalie’s small-batch vegetarian pizzas start with a well-fermented sourdough crust, which is twice-baked for fluffy-on-the-inside, crisp-on-the-outside perfection. From there, she’s topping them with everything from classic marinara & mozzarella to falafel, smoked gouda, & white sauce, an ode to NYC’s famed Halal carts. These grandma pizzas have a become a cult hit in NYC, and now they’re shipping to your door!
