It is claimed that the mineral composition of the tap water is what makes the dough have a specific flavor. There are some Pizzerias around the country that got their start in the NYC/LI are but moved to a different state, that have the tap water shipped to them from NYC/LI. There are some people that support this claim because the “Italian” argue doesn’t apply so much anymore. It used to be argued that only Italians made the best pizza but in recent years some of the most acclaimed pizzas are from Greek owned pizzerias. It may be the Italian recipes but some pizza enthusiasts claim that the reason if that the tap water gives the high-gluten dough a much better flavor and that there is a reason that it cannot be replicated in other parts of the country or even the state.

Many scholars have written about the particularly intimate connection between food and family prevalent in Italian-American culture. Herbert Gans interprets this to be a legacy of the traditional Southern Italian peasant culture that the immigrant generation successfully passed down to the younger generations in America. Thus, the connection is implied to be a “transplanted” cultural trait. However, when viewed in light of the social changes in America, this bond was inevitably affected by the Italians’ experiences in America. Italian-American food culture was a tradition shaped by changes outside and inside the family. An examination of the Italian-American family of the interwar years (c.1919-1940) demonstrates that the critical role food came to play in the family life of Italian-Americans was very much the product of inter-generational negotiation. The second generation , largely affected by public discourse, originally viewed “Italian” food as a marker of social inferiority. Therefore, food became a major source of family conflict between generations. But, through inter-generational negotiation, food was ultimately to become a fundamental unifying force of the Italian-American family. Today, in light of the rise of inter-ethnic marriage rates between Italians and Italian-Americans in America, a new form of negotiation centering on food is taking place within the Italian-American family—‘inter-spousal’ negotiation.
