New York Pizza Dept | Our Story

Real New York Pizza, Planted in Idaho

In 1996, homesick New Yorkers tired of bad pizza out west opened their own place. Nearly three decades later, every slice is still made the same way, with NYC water and recipes that never cut corners. New York Pizza Dept is locally owned and operated, and we wouldn't have it any other way. Being part of the Post Falls community isn't just where we do business, it's who we are. We've proudly supported the Post Falls Police Department, local schools, and the families that walk through our doors every week. One of the things we love most is visiting elementary schools and letting kids vote for the best teacher of the month. The winning class gets a pizza party on us. Because great teachers deserve to be celebrated, and pizza makes everything better. Whether you're grabbing a quick slice, feeding the whole family, or ordering for your next event, we're here to serve you the same way we always have. Real pizza, real people, real community.
The Craving That Started It All

The founders moved west and found no great New York pizza waiting for them. So they opened one in Post Falls, Idaho in 1996 — not a business plan, an act of stubbornness.
The Water Secret

The Water Secret

New York water's mineral profile is what makes the crust. So NYPD engineered their supply to match it — because that corner was never up for cutting.

A Real Neighborhood Place

School groups come for behind-the-scenes pizza demos. Regulars get greeted by name. That's not strategy — that's just what happens when you actually give a damn.
The Standard We Keep

The Standard We Keep

Great pizza isn't about geography — it's about refusing to lower the standard. Nearly thirty years in, every slice still proves it.
