Thin crust, New York style, East coast pizza ... it goes by many names, but one thing's for sure: deep dish pizza this isn't. Whether you like it big enough to fold, or crust so thin it's crispy, these places offer a variety of "thin crust" to suit your pizza desires.
Any collection of New York style pizza in the 'Nati should include this favorite: Fratelli's. You can create your own thin crust pizza, or choose from their specialty ones like the Madison Square Garden or The New Yorker.
No need to fly to the Big Apple. Flying Pizza's traditional New York style pizza is thin, homemade and hand-tossed, and comes by the slice or by the pie.

Donatos is great Columbus/Dayton style pizza. Nothing to do with New York.
