I have recently move from NY to Canada and now I am missing the NY style pizzas terrribly! Anyone here knows where I can source good pepperonis and mozzarella cheese too? I've been trying to replicate different recipes at home. Thanks a bunch!

depends on which part of Canada you live in now. my uncle live in Montreal and he likes to order from pizza bros a lot
 
Welcome to Canada! I know how hard it can be to find the right ingredients for that perfect NY-style pizza. You might want to check out Salerno Classic or Galbani for your mozzarella,they really do a great job of capturing that cheesy goodness. And don't forget Fantino & Mondello for the pepperoni, it's just about as close to the real deal as you can get. Do you happen to have any specialty stores in your area? Or are you usually doing your shopping online?
 
Fresh whole milk mozzarella at farmers markets or Italian grocers, that's my personal take, it makes a huge difference compared to the usual shredded stuff.
 
You'll never fully replicate NY-style pizza at home, it's the water, of course people argue this, but New York's mineral-heavy tap water genuinely affects dough texture and flavor. Everything else is just chasing second place..(DON'T QUOTE ME!!! :) )
