How do you eat Pizza?

[Kajira Callista]

Just wondering

 

[Sir_Winston54]

I start at the point, mostly... however, if it's a very thin, flexible crust, I'll fold it lengthwise, and then start at the point.

 

[Quint]

I start at the crust...I like the point the best and I always save the best bite of what I'm eating for last.

I had no idea people folded pizza. Huh.

I learned only a few years ago that people actually ate pizza with a fork and knife.

So how do you deal with really hot pizza? Wait for it to cool? Pshaw!

Ditto with one other exception. My one brother's monastery makes KILLER Italian style deep dish pizza that's loaded with stuff. So whenever I'm going to be up there for any length of time; he tries to get them to do it for dinner while I'm there. They pile on, or in the toppings so you sorta HAVE to knife and fork it. It's pretty cool.

Saving the best for last, I was taught many years ago, is a gamble. The world might not last long enough for you to get to the part that you like best.

Life is tenuous; eat desert first!!

That, and also T (my dominant half) has a penchant for stealing the last bite. Grr, arg!

My grandfather ate pizza with a fork and knife - mind you, he ate everything with a fork and knife. Hamburgers, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Smarties....

Personally, I eat it from the point.

I 've been eating it with fork and knife all my life ! Am I weird ??

 

[Xelebes]

There are a few pizzareias that do make pizzas which call for the fork and knife to be used simply because the pizzas are LOADED. (Please note capitals.)

The old Mom and Pop pizza makers used to make them a lot better than these big resteraunt chains do now. There was a particularly wonderful flavor that is now missing. I like to start at the point and I prefer not to use a fork unless I have to.

 

[Bridget69]

I usually start at the point. I sometimes eat pizza with a fork and knife if it's too hot to hold.

 

[Aeroil]

I prefer to eat my pizza's whole, as a circle, I eat a path into it, then split into three directions, making a neat looking husk. From there on I Go around it, eating the leftover husk counter clockwise.

And if you don't buy that story, then perhaps you'll believe that I eat from the point, because it's the truth.

The last bite is a Dom's birthrite! I don't even let my subs order food I wouldn't want a few bites of.

 

[bronntanas]

The knife and fork thing seems to be a European convention... Once upon a time I used to do that. Then I went to college and moved into a dorm, whereupon I discovered that pizza in a room of hungry rugby players has a limited life span and I became a two-fisted pizza eater. I always start at the point, folded over length-wise. Unless the pizza comes from this one pub. It's really thin crust so it can't take a lot of toppings. In which case, you stack two slices atop one another and start at the point.

Then we should hope, Marquis, that we never share a pizza, because I can be very viscious when I want the last slice *evil grin*

Just kidding, I'm way too generous to ever take the last slice lol.

fold and bite.

nyc represent!

 

[ammre]

well normally i use my hands to place a portion in my mouth, which i'll then bite off, and most likely keep in my mouth several seconds as i attempt to cool it off by breating out thought my mouth (who actually waits for it to cool, psht) then i'll chew it and swallow it... often i like to have Coke a Cola to wash it down with... it's somehting i always had as a kid an you come to love the film that gets on top of the coke from the powdery stuff on the pizza crust (the powdery stuff only comes from real pizza not that dominaopissahutcrap).
Repeat.

Uh, why do you want to know? If you are inviting us over do we BYOB? I am a pointer, by the way.

A related but rather controversial question: what professional establishment makes the best pizza in the world?

My vote goes for Mineos in Pittsburgh, with Calgary pizza houses a decent but not close second. NYC probably has some good pizza houses, too, but during the times I've been there, I didn't get a chance to explore them. To me, the use of garlic makes or breaks a pizza, and Mineos definitely uses it.

Rays pizza in NY is supposed to be the best but actually you get better pizza from the lil shop on the corner.

haha, I hear that loud and clear.

I'm partial to L&B in brooklyn.


I've been stuck in Vermont for the better part of 3 years now. Its all semi thick factory ordered prego grossness up here that I'd rather die then eat it.
AND most of the places up here don't understand pizza by the slice or the concept of folding. Its some odd quasi gormet mix bettween chicago deep dish and nyc traditional thin ... drives me nuts.

There are only a few pizzas that can and should be eaten fork n knife. Salad slices, deep dish, specality slices too thick to fold, or the occasional sicilian slice too messy to eat straight on (a proper slice of sicilian isn't folded)

The rest is stacked (or not) , folded, taken for a good strut... then bitten.

*ducks from any object thrown bc of bad/stupid reference lol*



A place opened up a few months ago in the next town over, they moved up from one of the boroughs and the pizza is a fresh of breath air whenever I remember that the place exists.
