Ok and I happen to be eating pizza right now 👍
Like most people, and certainly a NYC"r I have/had my pizza slices (I loooove pizza) the usual way -
folded in half, let some of the oil drip off, then chomp down. 👍
I'd usually have 2 slices, but sometimes 3.
As I got into my 40's and had trouble losing weight I was eating my then pizzaria, and it dawned on me to try a knife and fork. 🤔
This was decades before Mayor DeBlasio was snarked for that! I had issues w him - but that was not one of them!
Well - I found out it Slowed my eating down! That then cut eating a third slice by 90%!
Thus saving me $, and some extra pounds.
.
A win-win!
And for Fun...

Just another DU fun subject, that says, there is no right way, or wrong way, to LOVE! All you gotta do is have the ability to love something.
Electric, you just made smile,
Thank you,

(29,522 posts)Once its cool enough to fold and eat, its in the hand. When we get to that last piece and we are stuffed but dont want to take home, pick it apart with a fork.

(2,154 posts)Certain styles, like Chicago or Detroit, beg for a fork to avoid wearing half of it, and to savor it rather than desperately trying to suck up bits dripping everywhere.

But I find pizza does not get along well with standard knives.
So, I place the fat slice on a small cutting board, and eat it with a fork using a round pizza cutter to chop off bite-size slices.
It does slow down the rate of eating, which is always a good thing.
The round-knife method also works well for other sloppy foods like oversized tacos.

(25,082 posts)Usually always use K & F to cut the tip of the slice. Just that's where most things fall off and most difficult to get in your moth w/o making a mess. Once the slice is more manageable, I may stop using a K & F. No real protocol.

Restaurant pizza - definite knife and fork.
