7. Native NYer here. If the pizza is too thick or has many toppings, the knife-fork-and-plate method

is acceptable.

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.
