Eating Pizza: How do You do it?

[rockyoumonkeys]

I don't really eat it much anymore, but when I do, I'll either fold it or use a knife and fork.

Well as a native of the NY/NJ area the only way to eat pizza is to pick it up, fold it in half lengthwise and go to town, crust is eaten last as it is the main support structure.

Yay! I generally fold if the pizza is too hot to be eaten open faced. Sometimes I don't eat the crust.

That people eat the pizza they serve outside the NY/NJ (possible exception for Chicago, definite exception for Italy) area bothers me. Real American pizza comes from a locally owned pizzeria.

/pizza snobbery

It also really bothers me when people gesticulate with utensils in their hand. It just seems unnecessarily dangerous.

 

[Girl With One Eye]

With my hands and I don't eat the crust unless it stuffed with cheese.

Finger food, always. You may disagree with me if you please, but in the words of Bill O'Reilly, "You're entitled to your opinion, I know it's wrong."

Basically this, although I'll replace the Bill O'Reilly quote with a George Carlin one: "So the next time some asshole says to you ?I have the right to my opinion.? You say, ?oh yeah? Well I have the right to my opinion and my opinion is you have no right to your opinion!? then shoot the fuck and walk away."

Finger food, but sometimes I'll roll it up and eat it like a burrito. (not the whole pizza)

What I usualy do is take a bit or two from the smaller emd of the pizza. Then I fold it so the ends of the crust touch each other. Then I eat it like a greasy flat bread sandwitch.

Why? Because ever time I ate it traditionaly, the cheese would come off of the pizza ( when the pizza is just out of the oven). So folding it helps the cheese and toppings stay in and it makes me feel fuller more.

I scarf it down.

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

With my hands, tip to crust.

As for what bothers me, my sister smacks when she eats and she only eats the toppings off of the pizza.

 

[Slash Dementia]

As for what bothers me, my sister smacks when she eats.

I had this friend when I was about 6-7 who would smack his teeth and his eyebrows would raise every time he chewed. It was annoying.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

Correctly, that's how.

Also, I despise smacking.

 

[Diddy_Mao]

It depends on what's on it and how it's made.

Your average delivery style pizza I'll just grab and eat. If it's a thin crust I might fold it a bit but the basic idea is still the same.

However there's a local pizza joint that makes a Deep dish lasagna pizza that, I swear to christ, is about 2 and 1/2 inches thick and you just can't pick it up and eat it. It will buckle under its own weight. You don't have a choice but to eat it with a knife and fork .

 

[Polaris19]

Hands only.

I don't do deep dish pizzas so never have needed to learn to use a fork or knife with my pizza.

 

[tombman888]

Hands for me. Unless its one of those really oily pizzas that just fall apart when you touch them. then, and only then, do i use utensils for it.

I hate people who chew with their mouths open, drives me insane.

 

[Harker067]

RAWR! Nom nom nom nom nom nom nom!!!!!!

 

[Gudrests]

I get called weird by my girlfriend for eating pizza with a fork and knife instead of just grabbing it with my hands, though I sometimes do, and when I do, I eat it crust first. Is it weird that I do? I know some restaurants that give a fork and knife to you, but how do you view it, and how do you eat pizza?

Also, what bothers you about the way others eat?
For me, it's the way my dad eats soup or cereal; he slurps from the spoon which I find disgusting. I also find when people chew really loudly (only applicable to guys)--I can't stand it; or when people talk with their mouths full (only guys..).

Were you never taught how to eat propperly. there is a reason the crust is on the outside like that...so you can grab it. if she dumps you, im very sorry...but you deserve it. and yes it is weird...if you were to eat like that near me...i might hit you...and thats deffinitly the last slice you ever get from me

 

[Samwise137]

There are actually many different kinds of pizza, some of which REQUIRE a fork and knife (they're either too heavy or too awkward to eat with your hands). I personally prefer a NY style pizza with large slices requiring folding in half to maneuver to my gob. Oh, hey it's pizza night tonight in fact! Thank you for reminding me!

 

[Julianking93]

I eat it with a fork and knife.
I hardly ever eat it with my hands.

Though as for what other people do.....I can't stand it when people slurp things.

One of my mum's friends slurps everything. Not just soup. She'll slurp sandwiches. I don't even know how that's possible.

 

[Zealous]

I fold it over itself to make a makeshift panzeroti and eat it from the bottom/middle up.

 

[latenightapplepie]

With my hands. It's just easier that way. Besides, it's pizza, not haute cuisine.
