I always eat it with my hands, starting from the pointy tip, gradually making my way to crust that has all the base stuff (tomato, cheese etc) eaten away with just the crust - and then eat the crust.

The original Neapolitan-style pizza they make in Europe and certain fancier restaurants (usually authentic Italian as opposed to Italian-American) in North America is supposed to be eaten with a knife and fork. There's an Italian place in my neighbourhood with a stone oven that makes this kind, and I use knife and fork when I go there.
You can attempt to eat them with your hands, as I did when I was in Italy (don't look at me like that! I was a proper-pizza-virgin!), but they're just too flabby.

Worst thing about those original Italian pizzas though, is that after you've eaten them every other pizza (especially those American...things) just pales in comparison. Forever spoiled.

But I still eat those inferior pizzas from time to time, and when I do I always cut them into triangles and eat them with my hands. My paws are HUGE so I never have any problem with big pieces of pizza.

Depends of the cut, size, heat, how greasy it is, and crust.

Huge meaty greasy triangular slab: Fork.

Small drier square: Fingers.

Small greasy square: Napkin and fingers.

And so on and so forth.

I take off all the toppings, and then I peel off the cheese. I then lick off all the sauce, and throw everything else out... am I doing it right?

Seriously though, if it's incredibly thing pizza then I roll it up, but most of the time I eat it as a finger food.

I eat with fork and knife. Some people think it's weird, but I don't really care.

depends on the situation but the general rule unless your eating with the queen you can use you hands. If I am eating with a group of strangers I will pritty much just do as they do.

I was going to reply something like this at first. Oh and also, nice avatar you got, installing FS2 right now ;)

If it's Italian pizza, I use the fork and knife. If it's American pizza, I eat it with by bare hands.

To answer the last question first, I don't pay attention to other eaters. I am only bothered when some right-handed person is sitting to my left. I'm left-handed you see...I am also annoyed during get-togethers and parties because once it gets out that I don't drink I am bombarded with the, 'why' question.

Anyway, on to the Pizza!!

In my area, we have the NY style pizza. Deep Dish is available but we never get it at my house because nobody here cares about the foods I enjoy eating. Not that it matters, 9 out of 10 times I'll eat pizza by hand. Once I get near the crust, I turn the thing sideways so as to get crust-and-pizza-bits in each bite. That other 1/10 of the time, I'll roll the slice up and eat it like that. That only really works for the New Yorkiest of the New York style pizzas.

Knife and fork only (for everything), don't know what germs you can find on your hands. I've been called wierd for eating a cheese + onion sandwhich with a knofe a fork before but at least I know it's not being contaminated then.

It depends on how floppy the pieces are. If they don't look like they're plotting to jump on me the moment I touch them with my hands, I'll be prepared to trust them with that responsibility.

One does not question HOW to eat pizza, one simply eats one of the world's most perfect meals as one likes, while glancing warily at anyone who might steal the last slice.

If it's a question of etiquette, people who are worried about being proper generally don't bring pizza to the table in the first place because they don't eat 'commoner food'.

I eat pizza with my mouth.

I'm really irritated by slurping, people gasping for breath when taking a bite, chewing with their mouths open, taking too big bites, taking too small bites etc.

I pick it up and place the end furthest from the crust into my mouth, whereupon I bite down and proceed to chew/swallow, repeating as necessary until only the crust remains, and then I eat that too.

Unless you're dealing with a slice of a deep-dish pizza with no crust to use as a handle, why the hell would you eat pizza with a knife and fork?
