I swear I looked like a bum when I grabbed a slice of pizza with my hands because everyone was using a knife and fork, one of my worst moments

    Knife and fork for pizza?! Did they not wash their hands or something? That sounds like something only the insane would do

      I do it when possible, so I don’t get my hands dirty.
      But I know I’m the werid one.
      And I’m comfortable with that.

      IMO, it depends on how bendy the pizza is, how big the crust (i.e. handle) is and wether it’s a sit-down restaurant or not. I’ve had some pizzas that tasted great, but would have been really messy to eat with my hands.

        You gotta fold the big floppy ones in half, silly.

        Really that’s how we eat it .

        pizza is usually a finger food, unless it’s something like a chicago deep dish.

          I’m talking about very flat pizza made by Italians who immigrated post WW2 and probably visit Italy almost every year, because that’s actually really easy to do when you’re in Europe.

          Some pizza is just very bendy, it’s fingerfood the same way that tortelloni are finger food - you could, but it’s just more practical to use cutlery.
