    I think option A is the only viable one here! B and C fuck up the crust-to-centre ratio

    If you have a big group, just buy more pizza. That said, I do want to try eating a pizza spiral now

      Tavern style pizza with its thin crispy crust is made for square slicing. Ratio issue really doesn’t exist for it.

        Yup! Those corner pieces are surprisingly good.

          It’s good if you want more crust.

        but even then, some people get crust and others don’t. I guessss that might suit some people’s preferences, but I feel like you’d end up left with most of the crust pieces

          If your friends are leaving the crust get out of there and go find new friends!

            If you like crust so much, then why don’t you go find friends who leave it?

      You’re an adult. Do what you want.

      But I’m invested now. Can you try it and report back?

      You start by eating crust only

        Well in the illustration the spiral is thick enough that you do get a decent amount of core along with the crust! I’ll take it

        The bigger problem for me is that it assumes you’re going to eat the whole pizza, and I could never manage that myself. Halfway through and you’re left with the middle of the pizza.

      The crust to center ratio is already fucked by the size of pizza. Crust goes as r while center goes as r^2.

        Yep although you can preserve the ratio by keeping the pizza the same size and increasing the number of slices.

        Where’s the handle on a square piece of pizza? That edge of crust is what you hold on to in order to minimize mess.

          What if we invented something you could use to hold on food without getting your hands dirty? Like, something akin to a pitchfork but smaller, that you can stab your food with to bring it to your mouth?

            Are you suggesting people eat pizza with a knife and fork? Pizza?!?!

      Yeah the square cut seems like a bad idea to me. Not the worst thing but why not just cut the pieces into smaller wedges if you’re trying to make sure more people get a chance at a fair share of food?
