C'mon man, we know that  the only thing you care about is that your pepperoni edges are slightly charred!

You dont  know what you are missing.  Just try it once and I guarantee it will change your pizza life.

Tried to get into Juliana's once, but did not want to spend my day waiting in line. It does look good.

You must not have had very good company.

Why not just get a calzone if you're gonna roll it all up inside the crust anyways?

Somehow they believe the *ahem* ritual </quotation fingers> of folding adds something to the overall eating experience & taste of the pie.  It's like the kid who puts an import tuning sticker on his car and thinks it suddenly has more horsepower.

For me, folding is for eating on the go. And when you live in NYC, many slices are eaten on the go. After a while it becomes a habit, and you'll find yourself at a nice sit-down pizzeria (or, in Scruffy's case, at home) folding like a troglodyte instead of taking the time to enjoy your meal.

I had such good company that we had other things to do.

I don’t think it increases the taste I think it is just habit.  I can’t imgine eating pizza with a knife and fork or without a fold. 
And I do agree with dan, most of the time pizza is eat on the go hence the fold. The fold prevents grease stoppage too.

I would say that I don't want a calzone because the of the heat trapped in there.  Burns the crap outta your mouth.

Another practical reason for the fold is that you make sure the cheese cannot slide off if the shit is sloppy/too hot.

I kid, I don't actually care what you call a pizza (Lou's, Ellio's, or Amazing/Good Pizza) or how you eat it.  (Fold, drop on the floor, fork & knife, or even (gasp!) dab the grease from the top of it with a napkin.)  Some of the best pizza is had a 2 AM, and on occasion I forget that I even had it.

It is fun to share pizza stories.  Spoke with a person this weekend about 'Taking a Lou's' and they laughed out loud and said they had a similar experience.  Stories like these make the world go 'round.  (And re-enforces that the best pizza in the US comes from the Mid-Atlantic region of NY/NJ.)

I tried it once. Hated it. It made no logical sense to me.

(I've honestly never met a single Canadian who folded FWIW)

So you guys start folding your pizza when you get married? Is there a special part of the ceremony dedicated to this?
