    So why do people fold, if not for expeditious eating? I always thought that was the point, lol.
    Because you're generally eating a giant slice while standing or on the move. 

    Sitdown pizza is another story. That generally is cut into smaller slices and eaten while sitting at a restaurant, so it doesn't get folded unless someone does it out of habit. 
    All the sit-down pizza I have ever had has been cut so you can fold it.  You fold it so the grease doesn't get on you lol.  
    If I actually have time to sit at a good pizzeria in NYC, knife and fork until the structural integrity is such that one can pick it up. Folding it is an insult to the pizzaiolo.

    Dude NO ONE uses a knife and fork when eating pizza. You aren't Italian. 
    I remember that people in London didn't know how to eat pizza back in the 80s. When you went out for pizza (which was invariably disgusting, because they didn't know how to make pizza either. Fucking PIzza Hut was the best option, which is terrible), everyone was there eating it with a knife and fork, lol. We actually had to do it ourselves because everyone was acting like we were animals or something, eating it with our hands. :lol:

    'Cuz those who think they live at the center of the universe eat floppy pizza that can't be handled otherwise.

    Lou Malnatis is one pizza I'll sometimes start to eat with a fork and knife until the slice is halfway done.  Otherwise it's like trying to balance a 10 pound dumbbell with each bite lol

    This thread just confirms my suspicion that everyone who's not a New Yorker is just wrong.


    you're not a new yorker....you're a masshole by way of florida. WTF?
    Wrong. I may currently reside in Massachusetts, but it is quite possibly the worst mistake I have ever made in my life.

    Massholes actually enjoy living here. I'm miserable every damn day and take steps to try to escape back to New York. 

    I'm still a New Yorker to anyone who actually knows me. You obviously don't.

    Oh, and Massholes especially think I'm a New Yorker.

    true & im not a new yorker. i've saw plenty of food shows. new yorkers grab a giant slice on the go, fold it & eat while standing & walking. they claim they're busy, perhaps they're fulla doodoo? frickin relax a bit. it's a different lifestyle that's for sure

    You'll look silly eating a slice without folding it.  Just sayin'...

    Only pizza I've eaten with a knife and fork is that Chitown deep dish.  That 'ish is good because I love cheese.
  • chadwickchadwick Posts: 21,157
    what about a good slice of breakfast pizza? haven't had it in a number of years. in iowa, you grab a slice or two at a gas station deli. the sauce is a cheese based sauce. sausage, scrambled egg bits & cheese. the stuff rocks w/ a mocha or pumpkin spice latte.

    chadwick, maybe Iowa is better than CA in terms of gas station (deli?!) food but I wouldn't trust eating from any of the ones I go to.

    Your first mistake was you were in Iowa.

    Your second mistake was eating pizza in Iowa.

    Third mistake was eating pizza from a(shudder) gas station...

    Fourth was eating a breakfast pizza?  Does it have eggs and bacon on it?

    I am a NYer and take pizza very seriously.

    I think you're on to something here. Folding pizza is a survival instinct for those people.

    hey, phuckers, iowa rocks balls. as a matter of fact the best pizza i've ever had was in iowa at a little mom & pop joint. they had a backroom w/ arcade games & two pool tables. as a teenager this place was partytownusa. great grub, lenient with us young dickheads, & many of us worked there. i was a delivery guy from time to time. we'd stash our supplies in the men's restroom & have a pool shooting party. this went on for a few yrs. super great pizza. no i will not give up the name or address. y'all are screwed, go to nyc

    We had a place like that in my college town. I can't remember if the pizza was any good (probably not), but when you've got a couple of pitchers on the table to share with friends, good tunes cranking on the jukebox and you're waiting for your shot with a pool cue in your hand, it may as well be the best pizza in the world.

    hedonist,

    back in iowa there could be a small town w/ just less than 500 residence. sure there could be a town 10-20 miles away w/ more people. if you are running a gas station deli, in a tiny ass town, it'd be in your best interest to have something decent. at least that's how i see it

    In my college town, we had a little place called Four Star Pizza.  They had what they called the General's Special - a general sized pizza (24" diameter), 20 wings, and a 2-liter for $16.  My roommates and I would order that a couple times a week.  It probably wasn't that great of pizza, but when you're a starving college kid and $4 gets you 4 or 5 giant slices, 5 wings, and some soda to wash it all down... you'd take the Pepsi challenge against Eric Repert any day.
