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. Just stop. 

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 

I will eat Chicago deep dish with a knife and fork... but only because it's not really pizza. It's just a casserole wrapped in a crust... almost a big pot pie filled with cheese.

Last night, I was about to fix up some Tilapia, mashed sweet potatoes, veg, when my lovely bursts through the door surprising me with pizza.

PIZZA!

What joy! It was like Christmas morning.

Awesome!

Folding Pizza -- yes, if it is greasy style, or if on the move.  Folding a big ass piece of pizza just feels right.

Knife & fork -- I will do this from time to time, depending on the type of pizza and what I am wearing while eating the pizza.  (If I dont feel like getting shit all over my suit I will use a knife and fork, especially.) 

Going to Mozza in LA with a few board members at the end of the month, will report back on what is meant to be quite a pizza.

I frequented a place that sounds similar to Chadwick's place he shared...also in a small town, also with stuff stashed.  The pizza was just OK but we would be drunk/high and we always ordered a pie.  Always - and would bust each other's chops about who ate more slices than the others....usually we ended up ordering another.

Said it before, will say it again -- Lou Malnati's should not be eaten.  (Unless you are on the You'll Shit Your Guts Out diet)

Had a piece of PB&J pizza at a "party" last night.
Damn, it was good.

That is what it sounds like?
They put peanut butter and jelly on a cheese pizza?


Interesting.

No sauce or cheese, just PB&J on a warm and fluffy crust.
Maybe not truly pizza to some people's standards, but delicious and as much a pizza as anything else that isn't Margherita.

"Dessert pizzas" can definitely be delicious.

No sauce or cheese....then it sounds good.  I love a good PB&J, and a pizza crust would make an excellent delivery vehicle.

That's not a damn pizza, that's a PB & J...

Now pass the milk.

I failed to mention the dessert calzone I had last night.

Nutella
Ricotta
Powdered sugar

Yum-o!

Was pizza night on Saturday with the family.  4 people, 5 pizzas.  (12 year old used the extra dough to make a mini pizza.)

I liked mine, but as I often do, I went too big on the cheese.
Used grated Parmesan, Asiago, and mozzarella.  Fresh buffalo mozzarella.
Some thinly sliced Prosciutto was the only thing added beyond the spices/oo put on the crust when laid out.
Basil added in last few minutes.
It was very tasty...

Incorrect way to add Basil...

In the pizzaiolo's defense--and I can't believe I'm defending a Masshole pizzaiolo--he did add the basil correctly. I watched, because I'm creepy like that. Closing the box and hoofing it home is why it looks wrong.

Dan watching the pizzaiolo?

I love pizza, I love pizza, I love pizza! Growing up we had homemade pizzas on Saturday right before Dance Fever, Solid Gold, and the Love Boat. I should make some of my own. What an inspiring thread!
