Whether you’re hanging out with friends or having a date night, eating pizza is an ideal option. Not only can you experiment with new flavors and ingredients, but you can eat the pizza itself in different ways. If you’re on your way to your favorite pizza place, get creative with how you eat your slice.

3 Ways to Eat a Pizza

1. Choose Your Direction

A common choice is to fold the slice in half, making the two ends of the crust meet each other. Some people also start with the crust and work their way to the tip or eat it from the side. Try out a new direction — you may find that you prefer the change of pace.

2. Separate the Components

Some people enjoy breaking the pizza down into its more basic ingredients. For example, they prefer to eat the cheese first, and the bread last. Some people may like to pick off certain toppings and eat them by themselves, leaving the rest on the pizza. Others eat a few slices and set the crust aside to polish off with a few dips in marinara sauce later. 

3. Use Tools

Most pizza places give you the option of using knives and forks. Although pizza is often eaten by hand, it’s perfectly acceptable to eat it with utensils if you want to keep your hands clean. If you’re with small children, it may be helpful to cut the pizza into bite-sized pieces for them as well.
