how do you get slices?

In italy you just get the pizza, and then you choose who you wanna piss off. Some people just fold it in half, some people use a knife and fork. Some people will carve out little slices. It doesnt really matter because ita just bread cheese and tomato sauce. Just eat the loving pizza and move on with your life who cares?

NY style is better anyways.

No one in Italy ever gets a pizza and folds it in half, except I guess the person who first invented the calzone. I did get a little lol imagining someone getting a pizza and folding it in half.

Pizzas in Italy also never come cut into slices, since that is considered barbaric for some reason, even though everyone always cuts a pizza the same exact way, so I never quite got why it matters if it’s precut. But they definitely have weird cultural nonsense about how to eat a pizza. Who cares if someone uses a fork and knife? Maybe they don’t want to get oily fingers or whatever.

Pizza has a big dry bread part that it's easy to grab onto like a sandwich (assuming nobody's drenched the whole thing in bullshit). Knife and fork are superfluous in that case, eating with your hands is the easiest and most optimal position. Knifing your way through the crust sounds like a hassle anyways.

The whole "folding" thing sounds confusing to some people though because it's only a relevant technique for extra-big floppy New York City slices. Keeping the thing creased down the center keeps it stiff and stops it drooping down. You're not rolling the whole thing up like a burrito.

I know this has been pointed out before but most people don't just do a Google search for a dish when they're wanting to order it in. Only a tourist or someone visiting for other reasons would do that.

Yeah I don’t quite get that either. I haven’t seen someone older than eight - and a picky eight year old - order a plain cheese pizza. I mean it’s fine but it’s like the pizza equivalent of getting a PB&J. PB&J’s are tasty but I wouldn’t order one at a restaurant. To be generous maybe "cheese" includes Quattro formaggi and buffala.

Also BBQ chicken is delicious on a pizza - you should try it. Ranch on the other hand is ????

I’ve had a chipotle ranch-based pizza that was pretty dang good. The chipotle and spicy toppings cut the double helping of creamy dairy. But you can eat like 1/4 of what you would a normal pizza bc it’s just too rich, feels like you’re drinking olive oil

Just stick some banana and frozen peas on it, it'll be good. Or kebab and salad.

Or gently caress it, just do Nutella instead of tomato and use nuts and marshmallows.

There's a lot of people under eight out there. Cheese is also the cheaper option, but doesn't require you to figure out a clutch.

The way statistics break down will usually favor the simpler options, because with more complex pizza toppings you'll get things like meat lovers' being the spoiler to pepperoni, because even though both groups may prefer having pepperoni over just cheese, the pepperoni likers will be split. People who like variety in general will also split themselves between many more types of pizza, leaving themselves vulnerable to being outnumbered without some kind of ranked-choice pizza-liking system to show the complexity of popular opinion and overcome the injustice of the pizzoral college, especially in places with large amounts of people and cuisines to diffuse the more interesting pizza varieties; conversely it means places where something like taco pizza is most popular over more normal pizzas are just extra freaky.

Assuming there's any kind of good methodology to the map, which usually there isn't.

Ohhh, yeah that's got to be it. I guess pretty much every one of those types of maps has some stupid basic misleading statistical issue, like "favorite porn search" or "fetish most specific to a state".

Not in the US; not sure I've ever seen it in Europe, and it is one of my favorite pizza styles -- although possibly because I just don't see it very often. Normally BBQ chicken only applies to the topping -- so it's a normal pizza with tomato sauce and cheese, and then the topping is grilled chicken in some type of bbq sauce, almost always a sweet, thick/sticky BBQ sauce. If you had it in Europe, it's possible something just got lost in translation and you had an ersatz BBQ chicken pizza by someone whose only knowledge of American pizza types was that they saw it mentioned in a sitcom once.
