Hold, fold, or cut: Proper pizza procedures

by EPI Staff on August 13, 2010

Q: Please settle a debate about the proper way to eat pizza. Are a fork and knife necessary, or can you just use your hands?

A: It’s alright to pick up a slice because pizza is an informal food. The best way to eat it is to loosely fold a slice in half to keep the edges from dripping. That’s not to say silveware is forbidden. Use utensils if you prefer; they come in handy when you’re eating deep-dish pie.
