Apparently unknowingly finding myself in a debate about pizza is becoming a common occurrence for me, although I find this certain controversy to be quite tiring. The question proposed to me today is: should pizza be triangular or square?
For this blog, I think it’s important to look at the pros of both options:
Cutting your pizza into triangles is the widely appreciated traditional way of eating a pizza. The method is simple and guarantees pieces of uniform shapes and sizes – something that’s not as easy with square slices. Also – considering most pizzas come in circular shapes – its geometrically easier to cute a pizza into triangles (using a pizza cutter) than specifically carving our squares. Greater efficacy means a greater pizza eating experience.
Alternatively, the square method. This method is widely frowned upon by many members of society due to it’s ignorance of all tradition and culture that comes with eating pizza, however that’s not to say that it is necessarily wrong. A large proportion of society, such as myself, very much enjoy eating their pizza crusts. Cutting pizza pieces into squares gives your pizza a better pizza-crust ratio. Additionally, square pieces tend to be cut into smaller pieces, which makes for a perfect snack or an excuse to eat a little more without feeling guilty. Additionally, it’s also worth mentioning that some pizza’s are made into squares to begin with. In these cases it would be pointless cutting the slices into triangles, so squares just make sense.
I personally preference triangle slices, however, overall, how you eat your pizza is very much based off personal preference as long as you have arguments to back up your choice.
