You visit a 'gourmet pizzeria' and given a table.
Upon looking around, you see the etiquette here appears to be cutting the pizza with a fork and knife, and eating it this way.
Your pizza arrives. Will you follow expectation and cut the pie, or will you break all conventions and pick up that bad boy?

>> No.15600326

>>15600291
It depends. I'm a horribly messy eater so if it looks like I don't stand a chance, I'm eating it like everyone else with a fork and knife. But anything even remotely capable of being picked up is getting picked up. I might also grab the fork and knife if the first bite makes all the cheese pull off because its shitty "gourmet" pizza.

"Gourmet pizza" defeats the purpose of pizza, and I'd never be caught dead in such a place. Imagine not being able to make actual gourmet food, so you throw some "exotic" ingredients, like arugula, on a fucking pizza and hope your flyover customer base takes the bait.

Helps to pin the slice down while using the knife, at least I use it instinctively so. Plus if the topping slides off and you don't want to use your hands to pick up a wet piece of cheese.

I've eaten at a 'gourmet' place twice in my life, both times were stiff and unpleasant and the food was definitely not worth the price tag

the first place I went the waiter (or whatever fancy word they call themselves to pretend they aren't waiters) took my napkin off the table and put it in my lap twice and asked me to not hold my wine glass a certain way (I can't remember how I was holding it or what the correct way to hold it is because I don't give a shit). I can't imagine why anyone would pay a premium to have the fucking wait staff tell you how to eat your food. Like I get the restaurant is trying to maintain it's exclusive atmosphere or whatever and doesn't want pleb money ruining the dining experience of their whales, but if I had the kind of money these places a courting I wouldn't put up with that shit for half a second and just go find somewhere else to eat.

No, because it came in a state where you could eat it with your hands. Normally when you order Napoli pizza it will come whole, and you will have to use table cutlery to cut it up. And if you have things like stracciatella (very wet, paste-like consistency), you will use the utensils to move the ingredients around evenly and to get some on each slice.

>pizza al portafoglio
What's the point? I only care to go out to eat pizza outside if it is at the table. If I am really lazy and can't be arsed, I might take takeout from a place nearby and bring it back home. I generally don't like ordering food for take-out. If I go out it is to be somewhere nice for a long time and to see my friends, family, etc. The usual, normalfaggot thing. Times I do eat on the go is bakery bread typically.

>Modern pizza evolved from similar flatbread dishes in Naples, Italy, in the 18th or early 19th century. The word pizza was first documented in A.D. 997 in Gaeta and successively in different parts of Central and Southern Italy. Pizza was mainly eaten in Italy and by emigrants from there.

If you're talking about Neapolitan pizza, it arrives uncut and is not good for picking up, you have to fork and knife it. It just would be too messy and it's not sliced anyway.

That looks better since the basil isn't all wilted, I'd eat OP pizza too, but that looks better.

I roll it (it is a small pizza, for american standards) and eat it like a wrap, I let out LOUD oinks of approval and I ask when is the main dish coming.
