    Fun fact: no italian has ever ate pizza with a fork and knife. The only time when these 3 things should be togheter is when cutting the pizza (surprisingly, pizza cutters are fairly uncommon ).

    If you see an “italian” eating pizza with a fork, they arent italian, they are sicilian

      I am Italian. It’s relatively common to see people eating pizza with fork and knife.

      You’d for sure never see a “Giovanni Agnelli” type of person eating pizza with hands. They don’t mix with plebs…

      But also a plebeian like me eats pizza with fork and knife sometimes, it’s pretty normal, nobody judges. Depends on the mood for me.

      But galateo (italian etiquette) prescribes fork and knife https://www.lacucinaitaliana.it/news/cucina/come-mangiare-la-pizza-mani-o-posate/

          I am pretty sure the “signora bene dei parioli” uses silver cutlery to eat pizza
