    Now, if he’d avoid stepping on the gaps between floor tiles, I’d sympathize. Horrible, unspeakable THINGS might happen if you’re stepping on them. But this is just weird.

    I fully support this strategy, can’t believe I never considered it myself. I will have to carefully suggest it to my wife who will NOT approve of this mutilation of one of her glorious pizzas.

    No he’s doing that because he is a demon. LOOK at that slice at 12-o-clock. That’s not avoiding the pepperoni that is malediction against society

    I get it. The pizza slicer pushes pepperoni and other toppings down which smushes the cheese and sauce out the size, then you have an uneven distribution of cheese/sauce. So either you have an uneven distribution of pepperoni, an uneven distribution of cheese/sauce, or you spend a great deal of time placing your pepperoni so that they’re perfectly positioned away from your cut lines.

      Yeah, if you use an inferior tool you get inferior results. Using scissors is the only correct way to cut a pizza.

        …I want to say that you’re wrong, but I don’t have enough experience with scissors on pizza to dispute it.

          This sounds insane, and I used to think so as well until my ex did just that in front of me one day and then I tried it the next time I cooked a pizza at home. 1000% a better tool than a pizza cutter wheel. I’m a convert.

        I’ve seen those scissor/spatula combos online, seems like a great option.

        Edit: someone out there strongly disagrees

      If you use a large knife to cut the pizza you don’t have this problem.

      Does it take that long to move them?
      I just take the back edge of a knife hold it over each of the 6 lines ill be cutting as a guide, and pull any of the pepperoni on the line one way of the other. Take like 5 seconds.

    I almost want to do this. If you don’t slice that pepperoni the first time it grabs it’s buddy Cheese and they both go on a trip all over the damn place.

      You should either cut it better or start considering using a different cheese (or better, just use mozzarella as it was intended), ask to the pizzeria/shop if you buy it

        Not all mozzarella is created equal. The best pizza cheese I’ve found in the US is Boar’s Head mozzerella. Nothing else melts right or holds up to the 550° oven like this one. I just get the deli to take a knife to the chub to cut off a block for easier shredding.

    Tell him the amount of pepperoni on each slice is not balanced.

      It might be, we can see:

      3 slices with 5

      2 slices with 3

      1 slice with 4

      They seem to be intentionally cut to have this amount of pepperoni, the last two slices might have 5 and 4 pieces of pepperoni making for:

      4 slices of 5

      2 slices of 3

      2 slices of 4

    The only problem I see is different slices have different numbers of pepperoni and different lengths of crust.

    But if you want straight cuts, a sharp cleaver does the best job.

      Same. Sometimes they’re all in one section as well so I make sure to distribute them evenly. I also add another layer of mozzarella before baking.

      This right here is a diagnosis. I’m not sure for what, but you’ve got a lot of something.
