If you're still on the fence about using a knife and fork to eat your pizza, website Thrillist has some info that might just change your mind. In fact, we have to admit that their argument for this method is pretty convincing!
By contrast, using a knife and fork slows the whole process down and forces you to focus a bit more on the pizza itself. Each bite becomes more deliberate, allowing you to appreciate more subtle flavors than you otherwise might if you just folded the slice into a pizza sandwich — and while that sounds like the best sandwich ever, it's completely beside the point.
Another added bonus is, instead of inhaling half a pie in 10 minutes, you might find yourself feeling full halfway through your second slice. Advocating for eating less pizza isn't something I ever thought I'd do, and I feel dirty even suggesting it, but let's be honest: the goal of eating pizza isn't to eat a TON of pizza, it's to eat pizza till you're satisfied. The difference can be subtle, but it's there.
There are practical reasons to use a knife and fork, too. If you've gone topping-mad, a slice can become nigh impossible to eat with your hands, making cutlery a necessity (unless you like pulling chunks of tomato and sausage from your shirt). Also, hot pizza grease has an unfortunate tendency to run everywhere and ruin everything in its path — unless you're using a fork, in which case you can contain the flow and ensure every part of the pizza ends up right where it belongs: in your greedy gullet.
We know this method isn't quite as fun as eating pizza with your hands. After all, one great thing about pizza is that it's easy to eat while watching the game or enjoying a movie with friends. However, we don't like the grease stains we sometimes get on our clothes, so we're definitely going to give this a shot!
