Let's pretend for a moment that this pizza was good (which it really wasn't). Let's suppose it had my favorite topping (I like mushrooms, but they ain't it). Let's also imagine that they included those wonderful little hot peppers with the pizza that are so enjoyable (which they didn't).Even in this wonderful fairyland, something is amiss.
Look at this pizza. Notice the strange horizontal and vertical markings across the pizza. These are "slices" into the pizza.
Now, could someone explain to me why someone would take a perfectly good, ROUND, pizza and decide to cut it into SQUARE slices??? Some art nouveau thing? A commentary of our society forcing people into their small cubicles? Some pizza maker who likes to buck the norm and "take it to the next level".
Pizzas are round. They should be in slices. Like pie. If you want square pieces, all laws of decency and sanity state that you must make a square (I believe it is called Sicilian style) pizza. Otherwise you have pieces with lots of crust, no crust, a little crust. It is insanity. To paraphrase Walter: "This isn't 'nam. There are rules"
Please, someone teach these people how to make a pizza and end this cruelty. I think I'm going to be sick.

THANK YOU!
We went to Cambridge 1, a new "gourmet pizza" place right near our apartment the other night. The pizzas were good and definitely had interesting toppings (sorrel with chevre, anyone?), but all the pies were cut this way. Not only that, but they weren't perfectly round; they were OVALS. This meant that there were 4 very large, topping-loaded slices in the middle, and 4 very small, mostly topping-less slices on the outside. Fine and good if you are splitting a single pie with one other person. Try going with 6 people and splitting a bunch of pies. You'd have to be an anal-retentive Nazi to ensure everyone got the appropriate percentage of pizza.
Squares are fair, neat and nice,
But a triangle's the only shape for a slice.
