Answer 1

The correct etiquette for eating pizza is to use your hand. Grasp it at the crust end with your thumb on one edge and your fingers on the other, then fold it slightly so that it bends in the middle, kind of like a scoop. You then eat from the pointed end. This is the traditional Italian method and it's appropriate to do it this way when you are eating pizza in a restaurant. Eating pizza with a knife and fork is just not done, except by people who don't know any better.

Answer 2

I saw it written up in a pizza place, a PROPER pizza place runs by an Italian family "Pizza is always eaten by hand". Since then, I ALWAYS use my hand - even in restaurants.

I use a knife and fork only on rare occasions - when I have an overwhelming reason to do so (example... there are other meals to come and I would get my knife and fork all greasy from eating the pizza )

Answer 3

There's no "proper way" to eat pizza, many people like to eat it with a fork and knife, the others, the majority, prefer to use their hands. The advantage with the hands is that you can keep you slice hotter for more time due you eating faster than with server ware. So, enjoy your pizza in the way that you want and please you more. Have fun and enjoy. My way is with the hands.

Answer 4

It depends...
Sometimes, when I'm eating out, and I think its going to be messy... I use knife and fork...
BUT... not always... I definitely eat with my hand in Pizza California :D but use the fork to gather the toppings that have fell in my plate :D

AND... sometimes if the pizza is way too hot... n I can't hold it with my hands... I use knife and fork... cz a hot pizza is always better than a cold one :D

BUT... overall... hands is the way to go...

Answer 5

Eating pizza with a knife and fork is like eating a Snickers bar with a knife and fork. How much since does that make??? There is no proper way of eating pizza. You eat it whatever way seems best for you. Most people don't go all elegant and proper and use a knife and fork. Haha. That almost seems asenine to me, but then again... people have their own ways and I respect that!!!

Answer 6

in the US, just use your hands. If you're in Europe, always use a knife and a fork, unless you want to look like a moron. When in Rome, do as the Romans do
ETA: That only applies if you got a real Italian pizza- a whole, thin-crusted pizza that you are supposed to cut by yourself
If you got pizza by the slice, or if it's pre-sliced, just use your hands

Answer 7

It depends on your location. Eat in the manner that those around you are eating.

In several countries it is improper to place your hands on your food, so eating pizza with a knife and fork is absolutely necessary. It would be rude to pick it up with your hands.

In most areas of the U.S. I know that it is customary to eat with your hands, in the style of an open faced sandwich. Usually, knife and fork style eating of pizza is reserved for classy establishments and for societies with bare hand food eating restrictions.

The proper way to eat pizza is the way that those around you are eating the pizza. I believe the saying goes, "when in Rome, do as the Romans do".

Answer 8

With Hands

Answer 9

Since I consider pizza to be a finger food, I eat it with my hands.

Answer 10

Well, you can eat it by hand or by fork whatever you want as long as you you enjoy it and if you feel your hand is germs free do it by hand which is the right way and if not use something like clean napkin, fork... be sure it's clean as well,ok!
