It's nice when we eat the food we have according to what is comfortable for us. I was eating pizza today and as always, I use the fork and knife.This is the way I'm comfortable with.And then, on the other table I saw some people eating their pizza using their hands and just like me, they are enjoying their pizza too just like me. So it made me curious of what people prefer when eating pizza.Is it by using fork or mainly by hand? I'll appreciate your thoughts regarding this. Enjoy!

It depends on if we're talking Chicago deep dish or a New York style with a thinner crust. I go knife and fork on deep dish pizzas. That way I can scoop up all of the toppings. With a thinner crust I use my hands and suffer the consequences (stains on my shirt and blisters on the roof of my mouth). At the end of the day, though it's your choice. Pizza is all about happy, not manners!

You have a descriptive consequence with having it by hand batcountry (smiles).I'm referring to the stains you mentioned and especially the blisters on the mouth after taking more bite of the pizza.

I do rpefer to eat with my hands, it's just so comfey and natural even though I completley mess my hands xD But when I do go to a sort of fine diner and they have pizza, I eat with a fork and knife just to be polite.

Hi universe!That's right, the place matters too when we eat and also the people around as. That has to be taken into consideration during meals.

Well, it depends.. When i am at home, i usually eat the pizza using my hands.. it's more comfortable compared to using fork... whilst when i am dining at a pizza parlor, i opt to use the fork so i won't mess my hands... sometimes, i use the table napkin to hold the pizza..

Hello there. Exactly, the place would also matter on wether to use eat it directly by hand or by the aid of fork and knife.

I sometimes use a fork and knife to eat my pizza if the slice is to big to hold in my hand. I find its easier to eat the pizza that way. If the slice is small enough then I will eat holding it in my hand. I think I enjoy the pizza more when using a fork and knife though.

If you're used to that way of having pizza then continue on and feel more comfortable.

It depends really. If the pizza is bursting with toppings, and the act of picking it up results in a food avalanche, I will use a knife and fork and cut it up. But usually, I just eat pizza with my hands as I have always ate pizza this way and it just feels normal to me

Wherever you may feel comfortable then it surely is the best to be done so as to enjoy every bite of your pizza MrKennedy.

I usually go either way and the decision usually depends on the size of the slice. I usually use the knife and fork in order to decrease the chance of me burning the roof my mouth with the hot cheese. I don't mind eating with my hands, but that is usually a cause for pain.

I agree with you. Directly having a bite of the pizza could indeed cause some pain in the mouth due to it's hard crust. So, I'll stick with the help of the fork and my knife.

It really depends on were I eat pizza. If Im at a Pizza House like, PizzaHut,Shakey's or Yellow Cab, I tend to eat with fork and knife. Maybe because I dont want to get messy in front of many other people. But if i just had the pizza delivered at my place, then I rather eat it with my hands.

I think pizza is considered finger food! It's is totally acceptable to eat pizza with your hands! I know very few people who use their fork but I don't suppose there's anything wrong with either way!

i appreciated pizza a lot if i use my hand. i can also taste pizza better coz i can bite big or small as i can than just by pork where you need to slice it. i guess pizza can be eaten by hands i dont know why other people use fork to eat pizza, if they dont want their hands to be messy then they can use tissue or wash their hands before and after.

Hello homeshoppers! For me the reason why I have it by fork is that I don't want to be messy both my hands and around the sides of my mouth as I take a bite.So the fork basically controls the right bite size. You're right at that, we could wipe or wash our hands after but maybe we just don't want the messy feeling while eating.
My hands of course.
Why dirty your cutlery, if you only have to wash yur hands. TATA.

I eat my pizza by using my hands. I think this way is convenient for me.

i always eat with my hands on most of the times and pizza will be no exception to that . i may use a knife only to cut the pieces and then i will for sure eat with only my hands . i think we should eat in the way in which we are comfortable and we should not worry about others in this thing . eating in hand is comnfortable for me and i will do it .

I usually eat pizza with a knife and fork just to slow it down. I eat fast anyway and if I eat pizza with my hands it is gone in no time and I end up eating more.

Most of the time I eat pizza with my hands but sometimes you get a GREAT pizza that you cant eat it with your hands b/c half the toppings are falling off then I go grad a fork.
