Pizza Slicing Tips & Facts
- Sharp Tools Matter: Use a sharp pizza cutter or large knife for clean, even cuts through crust and toppings.
- Cut from Center: Always start cuts from the center point for equal-sized slices.
- Let It Rest: Wait 2-3 minutes after baking before slicing to prevent toppings from sliding off.
- Thin Crust = More Slices: Thin crust pizzas can be cut into more slices than thick crust.
- Deep Dish Exception: Chicago-style deep dish is typically cut into squares or rectangles, not triangles.
- Average Consumption: Adults typically eat 2-3 slices, teens 3-4 slices, kids 1-2 slices.
- Party Planning: For parties, cut pizzas into smaller slices (12-16) so guests can sample varieties.
- Leftover Storage: Store leftover slices in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
