What difference does the cut of a pizza make? It should all taste the same.

I don't think Domino's like cutting their pizza that way because I requested that way 3 times and it came here not in Squares.

I never knew pizza was cut into triangles until I moved out of Chicago.

Around here they pretty much do it both ways. I kind of like the triangle way better...

There are two types of Pizza, which in Italian means pie, so when you ask for a slice of Pizza pie, you are really asking for pie, pie. Same as A.C. current. A.C. stands for alternating current, so you are saying alternating current, current. Any way, the tradional round originated in Naples and is called Neopolitian style. Square style originated further south in Sicily, and is called Sicilian when you order it. In N.Y.C. the "Litttle Italy section is mostly Sicilian and the parlors mostly serve Sicilian style. The cooking is quite different also, with Sicilian using Garlic which I love.

Me too. Triangle pizza is more regal, imo.

EmoJoe · 07-08-2006, 09:26 PM

I first learned about the Square Pizza from "Little Ceasars" in the early 90's

Yep, square pieces are definitely a Chicago thing.

I remember when I was in Virginia visiting my aunt and cousins a few years ago, who are also originally from Chicago. We had been talking about Chicago style pizza, and so we decided to order a pizza and were asking if they could cut the pieces into squares instead of triangles. It took about 15 minutes to finally get them to understand wtf we were even talking about.
