How to eat a pizza. Years ago NY major De Blasio ate a pizza with fork and knife, a scandal for someone. Around the question the debate revolved for years, and still does, also here in pizza’s homeland. He, eats entire pizza without touching it, using fork and knife. She, uses cutlery for the first slice, than uses her hands for the others.
The real problem may be elsewhere. Pizza is separated in two phases: center and surrounding, the latter being called “il cornicione”, the big cornice. Many people use this “cornicione” as a simple handle, to eat the center, and leave the “cornicione”, when it becomes cold. Who treats his pizza with cutlery often starts eating the cornicione, before it gets cold, than faces the center. He thinks this is the most respectful and respectable approach.
