Cultures clash where crusts converge, and so does opinion, it seems, on the sacred shapes of pizza.
Societies slice on the bias, but I find squares a crust above triangles, given the surface area for toppings is maximized, not marginalized.
In the geometry of taste, a triangle is a slice of compromise, whereas squares serve the toppings with a certain, undeniable fairness, no angle unturned.
But perhaps the circle is the truest form, for in its curves, we find a unity that transcends the fractured debate, a pie in the sky that reminds us it's all just a slice of life.
I saw a documentary on pasta and pie cutting. They went to Italy. Italians cut pizza in squares.
In Japan they cut pizza in triangles. With scissors. They use really big scissors.
Some people in America cut pizza in triangles. Others cut in squares. One guy cuts in circles. He uses a pipe cutter.
The documentary ended with a shot of a pizza cut in a hexagon. No one knows who did it.
Pizza cuts like a secret handshake between crust and sauce—triangles, squares, shards of geometry, a neon sign flickering, a chef’s knife juggling, a street vendor’s grin, and the documentary’s lens swooping past Naples, New York, Tokyo, where pasta ribbons twirl, pies split like fireworks
