Let’s see if we can settle this square slice vs. regular slice pizza slice debate. Or at least quantify where people stand so we know how to order for our next pizza party.

BTW, that random letter ‘n’ above the poll is a little bug I’ve found in some combination of WP 2.5 and Democracy Poll 2.0.1.

    You used a pretty shoddy example of a square cut pizza. It may have an effect on your survey! I have a bunch of examples that look more tasty.

    Mmm… pizza.

    Aaron, I settled for that shot. I admit it. I looked pretty hard for a better shot and kept finding square shaped rather than square cut pizzas.

    Square-cut pizza has a couple of advantages that I can think of. First, the majority of pieces have no extra crust, letting you enjoy the cheesy, meaty goodness unimpeded. Second, square slices are generally smaller, so if you are in a situation with multiple types of pizza, you are free to try as many as you like without filling up to quickly.

    I tend to go with the regular cut pizza for the simple fact that the crust is a nice holding spot so your fingers do not get messy.

    Has the entire world gone mad? You must all have been educated stupid. Regular cut is the only way to go. I don’t want to consistently reach down and grab more pieces of pizza to feed my ravenous hunger. I want to grab 1/8 of a pizza at a time and consume it, like any sane person would.

    true that zelltron….I generally prefer regular to thin crust. It must be noted that its really a decision of crust thickness more than actual geometry. Generally thin crust cut square-regular crust cut pie style. Some asshats will cut a thick crust square but thats just retarded….might as well fold it over…wrap it in a taco…..dip it in breading….sew it together with bacon….oh well you get the idea…it aint right.

    I abstain from the vote. Sure there is a write-in option, but I have been burned by voting for the third party in the past. Paging Peter Hutchinson to the nearest pizzaria that cuts their pizzas into octagons.

    Actually, I think the type of cut in a pizza is one of many variables. The cheese to sauce to topping ratio, flavor of the sauce, speed of delivery, size of each topping (i.e. Parkway’s tomato slices are discs–not diced), and crust flavor are all more important.

    Debating slice shape is like debating which President would make the best fishing buddy.

    You’re all going to die from eating too much cheese.

    Okay, see, I wasn’t paying attention. When I voted for square-cut pizza, I was thinking of a square-shaped pizza. Cut into squares. Not a round pizza cut into squares.

    No, a round pizza must be cut into wedges and a square (or rectangular) pizza cut into squares.
