If wine is the nectar of the gods then pizza is what they use to line their stomachs, of that I am 100% convinced. I’m not that ‘too polite to eat the last slice’ kind of person either, you leave it there and I’m going to snap it up. Pizza, I’m a pretty big fan.

Whether it’s a quiet night in (brought on by Eskom maybe?) or the start to a bit of a bender you can’t really go wrong. Someone in this office might have even had pizza for lunch, we’re not judging.

So there, we love the stuff, but just how you choose to shovel that cheesy delight into your mouth may say more about you than you think. Here are the four most common eating techniques and what that says about you, the list below courtesy of Cosmo:

You fold it

You’re likely a driver, as those who eat their pizza this way don’t mess around or “waste time” savouring the different flavours in a slice. They just want to get their pizza down, and finish their meal the fastest. And since drivers don’t necessarily care about following the rules…you’re not afraid to find whatever method is actually the best. You’re a take charge kind of person, so just go ahead and tell us which pizza joint to meet you at—we know you’ve got the best pick of the pack.

You eat the crust first

…it’s true—you really do exist. And those who dig in crust first like to be different; they like to set trends and tell people this is what’s up. If that’s how you identify, then you’re an influencer. You like to be dramatic, often talk loudly, and love getting attention through your actions—even better if a little admiration comes with it. You’re not afraid to say something is cool before the rest of the internet thinks it is, because hello, then you can take all the credit.

You fork and knife it

I would just like to add that unless you are dining with royalty this is almost inexcusable. It’s pizza, if you angle it right it pretty much slides into your mouth and you don’t have to chew. But here’s Cosmo’s take:

You’re a very steady and stable person, the kind of friend everyone needs in their life. You’d make sure everyone has a slice before you grab your own… and, because you’re so system-oriented, you can bet you like routine.

You straight up bite it

No frills or fancy eating methods required here, which makes you a careful corrector. You like to go with what you know works so that you’re certain to get it right every time. That also means you’re not one to take pizza eating very lightly, and your perfectionist tendencies aren’t afraid to come out, either.

So you’re basically that kind of person who takes on the role of internet grammar police? Sheesh, perhaps the fork and knife person isn’t so bad.

I would like to add a fifth style to this list, if I may.  You scoff it down as quickly as possible so that no one else dare ask you for a slice – congratulations, you’re me. There’s still the chance someone else might leave a slice or two of theirs in the fridge for the next morning, you know it only appreciates in value overnight.

Then there’s the whole debate about where you should be getting those pizzas from. We’re not going to wade in on that one, you know where we stand.

Long live the cheesy, doughy, delightful treat and all of us who love it.
