Some of the comments are cracking me up. Clearly Italian pizza and they’re not in the US. Some comments “those are well done and are you using a fork”. More than 1 way to have pizza.

One thing I can’t get over in Italy is it’s standard to order your own pizza and it’s a lot of food!

Can I ask what do you means by that? Just the fact that we eat the whole thing instead of individual slices?

Yeah the size of pizza in the image is what I’ve always had in Italy. It felt like too much for me to eat in a meal. But when I get a pasta dish in Italy it’s always a reasonable amount or slightly too small.

The US is opposite. A personal pizza is almost too small, then portions of pasta are always massive!

Yeah, it’s cause pizza is a whole meal, while pasta is a first course, so you’re supposed to have a second one, say meat.

Bruh, I need some more Italian friends to explain this prior. Been to Italy twice and it seems I’ve been doing it all wrong! Either way I’ve never gone hungry in Italian with all the amazing food.

Lol, also there’s no problem if you realize the dish is too small as a main course and decide to order something else. It will take longer to prepare and you’ll have to wait, but they’ll be happy to do it. Restaurants cost more than pizzerias for obvious reasons, but usually a reliable way to tell if a dish will be enough is by the price. Tho it depends how expensive the place is

Unpopular opinion as a person who loves both fancy and trashy food - if you serve me a pizza and I’m expected to cut it with a knife and fork I will be pissed off and never order pizza from you again. We both know what a slice of pizza should look like, it will always be a shitty sloppy mess making me cut it myself just use the pizza cutter and get your head out of your ass full stop
