How to eat pizza properly and when to use a fork and knife: etiquette expert answer

Almost all people love pizza and enjoy eating it with their hands. It is believed that this is the right way to eat pizza, no matter what the toppings are.

But can you eat pizza with cutlery? William Hanson, director of etiquette coaching at The English Manner, explained this in his interview with Mirror.

In a conversation with a correspondent, Hanson said that pizza is really designed to be eaten with your hands only. To do this, each piece of pizza is taken with clean hands and the crust is folded in the middle. And if, as a result of this action, the piece becomes too soft, it can be supported by the second hand.

However, according to Hanson, pizza toppings have changed so much lately that you can see large, heavy pieces of meat or even a whole egg on it. In this case, if the pizza topping does not allow you to separate and easily lift a piece, you can use a knife and fork.

In addition, the expert told us how to eat the world-famous "deep-dish" pizza of Chicago. Hansen states that this type of pizza should be eaten with cutlery.
