| Sep 28, 2020 at 7:48 | comment | added | Chris H | @Daron yes I wasn't suggesting taking the scissors to the table (though I often eat pizza alone - which sounds sadder than it is), but whether pizza is a finger food or a knife-and-fork food depends on the setting | |

| Sep 27, 2020 at 20:13 | comment | added | Daron | @ChrisH I use the scissors before serving. Eating with a scissors at the table would be outrageous. Not least what do you put in your non-scissors hand? | |
| Sep 27, 2020 at 19:55 | comment | added | Chris H | @Daron I've used poultry shears before, but eating with a knife and fork is conventional, even for pizza | |
| Sep 27, 2020 at 19:38 | comment | added | Daron | I usually find the scissors is the best way to cut up a pizza. | |

In some European countries (e.g. Italy, France, sometimes in the UK) pizza is often served unsliced, and the eater is given a sharp knife and a fork. The same knife may be used as a steak knife. I have a pair of micro-serrated kitchen knives that make excellent steak and pizza knives, though they're at the large end of what would normally be provided. | |
