How Your Pizza-Eating Style Reflects Your Personality!!

Nothing beats a fresh gooey piece of pizza. Di you know that an average of 46 slices of pizza are eaten per person each year. Have you ever thought about the many different ways that a pizza can be eaten? According to Giordano's, they way you eat your pizza can say a lot about you. So let's dig in and find out what your pizza eating style says about your personality.

Are you Straight Forward? - Tip to Crust

How It Works: This method of eating pizza involves picking up the slice with your bare hands. It’s okay — everyone else is doing it. Your hands may get a little messy, but that’s what your jeans or for — or a napkin if you prefer a more civilized approach to cleanup. With the tip pointed toward you, start taking bites until you reach the crusty end of the piece.

What This Method Says About Your Personality: You know what works, and you refuse to mess with tradition. You know what to expect when you pick up your favorite type of pizza. You probably order the same toppings each time, because, again, you know what you like and what works, so why mess with your order? That same sense of familiarity likely transfers to other areas of your life. You like your routine, and you like to stick with methods and experiences that work.

Crust First Method

How It Works: Hold the slice of pizza in your hand. Flip it around, and bite into the thick, fluffy crust. Once the crust is gone, finish the rest of the pizza slice. Wipe off the extra pizza debris from your hands.

What This Method Says About Your Personality: Eating the crust first shows you do your own thing. You know others start at the cheesy point first, saving the crust for last, but you won’t give in to those societal norms. You like to rebel, and you don’t care who sees you. It could also mean the cheese is too hot or you like the crust least of all and want to get rid of it first to savor the cheesy topping portion last, but you can still wear that rebel badge proudly. Rebellious methods can be observed in other areas of your life. You are considered an influencer. You like the spotlight. Dare we suggest you may have a flair for the dramatic with a booming voice that demands attention.

Fold It Over & Eat It Method

How It Works: Pizza eaters using this method pick up a slice of pizza as they would for a normal approach. Instead of eating it right away, they fold the sides upward and together to trap the toppings inside, leaving the bottom crust exposed on either side.

What This Method Says About Your Personality: You can handle more than one task at a time. You know how to be efficient, and you also know how to stay clean. You may miss some of the subtle flavor nuances by smashing the toppings together inside the crust, but that’s okay, because you are built for efficiency and multitasking. You multitask when you have a slice of pizza folded between your hands, and you take charge and multitask in other aspects of your life as well. You like things fast paced. You might get bored easily when you don’t have plenty of things to keep your hands busy. You’re not afraid to take charge of a situation and get things done.

Inside Out Folding Method

How It Works: Hold the pizza slice in your hand. Fold it in half lengthwise by bringing the edges together with the toppings on the outside of the folded slice.

What This Method Says About Your Personality: You are trendy and not afraid to try something new. You want to experience the full flavor of life head on. You aren’t afraid to get a little messy in the pursuit of the finer things in life. You don’t mind people looking at you a little funny. After all, people are likely to stare if you eat your pizza folded with the toppings out.

Rolling Method

How It Works: Simply roll the pizza from the crust end to the tip with the toppings toward the inside of the roll. This method is similar to the folding method in that the crust forms the outside of the slice once rolled. Once rolled, start at one end of the roll and work your way to the other side. Keep the roll as flat as possible to prevent lost toppings out the end.

What This Method Says About Your Personality: You like to come up with new ways to do things. Traditional methods may work, but why go the boring route? You also like to do things as efficiently as possible. It may take both hands to support the rolled pizza slice, but you can finish off that slice much faster in a roll.

Cut With A Fork & Knife Method

How It Works: This method of eating pizza requires a little more gear. You need a sturdy plate, a knife and a fork. Like cutting a steak, the fork is used to stabilize the pizza, while the knife cuts through the layers of cheese, toppings and crust. Using the fork, you delicately enjoy one cut piece at a time.

What This Method Says About Your Personality: Using a fork and knife shows that you have the patience to eat your pizza carefully. You want to savor each individual bite, rather than shove it all in at once. You don’t like to get messy, and you don’t want to lose any delicious toppings. The 10-second rule does not apply in busy pizza restaurants —you’re no savage. Eating with utensils saves you from losing delicious toppings. Eating pizza with a knife and fork also means you like to stick to tradition. You feel comfortable with a knife and fork in hand, and you don’t intend to give up that method of eating, even for pizza. You’re probably as careful and polite in other daily pursuits. You likely approach each task with a systematic plan.

Double Decker Method

How It Works: Place one piece of pizza directly on top of another slice. Proceed to eat the crust-sauce-toppings-crust-sauce-toppings layered pattern as you would any other pizza. If you want less mess, you can flip one slice of pizza upside down, so the toppings point inward on both slices, creating a sort of pizza sandwich with the crusts forming the top and bottom.

What This Method Says About Your Personality: You don’t mess around. You don’t have time to eat individual slices. You need a hot melty pie in your mouth right when you want it. You are efficient, packing away twice the pizza in the same amount of time as your lesser counterparts. Or maybe it simply means you prefer a thicker pizza, while the one in charge of ordering prefers thin crust. Whatever the case, you aren’t afraid of a challenge and you know how to problem solve. You are efficient in everything you do, often finding ways to simplify or speed up everyday tasks.

Save The Crust For Later Method

How It Works: You eat the main part of the pizza slice as you would, nibbling all the way to the edge crust, where you stop. The crust either sits on your plate until you decide to eat it, gets dunked into sauce or gets tossed in the trash.

What This Method Says About Your Personality: You like to squeeze every bit of pleasure out of life. You’re not afraid to get creative to improve things, including the taste of the pizza crust. If you abandon the crust completely, you’re the type of person who knows what you like, and you aim to achieve it.

Seperate Toppings From The Crust Method

How It Works: You peel off the top layer of gooey cheese and toppings before eating.Some people eat both parts separately. Others pick some of the toppings off before replacing the rest of the toppings back on the crust. Others eat only the toppings or only the crust.

What This Method Says About Your Personality: You’re a picky eater, or you know what you like. Perhaps you don’t want to get bogged down by a heavy crust. Perhaps you lost the toppings selection battle, so now you’re stuck peeling off the things you don’t like. Either way, you know what you like and you’re not afraid to personalize your pizza-eating experience. You enjoy the pleasures of life and don’t want to ruin your pizza experience with the parts you don’t enjoy. You also aren’t afraid to work to get what you want.

If anyone cares to know, I perfer the Mix It Up Method of eating Pizza. I am a cross between being Straight Forward & Cut It With A Fork and Knife. My perferred eating style seems to depend on my mood. I like routine, but I also approach everything with a systematic plan.
