I really wish I had taken more pictures specifically regarding this topic while I was in Regensburg (*brief sobbing moment regarding past tense of the sentence*), but we'll just make do.
In Europe, aside from flavor, there are two other distinguished differences between the pizza there and the pizza in America - 1) It is much thinner, and 2) It is typically served uncut.
When going out with friends to one of the 203502395 Italian restaurants in Regensburg, I would always notice how differently everyone cuts his or her pizza.
- There's me, hacking in long, broad slices and then into bite-sized pieces, maintaining a fairly evenly distributed offensive front from my side of the pizza.
- There's the Hack Straight Into The Middle And Work Your Way Out.
- There's Radial Triangle Slicing, more frequently seen in some of my American friends, for obvious reasons (or for those of you who don't live in America, American pizza is always served sliced radially in typically 6-10 slices, depending on pizza size).
- There's the Alien Parasite Breaking Into The Barrier At One Point And Eating Out The Innards From There, Leaving The Crust.
- There's Chaotic Random Hack-At-Will, Which Bothers The Author Of This Blog A Lot.
- And I've even seen, Holy Heavens, This Pizza Is Huge, I Must Fold In Half And Hack From The Back If I Am To Conquer.
- etc. etc. etc.
Ah, so many different varieties. How I only wish I had taken pictures!
I just have this feeling that the way you eat your pizza reflects your personality, which is why I am so personally fascinated by this. If you don't believe me, just humor me.

I think the funniest way I've ever seen someone eat their pizza is when Aubrey makes a full size pizza and then proceeds to pick the whole thing up and start eating from one end. Like you would a slice of pizza. But with a huge circle.
it took me about this long to realize the title was a pun.
