The correct way to eat a Neapolitan pizza, with a thin stone-baked crust, is to fold a slice in half.
Some even go a step further and fold the whole pizza in four like a wallet, as seen below.
“We`ve grown up to think pizza is a thing that you slice into perfect segments, pull a slice away by the crust and pick it up and put it in your mouth - like a bit of cardboard - and post it into your mouth,” Jim Morgan, the co-owner of Rudy’s Neapolitan Pizza in Manchester told the Manchester Evening News.
The correct way to eat pizza is such a touchy subject in New York, where there is a large diaspora Italian community, that politicians can find themselves in hot water if they use a knife and fork.
In 2011, long before the 2016 Presidential race, Donald Trump and then-vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin were criticised for eating pizzas with a fork.
"It`s not New York style," Adama Tourray, 25, a clothing store employee from the Bronx, told the New York Daily News at the time, adding he had never seen someone eat pizza with a fork in the Big Apple before.
”You got to grab it,” he said.
