All of this pie are squared business has me going in circles.
I buy Sicilian. Large has 12 cuts, small has 6 cuts.

I've got some friends that own pizza franchises who tell me the cost of the pizza materials is almost nothing. The costs are in the people, building and delivery. So this is why they do buy one get one or sale larger for almost the cost of the smaller.
But the real question is why do they put round pizzas in square boxes?
It’s cheaper and easier to make square pizza boxes. The real question is why the pizza has to be round. Fill the box.
No pizza places in your area? All of the pizza places in our area are operating with curb pickup
This is just amazing ...
that someone would take the time and effort to write an article about something that is so obvious. What's next? A detailed treatise that a bigger box of cornflakes has a greater volume (with corresponding analysis of the V = A x B x C formula) and that you get more cornflakes per dollar with the bigger box?
When the waiter asked Yogi Berra if he wanted his pizza cut into 6 slices or 8 slices, he said "Just cut it into 6 slices. I'm not hungry enough to eat 8 slices."
Doesn't have to be round, but.....
Why Is Pizza Round? - Pete and Elda's Bar / Carmen's Pizzeria
Why is pizza round? If you’ve pondered this timeless question, you’re not the only one. Google auto-fill quickly forms this question when typing in search terms for pizza and yields millions of results. Sure, not all pizzas are round. You can find square and rectangular shaped pies all over the country, but the majority of pizzerias, especially in New Jersey, serve up round pizza. Let’s find out why.
Even Cooking and Easy Cutting
The round shape most pizzas have makes it easier to cook evenly compared to a more angular shape. It also makes it easier to quickly divide using a small amount of swipes with a round pizza cutter. Have you ever watched a seasoned pizza maker cut a pizza? They do it so quickly it can make your head spin.
Stretching the Dough
When a pizza maker stretches out a lump of dough, they toss it in the air and use circular motions with their hands and fists to elongate the shape. In nerdy and scientific terms, the centrifugal force of throwing the dough in the air in a spinning motion causes the circular shape. Using the shape that is formed from stretching the dough takes less effort than reshaping it, meaning faster production.
Round Pizza in a Square Box
So if the pizza is round, why is the box square? It is much cheaper to mass produce square boxes than round ones since a square box can be made from a single sheet of cardboard. Square boxes are also much easier to store since they can remain flat until needed.
Gotta Fold
If you’ve ever visited the Midwest, you might notice something strange about your round pizza. Instead of large triangle slices, most pizza in the Midwest is cut into small squares. Here in the east, we do things the right way by folding our big triangular pieces in half, and a round pie makes this possible.
One thing is for sure, no matter the shape, pizza will always be our favorite food.
You haven't had Sicilian pizza until you've had Mack Daddy make it. I'll hook you up this Fall, if you promise to play nicely with millennials.
Not sure that the COVID-19 will allow this old boomer the make the Fall. I might be on God's bucket list
Fill the box sounds like a line for another thread!
Sure hope you aren't hinting at bad news.Not sure that the COVID-19 will allow this old boomer the make the Fall. I might be on God's bucket list
I hate when places identify their "sizes" by number of cuts...that's pretty damn useless in figuring how much pizza I'm getting
So you eat it in the car in the garage or in the screened-in porch or the treehouse.
If I didn't know before I surely know now. There is something seriously wrong with you. I guess that's why we are friendsNot related but had to post this gif here, ridiculous!!!

I had an old boss who took us out to dinner. He ordered a large pizza, but asked to have it cut into four slices because he wasn't too hungry.
It added to the laugh since he weighed well over 300lbs.
He was joking of course...
This is one of my biggest annoyances here in the midwest. Not only do they cut it into squares, they are TINY squares, like 2 inchces square. That's great for a kids' birthday party, but if it's adults eating, I want a nice big slice of pizza. Sometimes, if I remember when I order, I'll ask them to cut it into triangles instead, but I usually forget.
Actually that's good. Our kids and grandkids have been getting is pizza each Friday since the lockdown. They leave the pizza on the front porch or back deck. I'll bring the pizza on after sitting a out a half hour outside. Same with groceries the kids get for us. We are very fortunate having the kids on the farm. I'll usually wash my hands with 92% alcohol after touching and apply to face and nostrils.
Starting at 5pm, I'll use 45% alcohol to warm my internals.
Why is geometry and basic econ being listed as science? Does anyone around still know what that word even means?
I've been just eating what my wife or I cook. This past weekend, I did get weak and bought a pizza. It was so good. Please, please, please no hoagie porn.
Right on Step. This article is flawed in that it fails to consider square and thickness.

Speaking of good pizza, we talking Arcaro & Genell's from Old Forge or we talking Alfredo's in Scranton? Both top notch.
Me now? I live in the boro so I'm partial to Pinocchio's, but that's only because I started going there for their beer garden.

Absolutely not, never had a fever from flu, I know this can't be compared to past flu we had experienced, but I treat my being as a carrier. If things change, my Penn State kids will inform you.
I'm overwhelmed,
Thank you

No, we call the property the farm because my father in law had everyone of his children and spouses (myself and SIL's and BIL's) build on the property in Lehman that he bought in 1966. It was essentially a do it "our self project".
All pop wanted to see was assholes & elbows swinging in play while building houses. We built the first three houses in two years....after work, weekends and holiday's. The other four houses were built later, at a more leisurely pace.
Shoot clay, no, but large enough to land a helicopter. One of pop's close friends, Joe Wesley, the owner of AmQuip would often drop by, pick up pop and be off. Mostly to Canada to hunt.
