I just looked at the pictures. What they recommended. https://aatishb.com/images/2014/08/pizza-fold-hold.png https://aatishb.com/images/2014/08/pizza-fold-hold.png vs What I do. https://assets.bonappetit.com/photos/5a9dd665eb730726d6c7ec14/master/w_1600%2Cc_limit/pizza-slice-full-fold.jpg https://assets.bonappetit.com/photos/5a9dd665eb730726d6c7ec1... If the article said to fold it in half, then we are in agreement. But the picture they provided didn't show that.

The article says to apply a curvature opposite to the direction it sags in. Whether it's a full 180 degrees or not doesn't matter, you get the effect with any amount of curvature. Actually, if you fold it totally flat then presumably you'd lose the curvature and it would sag again, so that seems unoptimal to me. Plus, how could you taste the toppings?

Yes, I know. > Actually, if you fold it totally flat then presumably you'd lose the curvature and it would sag again Only if the slice is large or top heavy with extra cheese/toppings. Then you'd get sag no matter what. When that happens you use the paper plate to hold your pizza and eat the edge coming off the plate. You slowly edge a bit of the pizza off the paper plate and once you've eaten enough of the pizza, it no longer sags and then you can directly grab the slice and eat it. > so that seems unoptimal to me. Have you eaten a slice in your life? > Plus, how could you taste the toppings? With your taste buds as you are chewing it?

Your version hides the toppings from your tongue.
