My logic to not folding them is savoring the taste for longer.
For example, take 2 pieces of paper and fold them into a triangle (or cut them). Bite one without folding and bite another folding. The one you folded will have more of it bitten into, so you’re basically eating the pizza faster, thus less to savor.

I only (lightly) fold mine temporarily so that I can eat the slice with one hand without the point flopping down, allowing cheese and toppings to slide off of the end. Once rigid enough, I eat the rest of the slice flat. Whenever the crust is rigid enough to hold the toppings on without flopping over, I don’t fold at all.
i thought folding your slice was purely a movie thing, never saw real people do that. They all just ate it normally
I think it’s more common to eat it flat if you don’t live in new york city, you just use a second hand to hold up the end of its drooping
Never known anyone who folds it
Take smaller bites and it will last as long.
Why would you fold Pizza? Is that a strange american thing?
People fold pizza?
I only do it at places that serve giant slices the size of your head. It gets tedious munching like an old school type writer, so I fold it.
It depends on the size of the slice and thickness of the crust.
I’m worried some people here haven’t had enough pizza varieties. There’s definitely some great pies that absolutely benefit from folding but most pizza I eat does not get folded.
My friend grabs 2 piece with different toppings that are similar sizes and puts them facing each other with the crust on the outside so he can eat it like a sandwich 👀
I eat the front half normally, then fold the back half into the crust and eat it from the side. I like the crust, just not by itself.
I think that’s a specifically NYC thing
Never really seen anyone folding their pizza.
You’re only really “supposed” to fold pizza if it’s the large NY style slices, I still don’t, but that’s the only time I’ve seen other people do it.
I actually eat mine with a knife and fork.
I fold the shit out of pizza when eating it, otherwise it can be like holding a piece of paper that’s flopping down. Idk why it’s somehow the minority here tbh
No but I also typically eat the fattest crust I can find, so not really conducive to a fold
i’m from nyc… folding pizza is the way to go
I’m a folder.
Depends on the type of pizza.
