Do you fold, knife and fork it, or are you a crust first type of person?

Eating pizza isn’t just mindless scoffing, it comes with a slice of psychology, JSYK.

According to body language and behaviour expert Patti Wood, of Emory University, pizza eaters can be sorted into four categories.

Crust first

As you can imagine these people are pretty unusual.

People who eat the crust first are bold, different and tend to think outside the box.



Ms Wood reckons those who eat their pizzas in this method are influencers.

Folders

Apparently, people who fold their slices aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty to get the job done.

This type of pizza eater doesn’t have time to waste, which is probably why competitive eaters favour this method.

Straight up biter

No techniques, no utensils, just you, your hands and the delicious cheesy tomato goodness.

People who simply pick up their slices and scoff are perfectionists who think mess equates to stress.

And we all know this is the technique which creates the least washing up. Result.

Knife and forker

People who use cutlery to eat their pizza are stable, calm and methodical.

Ms Wood thinks people who utilise this method are supporters and make great friends.
