So, who started the meme of baking the pizzs with the circular shape?
Why don't they cook it with another shapes?, for example pic. Related or just a plain square.

Because you start with a ball of dough, spreading it out evenly with your hands gets you a circle or an oval.
>work at a place where half the menu is individual pizzas
>dough rolled out into long ovals by prep cook
>making pizza for myself one day
>roll the oval into a circle and proceed to make awesome, off the menu pizza
>chef walks in right as i'm pulling it out of the oven, perfectly cooked
>A FUCKING ROUND PIZZA!
>yes chef, as it was meant to be
Maximum area:cperimeter ratio

Circle has less crust for a same amount of dough. People don't usually want more crust.
>>7070074
it was invented by the hacker 4chan. when he would send cheese pizzas to people he liked, he would ask the pizza place to make them round and cut them in slices
this was to symbolize that within the circle of a just society we can remain our separate selves while still being equal
>hurr durr this pizza are square!!!
Being left back in primary school several times is no excuse for not knowing shapes, Anon.
>>7070074
it's the natural shape glutinous dough will form with rolled from a ball.
>>7070372
So if you start with a cube do you get a square?
>>7070074
Because the pizza dough is spun, retard.
>>7070383
yes ofc
>>7070306
>People don't usually want more crust.
tip
>>7070383
have you never touched raw dough before anon
It's because pizza was originally baked on flat stones instead of pans, and a circular shape is more space efficient than a square one. It's why liquid forms into spheres in Zero G rather than tetrahedronical genderqueer pentagrams.

Pizza Hut Supreme Original/Thin Crust is objectively the best pizza ever.
>>7070074
They do make square pizzas, even in Italy. The circular shape is more common though.
>>7070074
Some restaurants that serve pizza by the meter make it rectangular
>>7070549
My man
rectangular pizza reminds me of elementary school cafeteria abominations
>>7070817
I loved school pizza. Where can i buy some?
>>7070563
>by the meter
Excuse you?

i trust you on your pizza history because you are clearly 1000 years old

I love the way they have to tell Americans this is a meal, and not a light afternoon snack lmao
>>7070887
It's a meal because it comes with a side of pudding, ya big dummy
>>7070887
Eh, It's probably only like 300 calories
>his 'za's arent even octahedrons
Fucking plebes
>>7070826
>excuse you
What
Also it's not a very common thing, but some restaurants in Italy sell you a meter long (or more by the half meter) pizza. You can choose a number of toppings based on how many 50cm slices there are, usually.

Do you live in the USSR or some shit? I'm not understanding your autism.

there's a takeaway near me called 'square pan' which deals in square pizzas that fill the pizza boxes they come in. They're not too bad but I have a feeling they make money by costing more than the extra pizza area accommodates.
>>7070821
It's called ellios and you can get it at any grocery store
You're right, OP. Circles covered in toppings are so pleb tier. Not like this gloriously authentic 'za right here!
>>7070929
>using meme shapes
The real pleb here is you
>>7070074
because why shape the pizza if you can just flatten the dough and put it in the oven. that's how italians traditionally made pizza, it's not a meme, square pizzas are more of a meme
>>7070962
"Pizza al metro" pretty common in some countries
>>7071285
Oh snap, that's my hometown.
Don't mind them-- their food is terrible because they're afraid of the brown people that sell tasty things.
Go to New England for seafood and bland boiled side dishes covered in butter.
>>7070849
Mayonnaise still isn't a gender patrick.
>>7070220
this
Plus more even heating. They're traditionally cooked very quickly, so any shape other than circle will leave you with burnt parts and raw patches of dough.
>>7070074
I do my homemade pizzas in rectangles because its easier and I look like less of a food for it not being equal. Fuck your mystic maths you fools I just want pizza ingredients in an edible fashion, geometries be damned
>>7070549
Pizza hus thin crust is hard bullshit. Dominos > THAT and all of that < homemade by someone who knows what they want and how to do it.
