Pizza With a Knife & Fork?
A foldable pizza is not a pizza, just as soft ice cream is not ice cream.
A pizza should be crisp enough to resist folding. A slice may be bent slightly at the larger end (by hand) to get at the eating end more easily.
A knife and fork is a last resort to handle pizza that is too hot, over-topped or runny. I am surprised that no one has mentioned that high-quality, crisp, properly topped New York pizza must be eaten with cold Coca-Cola, out of the can, with a straw. Finally, all pizza requires a wad of napkins opposite the eating hand to soak up the inevitable drops of oil that may drip from even the best pizza. So be it. I have spoken.

2 places where cilantro rocks: Viet Nam, Mexico.
• I have a VIetnamese restaurant in Chinatown, NYC where, when you order pho, they give you a small plate piled high with fresh cilantro. You can dump some into the pho and let it soak. Or you can dip and chomp.
• Bean burritos -- pinto or black bean -- can be stuffed with a handful of cilantro, and rolled up. The hot tortilla warms the cilantro and brings out its flavor.
