The pizza arrived, steaming and delectable, a smoked-mozzarella-and-sausage pie presented to Mayor Bill de Blasio like a gilded offering to a visiting caliph. The mayor, on a pilgrimage on Friday to Goodfellas, a venerable Staten Island pizzeria, smiled, nodded at his slice and then proceeded to do the unthinkable: eat it with a knife and fork. Cue the foodie firestorm. “Disaster,” declared a writer at New York magazine, citing the longstanding city protocol of devouring pizza, no matter how greasy, with the hands, and the hands only. One website called it Mr. de Blasio’s first mistake as mayor. The fake-scandal hashtag #forkgate immediately appeared on Twitter. There were comparisons to Donald J. Trump, who once earned opprobrium for a utensil-laden stop at Famous Famiglia in Times Square. Even the overseers of Goodfellas, while happy to have Mr. de Blasio in their midst, sounded a skeptical note. “Hmm,” said a co-owner, Scot Costentino, when asked about the fork use, uttering the onomatopoeia for “Yeah, I’m not so sure about that.” “I think he’s just trying to be polite,” Mr. Costentino said. “We’ll talk to him on the side about that,” he added, jerking his head toward the back of the restaurant. Confronted by reporters about his use of utensils, Mr. de Blasio argued that he was simply being authentic to his Italian roots. “In my ancestral homeland, it’s more typical to eat with a fork and knife,” Mr. de Blasio, whose mother was Italian, said. He noted, by way of explanation, that the slice he was served on Friday “had a lot on it.” “I’ve been to Italy a lot,” the mayor added. Mr. de Blasio is not the first New York mayor to have a peculiar style of eating pizza. Michael R. Bloomberg, when he was served a slice, would often reach for the nearest salt shaker and pour a copious amount of sodium onto his dish. (Mr. Bloomberg was said to prefer a level of saltiness that burns lips.) And then there was the small matter of Mr. Bloomberg’s method of drinking beer: He liked his lager poured over ice. Still, despite his billions, the wealthy Mr. Bloomberg had a penchant for comfort food, and he munched on street-cart hot dogs utensil-free. Charles Greinsky, of Staten Island, a longtime friend of Mr. de Blasio’s who was also eating at Goodfellas on Friday, said he was thrilled to see the mayor visiting his home borough. But his face darkened when the topic of the fork came up. “No,” he said. “No. It’s blasphemy.” Pressed on why a mayor who prides himself on populism would opt for such a technique, Mr. Greinsky shrugged. “He’s from Boston,” Mr. Greinsky said of the mayor. “He doesn’t know any better.” Is eating pizza with a fork normal?According to Eataly, the proper Italian way to eat pizza is with a fork and knife. They say that you're supposed to use your fork and knife and start at the triangular tip of pizza, eventually working your way up to the crust.
Which country eats pizza with a fork?In Italy, arguably the birthplace of pizza, pies are served uncut, so using a knife and fork to perform triangular cuts is mandatory.
What percentage of people eat pizza with a knife and fork?To make it easier to eat, many people opt to fold their slice in half, but a new survey commissioned by Donatos and conducted by OnePoll, reveals that a select few (eight percent) actually eat pizza with a knife and fork.
Is pizza supposed to be eaten by hand?The most reliable, ever-acceptable way to eat pizza is with your hands. If you're eating a regular, thin-crust slice of pizza, do not reach for a knife and fork, but pick it up with your fingers.
