divvy up

Share among everyone

To divvy up is to divide and distribute something among people: Let's divvy up the pizza, They divvied up the inheritance equally.

The phrase is informal and typically involves sharing money, food, tasks, or other divisible things.

Divvy alone can serve the same function, but the "up" emphasizes completion of the distribution.
