pizza slice

Foldable Italian portion

A pizza slice is a triangular portion cut from a round pizza, sized to be eaten by hand.

The shape follows naturally from cutting a circle into wedges.

In pizzerias, slices are often sold individually: I grabbed a slice for lunch.

The term distinguishes a single portion from a whole pie.
