It's probably already been noted, but if any of you ever go to Italy and eat out, don't use your hands, it's considered incredibly rude to not use cutlery in a restaurant.

Also there's a health and safety issue to think about. It's easy to burn the roof of your mouth and fingers on all the molten cheese.
A knife and fork is much safer.

Yeah, well you don't get thick crusts or any similar abominations in Italy...
I prefer the thin on a plate but the thick from a box.

Indeed. And you don't get pizza for lunch, either. It's an evening meal. (Except in Rome or somewhere they got used to mad foreigners).
They sell it for breakfast/mid-morning snack by the slice in Sicily.

I'm sure we've already resolved this question on urban.

No it's not. When you buy a pizza, you are buying the right to eat it. When you buy a film on video, is it your film? NO. The film belongs to whoever owns the copyright - you have simply bought a license that gives you the right to view it privately. The same applies to pizza. You do not own pizza, even if you make it yourself. You have simply been granted the right to eat it. And thus, you should eat it PROPERLY. Eating pizza with a knive and forks is like illegally copying DVD's and selling them. PIRACY.

All this "Italians consider pizza to be an evening meal" is a load of rubbish.
I've been to some excellent neighbourhood restaurants in Rome that serve pizza at lunchtime.

Rome isn't normal cos its a touist town and therefore blah blah blah.
I too have eaten pizza in rome at lunchtime, and i ate it with my fingers without getting grease on my hands(well much), upsetting the locals and without burning the roof of my mouth and whatever bollocks other people have said.

If I was only eating pizza then it would be with my hands whether I was eating off a plate or a box. But if I was eating pizza with salad/pasta then I would use a knife and fork.
I generally regard pizza as a eat with your hands food.
