Pizza parties are perhaps the best type of party, bringing joy to everyone, young and old. To get the most out of the pizzas you order for your next party, ask your local joint to “double cut” them.

If you’ve never heard of “double cutting,” don’t worry, your local pizza place has, and it’s a pretty simple premise. The pie is simply cut twice as much, resulting in twice as many slices. This is great for a kid’s party, since kids have small hands and sometimes small appetites, but it’s also great for adults because of that little spice in life known as “variety.” Who wants to choose between an extra large slice of pepperoni-sausage-mushroom or an extra large slice of Hawaiian when you can have a smaller piece of each? Nobody, that’s who.
