Also, why is any pizza ever getting cut into 12 slices?

Aside from small pizzas, I generally cut pizzas into 12 pieces. 8 slices ends up with unwieldy slices, 16 makes for overly narrow ones. Cut it however you want, of course, but for most average sized pizzas 12 makes for a nice sized slice.

That’s very much a cultural thing. An average European pizza is more of a ‘personal’ pizza and 8 or 10 inches in diameter. Twelve slices would be too much.

I propose the Imperial/English pizza theorem. The optimal number of slices for a pizza is equal to the size in inches.
