The chicken pizzas I used to buy in the frozen foods section were
square. And I think I cut them, if not into squares, then at least
into quadrilaterals. So I have no trouble with square pizza, let alone
pizza squares.

I used to get Totino's in the frozen food section; the last time I
did, it was square as well.

I once tried a small store I was curious about and ended up with a
vegetarian pizza. Never again. So there /are/ limits to what I will
eat.
