Cutting Pizza In Squares is anywhere on this graph - to me, it

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.

We used to get the Jeno's pizza mix and bake it
in rectangular cookie sheets.   It was cut into
square pieces for serving.

We usually use round pizza pans, but if the occasion calls for one or more larger pies Ellen breaks out the rectangular baking sheets; the resulting pizza is then cut into squares.
One of our sons prefers his round pizza cut into squares, although he'll happily eat wedges when that's what's available.

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.

Vegetarians and vegans in our extended family; not in our immediate household although Ellen won't eat mammal.  Nothing wrong with vegetarian* pizza; we favor mushrooms and Fontina cheese on pesto when prepared at home, mushroom and black olive when ordered out.
*Even the "best" (as rated by our vegan kin) cheese substitute is unacceptable to the rest of us.
