Humorous as usual, but I'm having a hard time understanding why
Cutting Pizza In Squares is anywhere on this graph - to me, it seems
to be totally independent of the entire good/bad axes.

  For some varities of pizza, cutting into squares is traditional. This
is especially true of ones that are rectangular, where cutting in any
other form would be rather difficult.
  

Cutting into squares makes pizza _unfoldable_!
(Yes, I was born in NYC and raised out on Long Island.)
On the 22nd I did make my first rectangular pizza. I was
experimenting with the Legasse Air Fryer in our kitchen.
It is the type with a glass door and racks that slide in
and out, and those racks are rectangular.  |I could have
cut the pizza on the diagonal to yield 2 triangular slices,
but that only occurs to me now.
Not as crispy on the bottom of the crust as I would have
liked. Temp was about 100 F less than my full size oven
can manage, and I used aluminum foil rather than a pizza
stone under the parchment paper.  I'll try again later
in the week with the other half of the round of dough I
bought. I have not yet graduated to my own dough and sauce.
