Some of the best (and oldest) styles of pizza (Neapolitan, New York) often involve fairly floppy crusts. If that's not your thing, that's fine, but to claim that means they're not "made well" is pretty ignorant.

You can fold a big slice, this is known. If the pizza crust is thin and droops when you hold it by the crust then you are allowed to fold it. The big slice pizza joints around here even make an incomplete cut through the centre of the slice to ensure civilized foldability.
You sloppy non-folders are a disgusting and degenerate sub-human offshoot and like the neandrethals of old we will eventually eliminate/assimilate you.

I used to roll these up like a burrito and eat it
Roll it up, then use a sharp knife to slice it up.
Pizza pinwheels!
OP you're doing it all wrong. You need to take two seperate pieces of pizza and put thew together cheese side in and it's called a pizza sandwich. It works even better if one of the pieces of pizza is plain cheese.
Also calzones suck they are just dough stuffed with molten hot toppings.

Sometimes I like to commit the ultimate sin.
This. NY style pizza, you have to fold it. Otherwise, not necessary.

Correct. Tasty looking slice, too.

Thread is making me hungry. I haven't had pizza in about a year, no joke.
I'm reminded of this (the second page):

If you would prefer, made in a way that's inferior to other styles.
I've gotten some rough looks for blotting grease on my pizza before. I'm a big time believe in the blot, though. Same with bacon.

Now you're just being inflammatory for the sake of it
Nah, I just happen to think that "New York-style pizza" is mediocre.
(There are worse, certainly, but it's not one that I would pick given other choices)

why wouldn't you just order a Calzone?
And people who eat pizza with their hands are disgusting. period.

Have you ever had Neopolitan-style pizza? Think of a good broccoli rabe and Italian sausage pie as a necessary step on your journey to appreciate vegetables!

Don't really care for those either really - not enough cheese.
Also, aside from the broccoli issue, I don't really care too much for sausage.

Pretty much how 95% of new york style pizza is eaten.

I fold it the opposite way, cheese on the outside.

I do it from time to time. There's nothing wrong with it.
Y'know what else I do sometimes? Fork and knife. THere's nothing wrong with that either.
There is no wrong way to eat pizza.
Sorry, OP said "pizza," not Uno's tomato bread pudding.

I don't fold it completely into a sandwich but I do fold it a little just for a secure grip.
Deep-dish can be delicious, it's just a very different kind of pizza.
what the hell, cheese and toppings falling out of control everywhere

Currently waiting for a pizza. Sitting in a Pizza Pizza location. Ordered a large with chicken, Italian sausage, pineapple and extra cheese. All with BBQ base sauce instead of the regular stuff. Getting some jalepeno cheddar dipping sauces to go with it.
Will experiment with eating styles and report in later

This way the cheese, sauce, and toppings hit both the taste buds and roof of your mouth simultaneously instead of being dulled by crust. It won't fall apart as long as it isn't too hot.

I mean, even if you're not going to fold it, eating a slice topping down would be the best way to do it.

Swedish pizza is usually really thin (basically what you'd call "NY style", I guess), so yeah, you pretty much have to fold the slice at least a bit to be able to hold it with one hand. Otherwise it just hangs straight down, and the toppings will likely slide off. I usually don't completely fold it though, just enough so that it can support itself.

I think I'm gonna puke... so much pizza
I was thinking about taking photos of my various pizza eating styles, but then I realized that would require effort that would take away from pizza eating energy. So here's a shot of my dinner:
I tried the V-shape method, but quickly found that doesn't work too well if the slice is loaded down with toppings. The pointy tip part quickly sags down. Biting off that part and then applying the V-shape method works pretty well
I tried the sandwich and inverted sandwich method with 2 slices (crust on outside for the first, and crust on inside for the second). The sandwich method was cleaner, but my mouth was contacting too much crust for my liking. If it was a calzone, that would be a different situation as those crusts are usually not as hard as this one was. The inverted sandwich wasn't bad, but it was damned hard to keep toppings on the part facing down. All that cheese helped a bit though.
I tried the roll up method where you start from the tip and roll it towards the crust... was kinda "meh" for me.
At this point I just reverted to my normal method of dipping each mouthful in the jalepeno cheddar dipping sauce, and take a bite. Whatever falls off the slice is fine, as I'll scarf that down once the slice is gone.

Eating gigantic slices whose crusts are very crispy and contain a lot of contours (that is they feel a little bumpy due to the way it's baked), are AMAZING when folded in half. Man, fuck what you heard, but I eat pizza like this often. Only downside is that I finish a slice so quickly if I eat it like this.
This thread taught me that, for some reason, bread can never be the first thing to touch your tongue when you're eating
