An informational diagram showing different (bad) ways to cut a circular pizza.
- A grid cut, labelled “Tic-Tac-Toe”
- a regular 8-way cut, but the middle is very off center, labelled “Off-Center Inequality.”
- A six-slice cut where each cut is a sinusoidal curve, labelled “Apple Beachball”
- A spiral that goes all the way to the middle, labelled “Spiral Cut”
- Looks normal, but is labelled “Just draw the lines on with a sharpie”
- Regular shaped slices cut out of the middle of the pizza in random positions, labelled “Why”
- A side view, showing two long horizontal cuts through the entire disc, labelled “Layer Cake”
- Mostly diagonal lines splitting the pizza into shapes, labelled “Tangram”
- Two identical pizzas, labelled “Banach-Tarski”
How is this not an xkcd comic?
The spiral doesn’t even cut it into pieces. It’s still one
You mean it’s… One PIEEECCEEE?

wouldn’t the Babach-Tarski cut end up with both pizzas having the same size as the original?
Maybe that was the original size for that one
My guess is it’s smaller due to the spacing of the comic, more like it’s zoomed out
Man I had to look that last one up and I still don’t fully understand it.
Ok hear me out. Off center inequality is the best choice. It gives the most options for portion size, like maybe I don’t want 2 slices. Maybe I only want 1.4 slices. With all others, that isn’t possible.
You share your pizza ?
It’s so you can start with the big slices, and then slowly eat the smaller slices until nothing else fits. It makes it so you don’t end up with a half-eaten slice.
You don’t finish your pizza ? Yeah I’m fat and I know why :(
Honestly, kinda digging the tangram method.
How to never get asked to make pizza again.
Banach-Tarski = Infinite pizza
Aw yeah
Whats an apple beachball?
