It's a personal preference. If you think you would like it, give it a shot. You could put syrup or fruit on the waffles and eat them as dessert, or still put syrup on them and eat them with pizza. Or you could skip the syrup and put toppings on the waffles. It's up to you.

Typically pizza is just eaten with one's hands. So you could use the knife to slice the pizza and then just eat them with your hands.

Yes! It tastes really good if you just take the crust off, then dip it in ranch sauce.

Use vegan cheese and white garlic sauce instead.

You can put whatever you want on your pizza, though chocolate is quite unusual. It would be more common to just have the pizza plain or with tomato sauce and no cheese.

There is an ingredient in the crust that you're allergic to, so just find recipes for kinds of crusts you can eat, and learn to make one of those. There are gluten-free options and even ones made out of cauliflower.

Try these tips with other foods like pancakes, waffles, steak, or other foods. You can also learn to like pizza by taking small bites, eating it with other foods, or drinking something before and after you take a bite to wash down the pizza and eliminate the taste.

Try experimenting with different sauces. You could try a cheese sauce to go with the cheese on your pizza, or a white sauce or a barbecue sauce.

You could eat it with a fork and knife rather than using your hands.

The real answer is: no! There really isn't a wrong way to eat pizza. Some people like to hold it and fold it so it's easier to take a bite. Some people like to use a fork and knife so they don't get any grease on their hands. Whatever way you like to eat your pizza is the right way. However, if you're in a professional setting, such as a business lunch, you may want to use a fork and knife to cut your pizza into smaller pieces just so your hands stay clean and you don't get any much sauce on your face.

It depends on the context, but generally, no, it isn't rude to eat pizza with your hands in Italy. However, it is common etiquette to use a fork and knife to eat a whole pizza, which is often how a pizza is served to you in a restaurant in Italy. Sliced pizza is more of a street food in Italy, so it's totally fine to eat with your hands. But again, if you choose to grab a slice from a pizza in a restaurant in Italy, you aren't breaking any major rules.

It's super simple (and less greasy) to eat a pizza with a fork and knife. Place the slice onto a plate and stick your fork into it to stabilize it. Use your knife to cut off a small piece from the pizza. Then, use your fork to stick the piece you cut off and eat it. Then, cut yourself another piece. It's a simple, mess-free way to enjoy your slice!
