This assumes there's a single cutting point in the interior of the pizza, which has not typically been my experience in situations where this would have been an issue.

Edited for clarity.

    It doesn't assume a central cutting point, it assumes 2 people alternating slices

    It does assume only one cutting point interior to the pizza:

    "Let p be an interior point of the disk, and let n be a multiple of 4 that is greater than or equal to 8. Form n sectors of the disk with equal angles by choosing an arbitrary line through p, rotating the line ⁠n/2⁠ − 1 times by an angle of ⁠2π/n⁠ radians, and slicing the disk on each of the resulting ⁠n/2⁠ lines."

    My previous comment may have been ambiguous, so I've edited it to be clearer. I meant that very rarely do all of the cuts go through one point - when slices are uneven in my experience, that usually comes along with a few extra mini-triangles in the middle of the pizza where the cuts have missed each other.
