That's not to avoid cutting pepperoni. There was no reason to shape the 2 pieces at the top like that... other than being a pizza sadist.

I almost want to do this. If you don't slice that pepperoni the first time it grabs it's buddy Cheese and they both go on a trip all over the damn place.
You should either cut it better or start considering using a different cheese (or better, just use mozzarella as it was intended), ask to the pizzeria/shop if you buy it
Not all mozzarella is created equal. The best pizza cheese I've found in the US is Boar's Head mozzerella. Nothing else melts right or holds up to the 550° oven like this one. I just get the deli to take a knife to the chub to cut off a block for easier shredding.
Your dad could get a job gerrymandering districts for the state.
"Back in my days there were no neurodivergent people"
mf back in his days when asked to cut pizza:
For frozen pizza I will move the pepperoni before baking so they are in predetermined slices.
Same. Sometimes they're all in one section as well so I make sure to distribute them evenly. I also add another layer of mozzarella before baking.
This right here is a diagnosis. I'm not sure for what, but you've got a lot of something.
I get it. The pizza slicer pushes pepperoni and other toppings down which smushes the cheese and sauce out the size, then you have an uneven distribution of cheese/sauce. So either you have an uneven distribution of pepperoni, an uneven distribution of cheese/sauce, or you spend a great deal of time placing your pepperoni so that they're perfectly positioned away from your cut lines.
Yeah, if you use an inferior tool you get inferior results. Using scissors is the only correct way to cut a pizza.
.........I want to say that you're wrong, but I don't have enough experience with scissors on pizza to dispute it.
I've seen those scissor/spatula combos online, seems like a great option.
Edit: someone out there strongly disagrees
If you use a large knife to cut the pizza you don't have this problem.
Does it take that long to move them?
I just take the back edge of a knife hold it over each of the 6 lines ill be cutting as a guide, and pull any of the pepperoni on the line one way of the other. Take like 5 seconds.
Your daddy's my kind of freak
No he's doing that because he is a demon. LOOK at that slice at 12-o-clock. That's not avoiding the pepperoni that is malediction against society

Totino’s frozen pizza had it best: diced pepperoni. Pepperoni in every bite.
Just arrange the pepperoni in advance so you can cut normal without slicing them.
I fully support this strategy, can't believe I never considered it myself. I will have to carefully suggest it to my wife who will NOT approve of this mutilation of one of her glorious pizzas.
The only thing wrong with this is the inevitable sibling conflict over who got the biggest piece.
Thanks Dad. I’ll have one with 5 slices of pepperoni not 3. 3 slices of pepperoni is for pussies.
The only problem I see is different slices have different numbers of pepperoni and different lengths of crust.
But if you want straight cuts, a sharp cleaver does the best job.
