Message: [QUOTE="dog bone, post: 1318880, member: 253"] I don't know if it's a defining characteristic or not, but it is fairly common. While growing up in Eastern Connecticut, all we ever had available were mom and pop Pizza and Hot Oven Grinder shops. I only knew of pizza being sliced into squares - at least large pizza. Strangely the small pizzas are sliced traditionally into wedges. I was fascinated when I watched a TV program and the large pizzas were sliced into wedges as it was foreign to me. It wasn't until some of the major chains moved into the area that pizza was cut into wedges. With squares, you end up with a variety of different slices. 4 small corner wedges that are mostly crust, 8 square slices with crust on one side, and 4 middle slices with no crust at all. As kids we disliked the crust, so we would fight over the middle 4 slices. When I make my own pizza, I slice into wedges. [/QUOTE]
