Why Does the Shape of a Pizza Make It So Delicious?

Pizza is round because it fits in a circle! Imagine you're holding a pizza, the edges are all the same distance from the center. That makes it easy to cut and eat, no matter where your slice starts. If it were square, some parts would be closer to the corner than others, making it less fun.
