Did you ever ask yourself if you were stranded somewhere, and you could only eat one food, what would it be? I would choose pizza, because pizza is my favorite food. I have always liked eating pizza and going out to pizzerias. When I do eat pizza, there is always a special process that I follow. Read on if you want to be fully satisfied with your next experience when you bite into a mouth-watering slice.

The first step I take is to pick the perfect place. I think the best pizzeria in Port Washington is Gino’s. They have the greatest pizza in town. They have great pizza. It is very important to be satisfied with your meal, because otherwise you may be hungry afterwards.

Once you’ve gone to Gino’s, you need to choose the type of pizza you want to eat. I would choose plain. It tastes really good and doesn’t cause you to gain any extra calories like a slice of pizza with topping(s).

The actual process you should follow to eat the pizza is quite interesting and less fattening. Before eating the slice you should take off the cheese and blot off a little of the sauce. Make sure to take off all the cheese. If you have to, use your hands to help you get off all the cheese. The cheese is the oiliest part of the pizza and it tastes like rubber, so you don’t need it.

The next thing to do is to take your first bite. Before biting into the slice, fold your pizza in half. When you fold your pizza in half it seems like you are eating more than you actually are and your stomach fills up quicker: whereas, if you eat the pizza unfolded it doesn’t fill you up as much.

After folding the slice, its time to start eating the slice. Take your first scrumptious and delicious bite. Keep taking small bites and take your time eating. It takes fifteen minutes for the brain to realize that you are eating. Also, if you were to eat at a fast pace you might get a bellyache.

You are now ready to take your last bite. Eat the crust last. Try to put some of the sauce that you blotted off to the side back onto the crust. Don’t put too much sauce on the crust, because then the crust will look gross and get oily. Oil is really bad for you when you eat too much of it, and besides, who needs the extra pounds anyway?

The last step in How to eat the Perfect Pizza, is the clean up. Throw away your trash into the garbage and then immediately wash your hands in the nearest restroom. It is a good idea to always wash your hands after eating pizza, because all the grease and oil is on your hands. If you were to touch your face then you might get a pimple or two.

By following the above steps you’ll be able to enjoy your next slice of pizza to a new level. Next time you order a slice and follow these steps, you won’t have to worry about gaining an extra pound or two, I guarantee it.
