Letter: Pizza perfect

Published 3 February 2010

From Michael Shaw

As an employee of a chain of pizza restaurants, I initially found Stephen Ornes’s article on the mathematics of preparing perfect pizza portions highly insightful (12 December 2009, p 48).

However, as soon as I began to attempt the method it described I floundered. This only appears to work with margherita pizzas and others with a strictly uniform distribution of toppings.

Alas, I found it of little help when sharing pizza with my fellow employees.
