Taking a break from watching Rami Malek and Denzel Washington's The Little Things which mentioned that a suspect must be from "back East" because he folds his pizza.
And this is a hard movie to watch.
Do you fold your pizza slice? I remember a few people doing this but not many. I am around a number of native New Yorkers (NYC) here in Lynnhaven.
I am a native Cheesehead born in Milwaukee but moved to Reno, Nevada when I was ten. Parents are from a suburb of Chicago.

Yes, if you are eating a delicious, dripping slice of great New York pizza, folding it at the crust edge strengthens the “spine” of the crust under the filling and helps you get it into your mouth. If you don’t, you will need a plate and fork and knife, and if you buy a carry-out slice, that’s not how it comes. Furthermore, you may need your other hand to help you bring the skinny edge to your mouth for the first wonderful bite. If you’ve ever eaten really good New York pizza in The City (not available anywhere in The Villages, alas), you understand why those of us who love it really love it and why we fold it.
