I sometimes use a fork and knife when eating a slice of pizza.

46. then it's really bad pizza...

with poorly melted cheese that floats upon a layer of bad sauce.

the cheese should infuse with the sauce and adhere to the crust.

that is good pizza and it will cool just enough before eating it.

what you are experiencing is really poorly made pizza.

when you have the cheese floating on the sauce it keeps the heat from the sauce from venting properly and what you get when you bite into it, is the equivalent of eating lava.

any pizza maker worth their sauce would never ever allow that to happen.

it's a delicate balance of sauce to cheese ratio that allows them to compliment each other (along with any toppings) to give the best possible flavor and mouth feel.
