There can be varied reasons why you would want to slice a pizza into 7 slices. You would like to get bigger slices than distributing it into 8 portions. Probably, you have different choices of toppings in your pizza and would like to slice them as per your choice. Or, simply you have 7 friends over at your place and would like to get a slice of pizza per person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wondering how to get go about doing it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s not as difficult as you think it is. Following are a few simple ways to easily cut a pizza into 7 slices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A pizza can be easily cut into 7 slices by reducing the amount per slice while cutting a pizza in 6 or by cutting a slice first and then dividing the rest of the pizza in 6 slices. You can also divide the pizza into halves and cut four slices on the first half and 3 slices on the other half.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In this article, we shall look into the methods that will help you to cut a pizza however big or small into 7 different slices. Also, look into some of the tools that will help you to slice a pizza easily!<\/p>\n\n\n\n First and the most important decision is to be clear if you want to get equal slices or unequal slices. This will mostly depend on the preference of the group or the choice of toppings that are there. However, given below are different methods that you can choose according to your preference and they allow you to cut the portions equally or of various proportions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The easiest way is to roughly eyeball every slice. Although this method takes a little understanding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Following are the steps to roughly get 7 equal slices.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The method helps you in getting a slice and then dividing the remaining two portions of the pizza into roughly 3 equal slices to get 6 more slices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another easy trick to get 7 slices of pizza is to shift the center of the pizza to one side by an inch or two depending on the size of the pizza. This does not give slices that look equal but proportionately most slices will more or less be equal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you do not mind some portions being unequal in a pizza then the above method is one of the easiest methods. As it involves dividing the pie into halves and getting 4 slices in one half and 3 slices in the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Related Reading: 4 Different ways to Cut a Pizza into 3 Slices? [With Calories!]<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The W method as I like to call it. Helps you get most of the slices equally and 1 slice that is smaller. This method looks a little complicated at first but is easy once you have understood where to begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Using a protractor as a guide to cut pizza at equal angles is an easy way to do it. You can also use a circular protractor with a pointer as shown above. This method will help you get each pizza slice exactly the same dimensions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Pizza Protractors<\/a> such as this which are also cutters are available that allow you to easily get 6 or 8 slices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Protractors mainly use fractions to determine the angle at which each slice needs to be cut. You can determine the angle by dividing the degrees of the circle by 7. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Degrees of a circle = 360 Thus essentially any size to be divided equally into 7 slices has to be cut at 51 degrees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Following is the table for reference while dividing various sizes of pizza at 51 degrees. This table will help you to understand the size of every slice of pizza that you will get. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nDifferent Ways that a Pizza can be cut into 7 Slices:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
1. Getting almost 7 equal slices:<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
2. Shifting the Centre point of the pizza <\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
3. Getting 2 big slices and 5 equal slices<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
4. Using the ‘W’ method to cut:<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
5. Using the ‘Y’ Method<\/h3>\n\n\n

6. Using a protractor<\/h3>\n\n\n
Number of slices = 7
Thus, 360\/7 = 51.4<\/p>\n\n\n\n
