A method of configuring a slice of a pizza-type pie and an apparatus for preparing a pizza-type pie

摘要

The present invention is directed to a method of configuring a slice of a pizza-type pie, which is at least partially baked. The method includes (i) folding an end portion of the slice in a transverse direction so that upon folding the top of the end portion is folded onto the top of the remainder of the slice, and (ii) folding the resulting slice in a lengthwise direction so that the top of the resulting slice is folded onto itself. This method can be applied to slice that is in a shape selected from the group consisting of a wedge shape, a substantially round shape, and a substantially square shape. In another embodiment, the present invention is directed to application of the above-described method to a slice of a pizza-type pie having an end portion that is substantially free of toppings. In another embodiment, the present invention is directed to a pizza-type pie having a crust, sauce on top of the surface of the crust, and toppings also on top of the surface of the crust, wherein an inner minority portion of the surface area of the pizza is substantially free of toppings.
