    cut slice Used in the context of pizza: "A cut  of pizza". Believed to
come from the practice of baking pizzas in  rectangular pans and cutting them
into squares for serving. (Central PA is  one place pizzas are called pies. That
doesn't happen everywhere.  Also, pepperoni is a mandatory topping. A
so-called "plain" pizza is  assumed to have pepperoni on it.)

Pittsburgh when I asked for "two cuts of pepperoni."  (Submitted by Aaron Sobol,
