There aren’t many different ways to eat a pizza, are there? Most of us simply grab a slice and stick it in our mouths. Maybe if you’re feeling fancy, you could use a knife and fork, but that’s about it, right? Well, not if you’re Drew Barrymore, who has gone viral for her unique pizza-eating technique.

A video posted on the Hollywood actor’s TikTok account shows her picking up a slice, but rather than taking a bite, she instead scrapes the top layer off and puts it on a plate. She then folds up the bottom part of the pizza and places it to one side.

Drew then takes the plate of toppings and adds some lettuce, before mixing it all together.

With a smile on her face, she says: “I just take the toppings and a little salad, which has basically all the same toppings as the pizza, and I make a pizza salad.” 

She says to her 6.7 million followers: “I mix it up and it's actually really crunchy and delicious.”

The Wedding Singer and Charlie’s Angels star tells the camera that her tip would be good if you’re “having a day where they're trying not to eat bread” or for those who are gluten intolerant. 

Not everyone was too keen on this new approach, though. One commenter wrote: “Drew nooooooooo.”

Another added: “Drew I’m filing a lawsuit on behalf of pizza.”

Someone else said: “Life’s too short, eat the pizza,” and a fellow TikTok user wrote: “Someone call the cops.”

Others, however, were into the actor’s way of consuming a pizza. One wrote: “I just scoop the toppings off with a fork. No hard feelings here from me.”

Another admitted: “I do the same thing.”

Later in the clip, Drew can be seen eating a slice in the more conventional way, much to the relief of many fans. One person wrote: “Okay the people commenting didn’t watch until the end ! It was so satisfying watching you finally eat the pizza.”
