This is what happens when you ask a mathematician to find a way to fairly divide a pizza. As of a few years ago, we now also know this works for 4D pizzas as well!

I look forward to cutting a pizza like that and then trying to convince others to let me have the biggest slice. Or seeming magnanimous by giving them the biggest.

Although, the distribution of the toppings is not equal throughout the pizza - on the edges there is a lot more crust.
