Food shape absolutely affects taste and I will die on this hill. We had a local pizza place that cut theirs into tiny squares and let me tell you, it would definitely not hit the same if they weren’t in the shape and size that they’re in.
I agree, there's a mom and pop pizza joint by me that normally cuts into squares, but their cheese is a little thick and can easily slide off the slices easily when you bite and pull, so I request it pie cut so I can sort of hold on to the cheese layer at the crust. It legit tastes better because I don't bite the entire sheet of cheese off the slice on my first bite. Every bite is a perfect ratio of crust, sauce, and cheese. The only disappointment is when they don't read the special instructions. I'm not nitpicky enough to request a remake but it genuinely does change the entire experience so it's disappointing/I wouldn't have ordered if I knew they would "mess" it up.

To this day I cut my pizza in thin slices like this because of the childhood memories. I swear to you it tastes better.
