Regional eating custom

Pizza as a shared order in Korean group eating

In South Korea pizza is ordered for a group and cut into many small pieces, frequently alongside fried chicken rather than instead of it, and served with pickled radish. It slots into an existing shared-plate eating culture rather than replacing one, which is part of why it localised so far and so fast.
