Portafoglio

Italian · pronounced por-tah-FOL-yoh

A whole Neapolitan pizza folded twice into quarters so it can be held in one hand and eaten walking — the folded wallet shape gives it the name. A documented Neapolitan street-food serving convention in its own right, usually smaller and cheaper than a sit-down pizza, not an improvisation.
