10) Cutting too soon
Ok so you were patient enough to let your pizza cook up properly, but don't grab that pizza cutter just yet! Much like cake, roasts or other foods that come piping hot out of the oven, pizza needs a few minutes to firm up and cool slightly before being cut. For best results, wait at least 5 min. Not only will this prevent you from burning your mouth, but it also allows you to cut the pizza more easily and ensure the toppings remain in place. Once it's good to go, then you can dig in like there's no tomorrow. Buon appetito !
