  2. a regular 8-way cut, but the middle is very off center, labelled “Off-Center Inequality.”
  3. A six-slice cut where each cut is a sinusoidal curve, labelled “Apple Beachball”
  4. A spiral that goes all the way to the middle, labelled “Spiral Cut”
  5. Looks normal, but is labelled “Just draw the lines on with a sharpie”
  6. Regular shaped slices cut out of the middle of the pizza in random positions, labelled “Why”
  7. A side view, showing two long horizontal cuts through the entire disc, labelled “Layer Cake”
  8. Mostly diagonal lines splitting the pizza into shapes, labelled “Tangram”

I recall reading somewhere that if you cut the pizza using the "off-center inequality" method, then have four people each take a piece plus the one directly across from it they will all end up with an equal amount of pizza.
