I have reached an unnerving conclusion: we should bake pizza to be square.
The reason is purely mathematical:
The limitations on baking a pizza are the oven size and time.
Now, the size of the oven is vertical and horizontal, but no pizza will ever vertically challenge the oven, therefore this axis is moot and we can say that the pizza's thiccness is not a bother.

As for time, it is decided by the thiccness of the pizza, seeing as how we declared that to not matter we can proclaim that the time is also constant for all the pizzas we will theoretically bake.

So all that remains as a bottleneck for producing the pizza is the horizontal size.

I will treat the oven as a square cause that's the shape I know my oven has.

Seeing as how we want the most pizza per bake, we want to maximize it's size, if the oven is 2X in length and deepness, this will be the size we work with.

A circle pizza will have a diamater of 2X, and so it's "landmass" will be pie*X^2= 3.14X^2

A square pizza will have each leg be 2X, and the landmass will be 2X*2X=4X^2

Given how the time of baking is the same because the thickness is the same. Square pizza is 1.27 times more efficient for the purpose of stuffing myself with the maximum amount of pizza in as small a time.

Pic unrelated, it's just strudel

Round is more efficient for even heat distribution and better cooking. A square pizza will take longer to cook properly. Also, the back of the oven is hotter and will cook faster. A circular pizza can be easily turned in the oven midway through the process to ensure equal heat expsoure. A square pizza cannot, as the edges would catch on the sides of the oven if you tried to turn it. Therefore, the highest quality pizza is circular.

For one, a square pizza taking up most of an oven rack per OP's post will interfere with natural convection in the oven. Also, just think about how heat travels throughout an object, given that a circle is a collection of points equidistant from a single point, heat transfer is consistent through the pizza.

>>	Anonymous Thu Mar 19 15:27:23 2020 No.13803032 kek my pizzas are always rectangular because my oven trays are rectangular and so is my pizza stone. There's no rule that says that your pizzas should be round or any kind of shape really, just do whatever you want you dumdums.
