Assuming that you don't usually polish off a whole pizza and knowing that you are staying in hotels, what do you do with any leftover slices? It would break my heart to leave any behind.

I finish them 99% of the time - the last time I didnt finish a pizza was in Melbourne due to the size - I brought it back with me to the hotel, but then I had to throw it away as I didnt have a good way to keep it food-safe. If something was truly inedible, I would leave it at the restaurant.

I went back to Emmy Squared because my hotel last night is literally in Via Riyadh and got the margherita this time - much better than the pepperoni

It was listed as burrata on the menu (though was slightly melted).

Il Postino Pizzeria, Jeddah - good pizza, but a bit heavy on the balsamic glaze which overpowered the other flavors
