COMPUTERISED scanners and "fuzzy logic" software have been harnessed by food scientists to yield the mathematically perfect pizza.
The pizza of the future will have sauce spread evenly and lushly across its base and its mushrooms, ham, sweetcorn and other toppings will be positioned with millimetric accuracy, thanks to the culinary efforts of Sun Da-Wen and Tadhg Brosnan at Ireland's University College Dublin.
The breakthrough was derived from digital snapshots of 25 pizzas which were then broken down and transformed into a mathematical formula to define the optimal pizza's base area, spatial ratio between toppings and circularity.
The study is reported in next Saturday's New Scientist. It is published in full in a specialist publication, Journal of Food Engineering.
The findings should be useful for ensuring quality control in pizza factories, enabling cameras to instantly pick out a pie with sparse toppings or which is skimpy or patchy on sauce.

Hmm ... Does the pizza then taste better when it has been made mathematically corect?

Sounds like a bunch of stoned College students 2 me!
"Dood! Lets make ..like the Perfect pizzaa!..it will optimize are munchies...DOood..sweet idea!..then we could use it in math class to get out of real work!..Dood sweetness!
hahaha

What a crock anyway. Soon as you freeze the **** thing, all the peperoni fall off to one side (at least all the ones I buy do). I agree with Drew - just some 'scientists' getting out of real class-work!
