Cut the Pizza in half along a diameter going from west to east. Then cut the two halves along a diameter going from north to south. Finally, cut the four quarters with a circular cut that is centered on the center of the pizza and having a radius of about 71% that of the pizza (the exact figure is the square root of one half). Give the pieces from inside the circle to your friends who don't like the crust.
By the way, it isn't possible to do this so that all eight pieces include part of the crust; the circumference of the pizza would have to be cut eight times, but it can only be cut twice by each of the three cuts. STOP LYING

Think about a circle. If you divide it into six equal parts, each part is 1/6 of the circle. Now think about a circle that is identical to the first. If you divide that one into eight equal parts, each part is 1/8 of the circle. If you compare the two divided circles, you will see that the 1/8 pieces must be smaller than the 1/6 pieces, because eight pieces are filling the same space as six pieces. Draw this out on paper to prove this to yourself if need be.

one seventh cause there is less to split the circle with ---- One-seventh is greater. If you divide something into seven pieces, each piece is bigger than if you divide it into eight pieces. The more pieces, the smaller each piece has to be. Half an hour (1/2) is bigger than a quarter of an hour (1/4).

Cut each pie into eight pieces (cut in half, turn 1/4 turn, cut in half again, turn 1/8th turn, cut in half, turn 1/4 turn, and cut in half). Then, give each person five pieces.
