Cut a Pizza into 2 using one straight cut.

Stack the pieces and make a straight cut: you now have 22 = 4 pieces from 2 cuts.

Stack these and make a straight cut: you now have 23 = 8 pieces from 3 cuts.

Continue.

After 7 cuts you can have 27 = 128 pieces.

You can reduce the number of pieces to 29 if, after the fourth cut, you stack and cut only 11 pieces and thereafter cut just one each time. There are other options which give the same result.
