At times, de Blasio even flip-flopped between utensils and his hand. Apparently no one informed the good mayor about New York's fold-and-consume method.

The mayor, originally hailing from Cambridge, Mass., clearly hasn't shed his roots yet. Cries for impeachment have already been heard far and wide on Twitter.

He also tried to dispel critics by saying he picked up on the utensil habit in Italy.

No word yet if constituents have been appeased by his attempts to diffuse the sticky situation. Check back for updates on PizzaGate as news surfaces.
