Why did the pizza maker go broke?

Because he kept cutting corners!

Why This Joke Works

"Cutting corners" means being cheap or taking shortcuts in business โ€” but a pizza is round, so a pizza maker cutting corners is not only lazy but geometrically impossible. The pizza maker's financial collapse is both a business failure and a spatial impossibility, which makes the downfall all the more baffling.

๐ŸŽค How to Tell This Joke

Deliver it with the resigned tone of someone explaining an entirely preventable business collapse โ€” the pizza maker should really have seen this coming.

Perfect for:

  • โ€ขWhile making homemade pizza and slicing the finished product
  • โ€ขAt a pizzeria when the slice shapes look uneven or odd
  • โ€ขDuring any business conversation about shortcuts when pizza is somehow in the vicinity
