Reply To: Ladies First – Is it respectful or not?

Joseph, I did look into it. I saw the psak from Rav Forchsheimer and Rav Bodner and I asked Rav Bodner about it.

Rav Moshe’s point was that pizza is often eaten as a snack and therefore it’s pas haba b’kisnin and that’s why one slice is mezonos. If you live in a country in which pizza is not commonly eaten as a snack, it can’t be considered pas haba b’kisnin, so it’s like bread and you wash on any amount. I think that both Rav Bodner and Rav Forst talk about it in their sefarim on hilchos brachos, and it has to do with the country (not the Yidden in the country)
