Once the Slicer has finished dividing the pizza, the player to their left chooses a portion and takes all of the slices in that portion (and the Special, if it is part of that portion). At this time, the player must decide which slices to collect, leaving them face up in front of them and combining them with their previously collected slices so that all slices of the same value are placed next to each other (these face-up slices may be rearranged by the player as necessary), or if they want to eat any of the slices that have pepperoni on them, placing them face down. Any slices may be collected, but only slices that have pepperoni on them may be eaten.
