Slice Separation from Sliding a Cut Pizza into a Box

The pizza below underwent out-of-box cutting and was slid from the cutting board into a connected-corner box (i.e., the traditional pizza box).

Between the slices there are spaces ranging in width from 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch. The spaces are “hidden” because they're filled with sauce and cheese that has oozed off the edge of the slices and into the spaces. A pizza with separated slices not only looks sloppy but the cheese and sauce that runs into the spaces between the slices sticks to the bottom of the box (or, in this case, the box liner).
