Wish a plot , any plot, would be pursued. The jumping around is very disengaging.
Though it would be a great opportunity to see how Raven or Steve are doing.

(For some reason this just feels wrong to me)

Identical as in, having the exact same shape? Unlikely, unless I'm missing something. The outer edge of the pizza is a circle, so for the pieces to be identical, they would each have to contain the same section of the edge. This implies a radial symmetry, and the pieces have to meet somewhere. If they don't, the central piece will not have a section of its edge that corresponds, shape-wise, to the pizza's edge.

If you make allowances for very similar shapes rather than completely identical, that's more doable.

She could always make mini-muffins. The ones that are 1 bite size.

Thank you for changing my perpsective. That is a very nice way of looking at it.

Your next challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to defend their habit of delightfully describing this habit as "so OCD."  :roll:
