Let’s say a pepperoni-loving mathematician orders this two-topping pizza to celebrate #PiDay with a friend who loves mushrooms. Is it possible to split a strangely sliced pizza, so each gets exactly half of the pizza adorned with their favorite topping?

Happy π Day from BEAM!
At BEAM, we eat a lot of pizza, which led us to ponder:
Is it possible for two mathematicians to split a strangely sliced pizza so that each gets exactly half of the pizza adorned with their favorite topping?
