If someone's slicing their pizza into fifths, that someone is doing it wrong IMO.
I've never in my life seen that size slice. Its unecessarily difficult! 1/4s or 1/8s are much more common.
Of course not it's quite simple. Simply use your kitchen compass to draw bisecting chords in order to find the exact centre of the Pizza. As this can be tricky its best to turn the pizza topping side down on the counter to do this.
Next use a scalpel and kitchen ruler to slice from the exact center to the edge.
No using a kitchen protractor measure exactly 72 degrees and make and other cut. Again from the center to the edge. Keep doing this until you have 5 slices. Then flip the pizza over and serve. You may have lost some topping stuck the work surface at this point so scrape it up with the ruler. Weigh it accurately, divide into 5 and deposit back on the Pizza.
What could be easier......

It probably has a mass attached to the fraction. Go by that. Much simpler.1

Fractional measurements for such things are a horrible idea. I'd bust out the food scale, as was mentioned a couple times, mass out the whole pie, divide total by 5 and then portion out that amount to myself.
Whole pizza = 890g
890/5 = 178
Remove pizza from scale, cut what you think is 1/5th and weigh it, is it at or near 170g of pizza? If so, eat it. If not, adjust.0 -
A zombie thread that was funny.

This is great.
What kind of masochist splits things into odd numbers?0 -
If it is a frozen pizza shouldn't it also give the weight of the serving on the package? If it does not you could weigh the whole pizza and take 1/5 of the weight as your serving.
Or
You don't have to have 1/5 of a pizza just because they chose that dumb division. You could multiply the calorie information of one serving by 5 and get the calories of the whole pizza and then just divide it however you want. So if 1/5 is 330 calories then the whole pizza is 1,650. Divide that into 4 and a piece is 412.5 calories. Divide it into 6 and a piece is 275 calories.
