People have done wonderfull jobs showing that you can not divide
a pizza into 7 equal wedges, but that does not solve the original
problem - can you divide a pizza into seven pieces of equal size
and any shape (some people don't like crust anyway)?

The answer to that question is yes. Construct a line whose length
is  sqrt ( 1 / 7r )  where r is the radius of the pizza. Take a
circle with this radius from the center of the pizza and give it to
somebody. Then divide the ring into six pieces for everyone else.
