In Δ1 and Δ2:
∠AOD=∠COD=90∘ (Diagonals of square intersect at right angles)
AD=CD (Sides of a square; hypotenuse)
OD=DO (Common)
Hence,  Δ1≅Δ2 (By RHS congruence rule) ---------------------1
Similarly, Δ4≅Δ3 (By RHS congruence rule) ---------------------2
In Δ1 and Δ4
∠AOD=∠AOB=90∘ (Diagonals of square intersect at right angles)
AD=AB (Sides of a square; hypotenuse)
OA=AO (Common)
Hence, Δ1≅Δ4 (By RHS congruence rule) -------------------3
Similarly, Δ2≅Δ3 (By RHS congruence rule) ----------------4
From 1, 2, 3 and 4 we can say that all the triangles i.e. Δ1, Δ2, Δ3 and Δ4 are congruent to each other.
5, 6, 7 and 8 have relatively small area. Since they have same shape and size, they are also congruent. So, we can say that all the slices of the pizza are congruent to each other.
