Default tiling around drain

I am using 12" ceramic tiles in the laundry room and need to tile
around a floor drain. The floor slope into the drain is approx. 12"
diameter. How do I fit the tiles? do I cut them into 'pizza' slices
around the circumference? Hopefully there's an easier/better way.
Thanks in advance.

Either...

A. Fit tiles to floor

- OR -

B. Fit floor to tiles; i.e., cut or build up floor so the drain area is
rectangular so that reasonably sized tiles can be used. Their ends would
have to be angled to make trapezoids.
