What is the Builder pattern and when should you use it?

A creational pattern that constructs complex objects step by step using a fluent API, avoiding telescoping constructors with many optional parameters and improving readability.

Example
Pizza pizza = new Pizza.Builder()
  .size("Large")
  .cheese(true)
  .pepperoni(true)
  .build();
