Pizza math is a myth, just order 4 for 6 people, it's science.

How big is a slice? It sounds like theres a defined size to it.

I usually go with one pizza per person and even when it fails, pizza leftovers

How can you eat a single slice of pizza?
CaptainSomebody
I... I don't think I've ever encountered a pizza without eating the entire thing
VInTheSkyWithElephants
I eat 2-3 slices, assuming there isn't anything else offered with it (sides, salad, etc)
ChaosSound
Seriously, needs to be 2-3 ezpz, bosses say "don't bring lunch were gonna have pizza" then gives everyone 1 slice. then later leaves work 1/

Had a boss that’d by 1 pizza for a dozen people, eat 2 slices himself and then pat himself on the back. Current boss over orders, there/2
Are always leftovers at the end of the day. Weird working for both types in a short time frame
for an "appointment" when he actually left to go have a real lunch.

That's why I eat before any gathering where portions are not evenly distrubuted, because I'll starve otherwise
gloriousgabro9000
Humble brag. I just eat as much as I want, if the others were hungry they should've eaten when they had the chance.
dukegonzo
Not a brag? You are literally just saying you are a selfish asshole?!
That's because of you I eat before

Brothers girlfriend got a 18" pizza as she said two 12" pizza would be too much. 18" pizza = 254 square inches, 2 X 12" = 226 or 11% smaller

Mafs, yeah I think people don't realize that the exponent in the equation for area of a circle has implications

wookietiddy
Ha!
Where did you get those numbers? You're correct about the 18" pizza having more area, but 18^2*pi=1017 in^2 and 2*12^2*pi=904 in^2.

ROFL mafs is hard
SomeDetroitGuy
An 18 inch pizza has a 9 inch radius. So it's 9^2*pi and 6^2*pi
PSSSSSH I am so dumb. Sorry. We JUST had pi day too and I was all talking about how TAU is better and shit.

A general rule is divide the number of people in 2, then add one extra pizza. So for 6 people, you get 4 pizzas
KillingTlme
3 slices per adult, 2 per child + 1 extra pizza. Most people eat less pizza in groups than when at home. 6 adults = 2 pizzas, 3 maybe
EnchantingWzrdOfRiven
I dunno man, I know some people who eat a lot of pizza. I want to believe tho so I might give this a go.
Wait, what size of pizza?
VolcanoHerder
Right?! I thought the same thing. Also it depends on the people, my mom x4 wouldn't even finish one. My brother would eat at least one.
InquisitorMoloko
I don’t know if this is right, but I like that pizza math exists in the world
Kittynomnoms
More realistically, the best pizza math would be calculating which size has the most pizza per dollar.
Itslukus
It's been done. The large will always be the greater value over 2 smallers
It's going to vary based on prices of sizes at your local pizza place tho
Tjitso
I suck at math, but but how do you deal with all the blood and screaming?
Magjee
This is insane pizza math...................................................................................................and I like it :)
retetr
Does that include cheesy crust?
Coltaine
I order one medium pizza (30 cm diameter) per adult. Which is fairly appropriate serving size.
anononanonanona
A basic medium pizza in the US is going to be ~2500 kcal so uh no, definitely not appropriate
Well, as far as how much people will eat when coming over for pizza it's an appropriate serving size.
Jineapple
2500 kcal? What kind of abomination of a pizza do they serve? It should maybe be 1500 kcal at most.
velicitia
maybe a plain cheese pizza will be about 200 kcal/slice ... but for something with a couple toppings, 300 kcal is a pretty good estimate
300 kcal a slice is typical, if a low estimate for a 12" pizza cut into 8 slices, 8x300 is 2400, and it's very likely 300 is under so 2500
We're talking a standard american style pizza here, not that burnt cracker bullshit brick oven pizza or anything else weird.
nagesagi
1 medium for every 2 adults/3 kids or 1 large for every 3 adults/4 kids. Add 1 medium pizza for any large eaters. Stick with medium until...
you are hitting 5 pizzas so that you can get a variety of pizzas. Always have at least 1 or 2 cheese since everyone can eat that.

That math doesn’t work out. If I order a pizza alone, that means I only need to order 2 pizzas for myself (rounding up). I’d starve.
misho
No, you would order 1,5 pizzas. So dead, RIP in peace.
Neotrup
You might be getting too small of pizzas, I believe this formula is for party size.
Sure, but in group settings where you don’t want a grand display of gluttony, the math checks out
Well there’s your problem. I have a strong desire for pizza and zero desire for group settings.
insongwhang
It's a roman meme. Ofc gluttony will be included.
beziot
Maybe it depends on the country but where i live it's 1 pizza per dude to have the average right amount. Simple.
zvae
where do you live? and how small are these pizzas? here in america, eating 1 whole pizza will make the average dude sick as hell.
Oh well ^^ not the same here, i'm french.
Some of us are just born stronger than others.
CarnivorousRabbit
Well, we serve child sized, adult sized and family sized. AS are usually around 18" in diameter.
