I cant believe how cheap some people are.

7 pizzas (for 14 adults) + 8 pizzas (for 23 kids) = 15 pizzas.

I posted this. I'll re-calculate.

2 or 3 slices per adult , 1 or 2 per child.

2.5 x 14 = 35 slices for the adults (some will eat 2, others 3); 1.5 x 23 = 33.5, rounded to 34 slices, for the kids.

You need 69 slices. Ask the joint how many slices per pizza, then divide 69 by that number. The answer will tell you how many pizzas you need.

I'm getting hungry for pizza.

Pp: You need to expand your vocabulary. There's a difference between being cheap and being wasteful or gluttonous.

No adult is going to gorge themselves on 3 pieces of pizza at a birthday party!

How do you know?

No adult???? Are you saying there's no chance? Are you stupid?

If the party lasts hours then I would easily have 4.slices.
I am a size 4 BTW

Just buy extra people. Are you the person avoiding buying a proper size cake too?

A party at your house, where the food is likely to be out and available for most of the party, will need more pizza. I'd agree with the 2 slices per person rule for a party at a venue, where you've got 20m to eat and you have to deal with the kids too, but not for a party at home. But 1/2 a pizza for an adult still seems like overkill.. I'd say maybe 1/3?

So I hosted a party a few weeks ago. There was a similar thread then, which caused me to panic and order more pizza. Big mistake. I had about 25 kids (slightly younger, however- which might make a difference) and more adults- more like 25. I ordered 10 pizzas. I had 3 whole pizzas left over. So- certainly anyone who wanted more could have had more. People just don't eat much at a party- especially a crowded party.
I think people will eat more for dinner at your house.

I wouldn't call 30% left overs a big mistake.

Okay- I would. We can agree to disagree.

OP there. This is helpful everyone. I think I'll go with 8 or 9. I usually really over order and wind up regretting it, so I'm glad to have crowd sourced this one.

Why would you buy extra people? To eat the excess pizza?

Do you think they're all gonna feed themselves like hogs just prior to showing up at whatever rave this woman is gonna throw??? Grow up.

In a group of 14 adults, there'll be like 2 or 3 mofos who'll eat at least 5 slices. That'll balance out the pansy ones like who you can't get thru 1/2 a slice without whining that they're on a road to morbid obesity if they added another pound to their 99-pound frames.

And don't even get me started on how much the kids'll eat. There'll be 23 of them! A group that size will surely include some fatties. Rewind the clock about 35 years and I would've snatched an entire box and sat in the corner, growling at anybody who got within 4 yards.
