Is 4 large pizzas double sliced too few? 12 kids and 15 adults

Who freezes pizza leftovers?

4-12 (sibling mix)

This was actually the recommendation from the pizza place which throws me off some but I haven’t ordered pizzas in a long time.


Do what the pizza place says. Get the slices double cut. I don’t know who these people are who hoover four slices of pizza and act like that’s normal.


Kids can eat a lot, especially older kids.

I’d require that much pizza just for me.

Assume at least one full slice (not half-slice) per kid and 2 full slices per adult. (The women will probably eat one slice, and the men will eat 2-3 slices because they are oblivious to how much they consume.) I suggest you get at least 6-7 pizzas.


Not everyone lives in your rigid sexist world.

I don't see this at parties and I have 3 kids within this age range. Even my pizza loving 12 year old. At a 2 hour party they will take maybe 1 or 2 slices. The little ones will take a few bites of a small double cut slice. For a party this size I would get 6 pizzas, double cut, and for sure would have 2 pizzas left over. Every time. So just order the 6 and plan on eating a lot of pizza for the next week.

It’s a party for 27 people, including 15 adults.

Two slices for anyone 8 and up. 1-2 slices for 2-8 year olds plus some extra for adults.

Family of 4 (2 adult and 2 es aged kids would finish 1 box of Costco pizza or 1.5 box large domino pizza. 4 large won’t be enough.

Op are you poor or something? It’s not like pizza’s expensive. Better to have leftovers than not enough.

And not everyone will eat pizza, guaranteed. There will be gluten sensitive, low carb, Celiac, pizza haters, and the just not hungry ones. Everyone will not be scarfing all the pizza.

Why would you freeze pizza? Why not refrigerate and finish in a day?

27 people ? And you honestly think 4 pizzas suffice?

That's 1 slice each.
