The Pizza Equation

We know that pie are square, and that’s very important when you’re talking about pizza pie, which is not square. How do you get the most pizza for your dollar? By doing the math.

Yes, you’ll save money by buying a larger pizza, but there are a few other things to consider, as our friends at Uproxx point out.

There are a couple downsides that the video fails to mention. Because when you’re feeding 20 people one pizza, you have to pick one flavor to satisfy everyone. Also, one pizza means you can’t cut the pizza into those satisfying wedges. (Well, you could, but they’d be thin, and you’d look cheap.)

Also, there’s no reason to buy more pizza than you need, unless you’re willing to eat leftovers for a while. But if you are, the extra slices won’t cost you all that much. Just remember to refrigerate it.

A 10" pizza is almost twice the area of a 14". However, if you are a fan of the crust, the value increase lineaerly but is still a good delal.

If you only focus on the toppings, they reducing the dimeter by 1.5, (3/4 inch on the edge)), gives a better result.

When we lived back in CNY, there was a pizza place that sold a large sheet pizza with 32 decent sized square slices. You could get one half each with different toppings. Was very popular with the kids.
