Slices per pizza size
Most pizzas are round, so the size is the diameter. These are the sizes pizzerias and delivery services use.
| Slices | Size | |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 4–6 | 10in25 cm |
| Medium | 8–10 | 14in35 cm |
| Large | 10–12 | 16in40 cm |
| Extra large | 12–14 | 18in45 cm |
Does the size matter at home?
Not much. These sizes come from pizzerias and delivery. At home you just make a pizza, and it does not matter if it is an inch smaller or bigger. A pizza oven or pizza stone sets the limit.
How many slices of pizza per person?
A guide for how much pizza to order or make:
- An adult eats about 3 to 4 slices.
- A child eats about 2 to 3 slices.
- Thin crust? Go for the higher number.
- Big eaters at the table? Add some extra.
It also depends on whether pizza is the main dish. In our family, we always need more pizza than average.
