How many pizza's do I need for 14 adults at a party I am hosting?

Question

We are having pizza at my toddler's bday party and don't know how many to order. The party is at 1pm and there will be chips, veggies & dip, and sliced fruit. We don't want to over or under order, how much will people be expecting to eat at the party?

Answer 1

Depends on how hungry you think they will be and how large and filling the pizzas are you are planning to get.  On average, guesstimate 2 slices for females and 4 for males.

Answer 2

I would estimate 2-3 pieces per person. I think a typical large has 8 pieces....lets say 2.5 slices per person, that's 35 slices, 4.38 pizzas. I'd get 5.

Answer 3

a medium pizza at most pizza places serves 4 to 6 and a large 6 to 8. So figure 5 mediums and or 3 large pizzas, depending on how hungry everyone is

Answer 4

Men, women or both?  Women, you should figure 2 pcs each.  Men, figure 3 - 4 pcs each.  My husband would eat the whole pie, but he's a huge eater.  It's always better to order more, but I would bet 6 pizzas would be enough.  Ask the pizza place, too.  They're usually pretty helpful.

Answer 5

4-5 depending on how big of eaters they are

Answer 6

5 large pies

Answer 7

I'd get 7, some people can eat half of a med.

or 5 large.

Answer 8

Round pizzas. 8 slices per pizza.  

2 slices per person.  

I would order 3 large pizzas and 1 small pizza.

Answer 9

I'd say 4-5 and have a salad, too : )

Answer 10

4 large!

Answer 11

four!

Answer 12

5 large

Answer 13

Most large pizzas  have 8 pieces.  With your sides, people will eat 2 pieces each , some ladies only one.  You'll be safe with 4 large .

4  pizzas X 8 pieces=   32 pieces altogether.

32 /14=  2 . 2 pieces each.

Answer 14

depends on how many men they eat alot so lets say theres 7 men so thats prob already 5....i wld say a total of 8 maybe or just make an even 10

Answer 15

call and ask the pizza place you're getting the pizzas from, they will be more exact.

Answer 16

depends. some pizzas are in the shape of a square where you get more slices than a circular pizza which may have about eight slices (if pre-cut).

Answer 17

14.tee hee!

Answer 18

14 people....I would order no less than 4 large pizzas.

Answer 19

Figure 2 slices per person.

Answer 20

It will depend upon the diametre, but I would think 5-6 for a 12" pizzas.

Answer 21

Belive me you will need at least 5 large. Better to over order a slice or two than not have enough.
