Quickly estimate how many pizzas you’ll need for your crew.
How the Pizza Calculator Works
Ordering pizza shouldn’t require guesswork. This tool uses three factors to estimate the perfect number of pizzas:
- Guests: Adults typically eat more slices than kids.
- Hunger Level: Light, average, or very hungry appetites change your total slices needed.
- Crust Type: Thin crust usually requires more pizza, while deep dish fills people faster.
Behind the scenes, the calculator estimates total slices needed, then converts that number into pizzas across multiple sizes:
- Small (10″) – about 6 slices
- Medium (12″) – about 8 slices
- Large (14″) – about 10 slices
- XL (16″) – about 12 slices
- XXL (18″) – about 12 huge slices
This gives you flexibility depending on what your pizza place offers. Costco offers 18″ XXL pizzas that usually give you the most bang for your buck!
Finally, appetite drastically changes pizza needs:
- Light eaters → 1–2 slices
- Average eaters → 2–3 slices
- Very hungry → 3–4+ slices
Sports team parties, teenage groups, or late-night events usually need more pizza.
