Am I looking at that wrong? Isn’t that going to wreck their knives when it goes over the metal ring that runs around the outside edge?
I think that the idea with that tool is that the outer ring is wider than the pizza by at least an inch or two, and thus, the pizza-cutting person wouldn’t be cutting there.
Don’t knock technology; now they can offer you these slices:
I measured the empty box and I would say the pizza was approximately 16" across. 2 slices of the “house special” (4 toppings) plus some homemade cheesy bread and a side salad, I was filled up, none of my guests said they were still hungry.
But squares next time, right?
Half a large sized pizza per person? At least? No wonder America is so obese.
This calculator is pretty close—3/8ths of a pizza per person.
I thought we had established it was pentagons
Lol I don’t know what kind of bullshit calculator that is but I put in “3 adults” and it said the recommended amount was “3 medium pizzas.” No fucking way a normal person eats one full pizza.
Oh it’s even better, it says for one person you should get two pizzas.
Regardless of the size of the pizza or the person?
When I go to authentic Italian pizzerias, you’re expected to order one pizza per person.
As I stated earlier, a Little Caesar’s Hot and Ready (14 inch, one topping, thin crust) pizza is one meal for me. But thanks for telling me that I’m abnormal.
Those aren’t the size pizzas being talked about in this thread.
Maybe when declaring your norms, you should specify thickness of the crust and dimensions of the pizza in question.
And the geometry of the piece. How many corners?
I used to cut tortes into 10 even pieces. Here’s how:
- Cut in half
- Visualize the size of a regular 1/8 slice.
- Make a cut next to the slice you’ve made, through the middle, just a tad smaller than a 1/8 slice. So that you have 1 triangular slice at top and bottom, and 2 big sides a little less than a full half.
- Cut each big side into 4 even pieces.
Voila!
This site lists diameter (but not thickness)
What does Ask Marilyn have to say?
“Give the pizza to Monty Hall and have him slice it.”
I’m not normal. I can eat a whole pizza, along with spaghetti and breadsticks
One word: Leftovers.
