Pizza Party Question

[Deleted]

Yeah 2 pieces per might not be enough.

[jennistarr1]

my pizza party math reveals you should do 7 pizzas

[smock]

You need more pizza.

The answer is always more pizza.

[Pixiehollow]

We always do 2.5 slices per person and we always have too much! But we usually order breadsticks also. I would do salad, veggie tray, fruit of some sort. For a special drink I would do warm apple cider. Super easy in a crock pot.

[dcannie]

8 large pizzas, have them double cut.

[lilafowler]

If you order too much you'll have leftover pizza.

Which is even better than fresh pizza.

I had 12 kids and 9 adults for my son's birthday party. We ordered 10 large pizzas and barely had 1 left. We also should of ordered more cheese as all the kids wanted cheese.

[skib]

Honestly, I always think about the actual people who are coming and not just adults and kids. For example, if it's my husband's friends, they'll each eat half a pizza with no problem. I always like to have more than enough. And I also agree with another poster -- the worst thing that would happen is that you'd have leftover pizza, which isn't a problem at all.

As far as other food goes, I'd have a big green salad, some fruit, maybe some garlic bread, and an easy dessert.

Pizza is cheap. Do not only figure 2 slices per adult. I would buy 8 large pizzas and if you have left overs no biggie.

Double cut pizza looks like you are being frugal. Don't do that

[zarapipe]

More more more

Do some cheese for the kids and have them double slice it

[speckledfrog]

2.5 per adult and 1-2 per kid

I agree with all of this.

If there are any very young kids, I would have one pizza double cut for them, but that's it.

[lilac05]

More pizza is always better!

I like double cut, especially for the kids. I've never ordered pizzas for a large group, but it has never occurred to me that it looks cheap. I see it as an effort to reduce waste, not save money. I also like it for myself when we're standing to eat or if there are lots of choices.

Can you do a nice salad and/or a fruit tray, too? They'll totally go, too.

Caesar salad is my jam.  I'd gobble that shit up.

ohhhh yes. that and pasta salad.  potato or macaroni salad too.

I love garden salads and pizza. I would eat lots of salad first and then chow on some pizza

i always lol at green salad at a pizza party. i wonder what % of ppl actually eat the salad?  IME, hardly anyone.  

although my husband will eat the salad and no pizza. weirdo.

HEY!  I eat the salad!  And a slice of pizza!

[karmasabiotch]

2 pieces aren't enough per person.

[bonquiqui]

You can't have too much pizza, but you CAN have too much salad lol

[adhdfashion]

9 Costco pizzas and lots of green salad . Fruit tray.

[RoxMonster]

I feel like this is a math word problem lol. If I have 10 adults and 5 kids, and with each adult averaging 3 pieces per person and each kid averaging 1 slice per person and a large having 10 slices and costing $15, how many pizzas do I need?

But seriously, more pizza is the answer. Leftover pizza is awesome and I would rather have too much of something (esp one that is great as leftovers) than too little. I'd assume 3-4 slices per adult. I know I can easily eat that much.

[maggiemoo]

I would buy more. If the cost is the same. Eat leftovers, or freeze it.

[agnes]

Who was the poster who wouldn't let her co-worker have a slice because she only ordered 2 per person?

2 per person is not enough.

[agnes]

Salad and pizza is the BEST. I'll eat a bowl/plate of salad and 3 slices easily.

[Nonny]

You should figure at least 3 slices each. Kids will eat way more than you think, and they'll keep going back.
