Pizza is one of the top party foods around. It’s delicious, affordable, and crowd-pleasing. However, deciding exactly how much pizza you might need isn’t always as easy of a decision. Of course, the amount you need will depend on the number of people you expect to attend, but as long as you have a rough guest count in mind, it’s fairly easy to figure out how much you’ll need to feed your entire party. Here are some things to consider.

How Do You Know How Much Pizza to Order for a Party?

Look at Your Guest List

pizzaThe first step in determining how much pizza you might need is to figure out how many people you’ll be feeding. So take a look at your guest list and come up with a number. If you’re not sure of exactly who will attend, plan for the highest possible number. The worst case scenario is that you’ll have some leftovers to eat the next day or send home with your guests.

Once you have that guest list in mind, consider how many pieces each person is likely to eat. A good rule of thumb is to have at least three pieces for each adult and two for each child. Then look at the sizes available and choose the combination of pies that give you that perfect number of slices, or close to it.

Take Other Foods Into Consideration

Of course, pizza on its own is usually enough for a party, but if you do have some other food options like subs or chicken wings also available, you might be able to get away with a bit less pizza. Don’t drop the number too much, as pizza is likely to be the No. 1 choice for a lot of guests, but as long as there are a couple of pieces for each person and some other food options, you should be covered.
