so .. a pizza feeds up to 8 people ... is that the 'regular' size? When Americans order a pizza, it's typically for a party of 8 people?

When Americans order a pizza, it's typically for a party of 8 people?
- np_tedious 6y agoIt definitely doesn't need to be a big crowd like that. 8 slices, maybe 3 or 4 people if it's a full meal (2 slices / person is probably typical). Leftover slices are good the next day too.
- schwartzworld 6y ago8 slices !== 8 people. Most people I know will eat 2 or 3 slices. You can also save leftover slices.
- paulmooreparks 6y agoThe first time I tried to order pizza delivery in Singapore, I asked my friends, "So, how big are the pizzas here?" The answer left me stumped: "Small is six slices and large is eight slices." I retorted that I could easily slice a 6cm pizza into 16 slices and that wouldn't feed us any more than their large pizza. They looked at me kind of funny.
- dafoex 6y agoWould it not be more useful to size a pizza in terms of diameter, not number of slices or how many people its supposed to feed? As you point out, a 6cm diameter pizza can be sliced into 16 pieces, but also some people just naturally eat more than others anyway.
- feteru 6y agoC'mon, don't leave us hanging how big was the pizza?
- paulmooreparks 6y agoThe "large" would have been called "medium" back in the States. I guess "small" would be "personal".
- msla 6y agoObviously they cut the pizza into sixths when they feel that they're not hungry enough for eight slices. That's logic, that is.
