You have not encountered the term "pizza" to refer to a whole pizza, serving as 1 (large-ish) meal for 1 person? That's really surprising to me, but interestin

  I haven't. A whole pizza as a meal sounds like a task for teenager.

    Fascinating. Over here (NL) whenever any group orders pizza's, the default is to just order one for yourself. At 'best' we might make a deal with another person to swap a quarter or half of the pizza. It's definitely not a 'group food' though. EDIT: well, with the exception of the occasional event/party organizer, but that applies to all foods.

      Here (in TW), not only is a pizza a group food, but it's just a component in a meal with other group foods like chicken, fried potato balls, sausages, or noodles, etc. In fact, US pizza chains struggled here until they started localizing and adding more foods to their menus!

      In Brazil it's definitively a group thing, specially families. Friday night is pizza night in a lot of homes. I left Brazil 7 years ago so maybe some things have changed, but never once I have ordered a "smaller" pizza for personal consumption. They do exist here in the US, in some restaurants, or even takeout, so I suppose some people order them here.
