Pizza party calculator
Turn a mixed guest list into whole pizzas, slices, flavor counts, dietary reservations, and a confidence buffer you can order.
How the pizza count works
- Slices
- Each guest group times its slice rate. A standard appetite is 3 slices per adult, 4 per teen and 2 per child.
- Sides
- Substantial sides cut every group’s slices by 20%.
- Pizzas
- The buffer is added to the total, then the slices round up to whole pizzas.
- Types
- Dietary pizzas are reserved first, rounded up. The rest split by flavor, and the largest remainders get the last pizzas.
- Leftovers
- The leftover range assumes guests eat up to 10% more or less than planned.
