How much pizza for 10 people
Order 4 large pizzas for 10 people. Ten people is dinner at the house or a small team lunch, and pizza is the meal.
Count 3 slices per adult when pizza is the meal, 2 slices for each child under 10, and 4 slices for a big appetite. A filling side such as a large salad, wings, or bread is 2 slices per adult. A large pizza is 8 slices. 10 adults need 30 slices. 4 large pizzas are 32 slices, 2 slices more than the 30 slices counted.

What changes the count
- Count 2 slices for each child under 10. 6 children and 4 adults need 24 slices: 3 large pizzas.
- Count 4 slices for each big appetite. 3 big appetites and 7 other adults need 33 slices: 5 large pizzas.
- With a filling side such as a large salad, wings, or bread, plan 2 slices per adult. 10 people need 20 slices: 3 large pizzas.
| Situation | Slices | Large pizzas |
|---|---|---|
| 10 adults, pizza is the meal | 30 | 4 |
| 6 children and 4 adults | 24 | 3 |
| 3 big appetites and 7 other adults | 33 | 5 |
| Filling side with the pizza | 20 | 3 |
Two spare slices is enough leftover for 10. Add a fifth pizza only when several people will eat four slices.
These counts are a rule of thumb. A larger pie, a thin crust, or a different cut changes how far each pizza goes.
