How Many Pizzas for 25 People
Order 10 large pizzas for 25 people. Twenty-five people is a school class with its teachers, a sports team after a game, or a department lunch.
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. 25 adults need 75 slices. 10 large pizzas are 80 slices, 5 slices more than the 75 slices counted.

| Situation | Slices | Large pizzas |
|---|---|---|
| 25 adults, pizza is the meal | 75 | 10 |
| 20 children and 5 adults | 55 | 7 |
| 6 big appetites and 19 other adults | 81 | 11 |

For a class or a team, have one adult hand out the first round so everyone gets a slice before anyone takes a second.
How many pizzas for 25 people by appetite and size
| Appetite | Slices each | Slices | Large pizzas | Medium pizzas |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light eaters, or a filling side | 2 | 50 | 7 | 9 |
| Average adults | 3 | 75 | 10 | 13 |
| Hungry eaters | 4 | 100 | 13 | 17 |
Large pizzas are cut into 8 slices. A medium pizza cut into 8 smaller slices covers about 6 large slices, so 75 slices for 25 people is 13 medium pizzas instead of 10 large pizzas. Every count is rounded up to a whole pizza.

Pizza for 25: a class, a sports team or a department
Twenty-five covers very different groups, and the right order depends more on who they are than on the number. Twenty-five adults at three slices need 75 slices: 10 large pizzas. A class of 20 children with 5 adults needs only 55 slices, or 7 large pizzas, because children under 10 eat about two slices each.
A sports team after training or a match is the other extreme. Count everyone as a big appetite at four slices: 100 slices, which is 13 large pizzas, 3 more than the count for average adults.
For a school class, check allergies and dietary rules with the school before ordering. Keep 3 or more of the pizzas plain cheese, and make sure any allergy-safe pizza is boxed and labelled separately so it does not get mixed in with the rest.
Ordering tips for 25 people
- Ask whether the pizzeria can deliver 10 pizzas at once. At this size some shops want more notice, so order a day ahead for a school or club.
- Bring extra plates and napkins; with 25 people the shop's supply may run short.
- For a department lunch, collect dietary needs with the invite, not on the day.
Questions about pizza for 25 people

How many medium pizzas for 25 people?

How many pizzas for a sports team of 25?
Use the hungry row: four slices each is 100 slices, or 13 large pizzas. If the team also gets wings or pasta, drop to the adult count of 10.
These counts are a rule of thumb. A larger pie, a thin crust, or a different cut changes how far each pizza goes.
