Pizza

Option A
Option B
The verdict
Option B gives 13% more pizza than option A.
Option A: 226 sq in of pizza. Option B: 254 sq in of pizza.

The pizza question, settled

Is one 18-inch pizza really more food than two 12-inch ones? Yes — about 254 against 226 square inches. Enter what the menu offers: diameters, quantities and prices, and see which option gives you the most pizza — and the most pizza per unit of money.

It answers questions like 'is one large pizza better than two mediums', 'how many inches is a large pizza' and 'which pizza deal is the best value' — by comparing real pizza area, not the menu's names for sizes. Bring the calculator to the pizzeria: diameters, quantities and prices in, best deal out.

Good to know

  • One 18-inch pizza beats two 12-inch pizzas — roughly 254 vs 226 square inches.
  • Pizza area grows with the square of the diameter: twice the diameter is four times the pizza.
  • Add prices to see which deal gives the most pizza per unit of money.
