How many pieces of pizza can you eat?

I’m in, I’ll bring the Pizza , you guys bring your A game .

 

I give it to the dog.

 

No.

 

That's not retarded, it's racist.

But technically we are talking about volume regardless of the number of pieces. A round pizza with radius Z and thickness A has volume PI(ZZ)A.

 

5

 

3 to 4 I stop when I am full! Side note its best with copious amounts of IPA!

 

Personally, with respect to indexing, I’d go with mass. Too much variation in density for the crust to use volume.

One answer for me is 2. Typical pie is a large from Giovanni's, a very respectable local NY-style joint. It's a 16", and cut into 8 slices, so a quarter pie.
One pizza works for dinner and lunch for the two of us. That's about $7.50 a meal, or maybe 3x what some of those garbage-chains charge. Well worth it in my value system.

Another answer is related to pizza we get from a different local who does real Neo-style elegant pies in a 900F wood fired oven. Those pizzettes take about 80 seconds to bake, are blistered (or burnt if you are Mongo) and super tasty. I think they are around 11 inches, also 8 slices, and I can harf a whole pie; so: 8.
Now I am sure Metalhead is confused by different answers, but really, not all pizza is the same, and a slice isn't always a slice.

 

Not really. Brewery in town has some decent pizza, but not what I'd call way better than Pizza Hut or Pappy John's. Place about 45 min. drive has some really good pizza and spaghetti, but they're closed at the moment. It's been around since 1961 and been featured on Diner's Drive-In's and Dives. A few times a year we'll order a couple of pies from Giordano's to have shipped in over-night. Those are pretty tasty.

 

I was in Sarzana fixing a Piaggio for the Guardia Costiera back in to 90s. I went out for a pizza with my Italian/English dictionary. I ordered a pizza margherita "con funghi." I guess they were not to pleased with the ugly American, because they baked the pizza, then opened a can of sliced mushrooms and dumped the whole thing in the middle of the pie. I was unimpressed.

It was a misery the whole time I was there. I tried to ask the beautiful buxom waitress at the hotel if tips were normal in Italy. Of course "Tips" in my dictionary translated as "Puntas," so I kept offering her Lira saying "Puntas? Puntas?" She was unimpressed.

 

If I'm in NYC the answer is two - reg slice of sausage and a slice of Sicilian. But probably more than once per day.

 

No I have the scene from "Jane Austin's Mafia!" The Day the Olives Turn Black... Sorry I can't find a gif.

 

That's a goddamn lye.

 

Black humor.

 

I turned to the internet to google some irrelevant shiite about how-many-slices-of-pizza-can-you-eat 'facts' and, to my wonderment, was not dissapointed in my search (below).

Exhibit A:

• How to cut a pizza into 10 slices:
• This guy shows you 'how' without using a protractor.

Exhibit B (B and C smashed together, really):

This guy ate 29 slices in 5 minutes.

• 29 "square" slices, if that matters.

And these two young guys attempted a 100-slice, 10-minute challenge.

• a fine display of youth (along with food) being wasted on the young, imo
• start of challenge at 4:30
• conclusion at 5:30 (note: cheater alert)

Probably 4 or 5 max these days, and that is your average piece, so from a $5 hot & ready or a Pizza Hut large.

Typically a large stuff crust I eat 2 or 3 and that is enough.............

In my youth, active playing sports, etc. a couple friends and I, when I was 18, went to Pizza Hut buffet and the thick crust, hand tossed, whatever slices I ate 30 pieces as a bet to see how many I could eat........I barely made it to the car I was so fricking full....did not barf, but wish I could have.......would have felt better.

During those days though I was eating 3-4 full bowls of cereal in the morning for breakfast.......so I could eat like a champ and was burning calories like a machine...

 

Plenty of time to eat pizza on vacation.

 

Touring Italy is no fun in a car, so maybe take Mama to Positano for a week via boat or train, put her on a plane back home, then meetup with me for a bike ride

 

@Metalhead I think the better more scientific poll would be How Many Donuts Can You Eat. More quantifiable. Just sayin.
