If you were ordering in pizzas for 11 children…

[TheChosenTwo]

How many would you order?
They are 10 years old, I’m ordering large pizzas from Pizza Hut, I’m currently thinking of ordering 6 large pizzas, 4 margerita and 2 pepperoni… also 3 boxes of chicken strips and 2 boxes of wedges. There is nothing else (other than cake afterwards!).
Do you think that’s enough? Ds would usually eat maybe 3 slices and I think each large is 8 slices… (it’s maybe 10, I can’t remember!)

If anything I think 6 pizzas would be too much.

Please tell me that you’re using a discount code

There are usually discounts on the website? I think so anyway.
Do you really think 6 is too many?

Oh, maybe with the chicken strips and wedges on the side too. I’m not sure. Dh is being useless and just saying “go with what you think”

6 is fine, any left will be an easy tea tomorrow

6 is fine.

I would get 6.

You need to know how many slices per pizza if it's ten that's 60 slices between 11, I wouldn't expect a ten year old to eat 5/6 slices of pizza plus chicken and wedges. If it's 8 you've still got 48 slices but better to have too much than too little and I'm sure there are others in your house who will eat some pizza if it's going spare

Half a pizza each... 5.5 so six seems logical.

Left over pizza is nice the next day.
I'd mix up the toppings a bit more though.

More than enough think

I ordered 2 large dominos (with garlic bread plus wedges) for 4 10 year olds. There were small amounts of leftovers (which dh and I finished). I wouldn't say 6 is excessive (better to have too much) but would think you'd get away with 5?

A Pizza Hut large pizza serves 4 children according to Google. I'd expect a 10-year-old to eat 2 slices, so that sounds right as all Pizza Hut pizzas are 8 slices.

I would hold some of the boxes back until they were needed.

My 14 and 16 year olds would struggle to eat half a large pizza with some sides and birthday cake after. That sounds like too much.

Personally I would do one less pizza but one more wedges (though actually I would have bought wedges and chicken from Aldi and only order pizza (which doesn't taste the same from home ovens)

I would get 4 large pizzas, 3 x chicken, 2x XL wedges.

Mine can eat a pizza each but they are very tall and skinny and constantly hungry!

Cold pizza the next day is the food of the gods
But this is Mumsnet where people will claim that their little Tarquin would be stuffed after smelling the pizza and would prefer some hummus and carrot sticks

1/2 pizza each with a few sides will be more than enough.

depends.

for my boys and friends that age I would have one dr oetker size pizza each + chrisps and dips and crudités and biscuits and sweets and not have any leftovers.

for dd half a pizza each and all the party stuff and we would have leftovers.

I find they always eat a bit less than you think, so I’d get 5.

I had 8 round recently and did 4 frozen box pizzas and that was too much, could’ve totally just done 3. Takeaway pizza is more filling too.

5 pizzas with more sides is perfect.

Get 3 x peperomi and 2 x margarita- I had almost exactly same dilemma a couple of weeks ago. I went for more margarita than peperomi and boys just wanted peperomi.

Get 6. Better to have leftovers (which are great I'm their own right) then hungry kids.
Actually get 7 so the next days snacks are covered.

I would get 6 pizzas. It would be rubbish not to have enough. My 10yo woukd eat more than 2 slices - 3/4 is more like it.

I'd order 6 large pizzas but the chicken strips and wedges won't go far.
If you're at home could you not stick a bag of french fries and a bag of chicken dippers in the oven instead as sides?
You could also buy dips at the supermarket.
Sorry if you're not at home

I would get 6 too. And if there is pizza left over, then it's easily reheated for lunch/dinner tomorrow.
