How many pizzas would you have ordered?

[dirtyfries]

Following a tense situation this evening I though I'd consult the hive mind.

Friday night dinner for 6 adults - how much would you expect you'd need to order?

(Dominoes/Pizza Hut style pizza)

A large pizza each for adults the same as I would if we were in a restaurant so 6 pizzas. . If you were ordering sides as well we may reduce that to 5 pizzas.

Oh wow op I've just saw what your Fil actually ordered. Poor chap did he not know how it works?😁 it would have been anarchy in our house if he'd tried that.

6

Not read the thread before answering.

Assuming you’re purchasing medium sized pizzas and basing on what my mates eat.

If it’s women 2 pizzas and a couple of sides and ice cream would’ve been enough and usually our order.
If it’s all men 3 pizzas and 3 sharing sides would be the order.

Average family of 6 I’d go for the 3 pizzas and sides and any leftovers for snacking.

For me I just pick off the toppings and eat those by themselves, far too filling for me and I am severely bloated after ! All that grease I suppose. Then I am full up until dinner the next day

4 large pizzas
2 wee garlic bread pizzas
2 chicken sides

This is the correct order for that group size. No more discussion needed.

I'd love to know the final order?

This made me laugh because I actually do pick off the toppings and eat them by themselves... Then i eat the toppingless pizza, smothered in hotsauce, like the animal that I am.

I eat the toppings first too!

3 plus sides. And lots of pop - dominos makes you very thirsty.

I'm a gannet and I would struggle to polish off a medium by myself.

Then you’re not a gannet! A large domino’s and a strippers combo is my standard order if I have pizza.

8 pizzas

An absolute minimum of 4 large Dominos and some sides.

That said, DP can easily finish a whole large Dominos on his own and I usually eat 2/3 and then have the rest for lunch the next day, so maybe 6 pizzas and no sides.

We eat in Pizza hut many times a year and have never seen people share pizzas
If course you can ask to share a pizza. I've just ask 'for 1 pizza between us and 2 plates please' no problem.

4 large and sides. Cold next-day pizza never goes to waste with 3 teens in the house.

@Shade17

I can't believe people are saying 6 pizzas. Me and DH are pretty big eaters but no way can either of us eat a whole pizza. With sides we only have half a pizza between us.

I’d imagine most 8 year olds would eat more that a 1/4 of a large Domino’s

A quarter of a large pizza is quite a lot especially with sides.

As I said, me and DH are big eaters but no way could we eat a whole pizza each. We might sometimes manage half each.

3 large or 6 mediums

If a half pizza is a struggle and a quarter is the norm for a takeaway you really aren't big eaters however many times you say it. My 8 year old dd can polish off more than a quarter with ease along with sides (and no she's not one of the childhood obesity candidates)

*@mam0918 Me and DH eat a whole pizza to ourselves EVERY Friday, we don't have sides (weird with pizza it's a meal in itself, it has toppings)... neither are obese or overeaters or unusual eaters (if we are ill ot tired from overworking we might have 2 pizzas a week).

I'm currently carrying an extra stone after recently giving birth but at 5 ft 7 I still only weigh 10 stone which is a perfectly healthy weight.*

Maybe if we just ate pizza we could manage one each although I doubt it. Would never eat it on its own though - far too boring.

I quite like pizza but would never eat it every week. I prefer to make them anyway as otherwise they are so greasy.

I can assure you we are both big eaters. We are both overweight although not massively.

We have large portions of our meals.

We find pizza very filling

We don't do sides if just having pizza as family treat. For 6 adults for a casual evening I'd get at least 4 large pizzas, sides, and also have crisps and dips

"Your FIL is not only inconsiderate to a BF mum, and tight, he’s also stupid. The most expensive way to order Dominos pizza is to order small amounts, because there are always deals if you order enough."

Absolutely this. They're currently doing 50% if you order at least £30 of food. He could have had 3 large pizzas for £15

I can assure you we are both big eaters. We are both overweight although not massively.

Just not big eaters of pizza then

@Zilla1

Bit late to the party but one chicken pizza would feed everyone with leftovers for meals later in the week?

@Darbs76

Do people really eat one large pizza each to themselves? I literally have 2-3 slices when I have pizza. Not a chance I’d eat a whole large pizza in one sitting.

I can But then I can only eat half a meal when I get chinese, it's weird Pizza - whole large one Chinese or Indian - half a rice plus half a main

This thread is mad and judgemental as fuck.
Life is to short to be banging on about someone you dont know calorie intact or justifying alleged small appetites.
Eat as much pizza as you want or dont but blimey the judgements and justifications on here is unreal!

Mine's cheese and tomato with extra pineapple btw!
