Kids Party - How many pizza's

Hi,

Hosting a party for 7 year olds next week and ordering in pizza.

It'll be served 6pm ish after an activity.

How many pizzas and what size would you get to ensure all catered for?

Crisps and biscuits available as well!

Really don't want to run out but so easy to over or under cater 😩

How many kids?

How many kids

How big are the pizzas

mindutopia · 07/11/2024 13:55

I would depend on the size of the pizza, but I wouldn’t think most 7 year olds would have more than 2 small slices, with crisps, wotsits, party rings, etc. Some may have 3. Thinking of your standard supermarket normal sized pizza.

Depends how many children and size of pizza, frozen cheap pizza I’d go with one per two children.

Givealittlebit · 07/11/2024 13:56

I'd always go over, my 7 year old can easily eat a whole supermarket pizza or a lot of takeaway pizza, and he's not big for his age!

FanofLeaves · 07/11/2024 13:59

I’d over cater just to have leftover pizza to be honest 🤣

but I wouldn’t think most 7 year olds would have more than 2 small slices, with crisps, wotsits, party rings, etc.

See I'd think the opposite even with crisps and biscuits I would cater for at least half a supermarket sized 12" pizza per child at 7.

12 in pizza. I’d go with half per person. I’d also get some wings or something too.

InTheRainOnATrain · 07/11/2024 14:02

Depends on the sizes of the pizza obviously but roughly I think I’d go for 1 pizza per 3 kids. That’s 2-3 slices per kid which is probably about right when you include biscuits and crisps.

Fireworknight · 07/11/2024 14:05

I’d assume half per child, but probably would cater one per child.

GameOfJones · 07/11/2024 14:06

I would cater for half a supermarket sized pizza per child. With sides, it's probably slightly over catering but not by much and I'd always rather have a bit too much than too little.

Assuming the average size of a frozen supermarket pizza (which is about the size of a medium from a takeaway - maybe slightly smaller), then I'd go for half a pizza each with biscuits, crisps etc. But remember, you don't have to feed them until they're stuffed full. Just a "normal amount" is fine.
