How many pizza slices?

DH finishes a whole dominos medium pizza if we order a takeaway. I have 2-3 slices of one (we usually do buy one get one free). Then we both share the rest for lunch the next day. How many do you have on average?

the *whole thing

Bluntness100 · 24/05/2019 21:30

Because I like being a size 10

But that's why you don't, it's not why you can't,

I'm a size ten to a twelve as previously said, and I'm not going to lie, and make an arse of myself. I can, I simply don't. Not often, but I won't lie and pretend I can't. Because I can. If I want to I can easily consume a whole medium pizza,

As I suspect can you.

GabsAlot · 24/05/2019 21:31

i can eat a whole one prob in two sitting same evening

WheresAllTheGoodInTheWorld · 24/05/2019 21:33

Whole large pappa John's. I just can't help myself

tor8181 · 24/05/2019 21:34

the whole pizza

we dont buy takeaway pizzas but we do buy the made up fresh ones from asdas and we have a 10 inch(or12 sometimes) each as boys eat as much as a adult(8,14)

managedmis · 24/05/2019 21:34

Righto, bluntness

sanmiguel · 24/05/2019 21:34

We eat 2 large between 3 with maybe a slice or 2 left Blush

BrightYellowDaffodil · 24/05/2019 21:34

Depending on how hungry I am, I can eat 5 or so slices of a large pizza with crusts (stuffed cheese crust, obviously because a) it's lush and b) it's the best bit).

I can also probably eat a whole garlic bread with that, with dips (garlic and herb with the pizza, BBQ with the garlic bread). I don't have pizza very often (maybe once a year) but when I do, I'm committed to the cause Wink

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 24/05/2019 21:35

We get Papa John’s, and share a large - I don’t eat the crusts but otherwise can pretty much put away my side, plus an actual side. I’m a size 10, because we eat it once a month or so, I have a pretty healthy diet the rest of the time, and do a fair amount of exercise. (According to my Fitbit I’ve burnt off 2424 calories today, so I think it evens out.)

sanmiguel · 24/05/2019 21:36

In my defence... this would probably be once every 6 months at most and I'm usually a healthy eater.😅

BrightYellowDaffodil · 24/05/2019 21:37

BTW, in the US Domino's is the McDonald's of pizza.

It kind of is here, too. There's a lovely artisan pizza place a few doors along from Dominos, but sometimes you just want a McDonalds (or the equivalent thereof)!

SirVixofVixHall · 24/05/2019 21:38

Two slices op? TWO SLICES ? Of a pizza ? My 11 year old would eat more that that. Unless Dominos are giant sized ?

SirVixofVixHall · 24/05/2019 21:38

We are a pizza each family. Pizza express as I need gluten free.

Amanduh · 24/05/2019 21:39

I can stomach 3 at the most! DH could eat it all 😂

22Giraffes · 24/05/2019 21:39

About 3/4 slices but that's because I also have cheese doughballs, chicken strips and wedges Blush

IcelandicYoghurt · 24/05/2019 21:39

How big is a Domino's medium?

I've just eaten half a 12". Could easily have eaten more but we only order one between us to save us the temptation.

Bluntness100 · 24/05/2019 21:39

Exactly. I'm in the gym five days a week min, I low carb. We probably have pizza takeaway about twice a year max. I'm not going to pretend I can't put it away If I chose, because what benefit is that. Be honest. We can do it, we may chose not to, but given free reign, most of us can put it away unless there is a medical problem.

Nottobesoldseparately · 24/05/2019 21:39

DH and I used to be able to eat a large one each.

However my appetite has massively reduced since then, and we only order medium now when we get them.
DH can still manage a full one if he leaves a couple of crusts. I normally left a couple of slices.
BUT, since discovering their Italian bases I can eat a full medium again if I'm really hungry.

If we order from elsewhere I get a small pizza so that I don't have left overs!

WorraLiberty · 24/05/2019 21:40

3 or 4 deep pan slices, no sides.

Bluntness I actually, genuinely couldn't eat a whole medium pizza in one sitting.

I'd have to (and do) reheat the rest the following day and pizza is one of my favourite foods.

AnAC12UCOinanOCG · 24/05/2019 21:41

Come on people, stop being normal! Where's the usual competitive under eating? grin

All the people lying that they couldn't possibly eat more than two slices?

lboogy · 24/05/2019 21:44

I can do a whole one. I’m really good at eating.
What @checkingforballoons said

IHaveBrilloHair · 24/05/2019 21:46

I do save the crusts for the next day and then spread butter on them if that helps?

lboogy · 24/05/2019 21:46

In my defence of being a pie faced pizza lover, I do buy the extra thin base pizza

codenameduchess · 24/05/2019 21:46

My husband can eat a full large (12-14") to himself, he once ate 22 slices of dominoes, plus garlic bread, wedges and cookies.

I can do 5/6 slices with sides if I'm hungry but more often 3 or 4, usually not Dominoes as it's £££ and we have excellent local places. I do love a curry pizza and will scoff a 10" to myself!

Heismyopendoor · 24/05/2019 21:46

I can eat half a large one myself. Maybe more if I was really hungry.

My kids can eat half a large one or almost that.
