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?

I eat crusts but even then can easily eat 5-6 slices. But I don’t tend to eat sides / drink / sauces.

YesQueen · 24/05/2019 21:49

Almost a whole large (save 3-4 slices for breakfast)

TheRLodger · 24/05/2019 21:49

Hard to say but last time I had a dominoes in my own I ordered
Chicken dippers (polished off)
1/2 medium cheese stuffed crust pizza - other half was lunch the next day
Cookies- think I ate one but mostly had another day
Reason for so much food was there was an offer on and my eyes were bigger than stomach. But it lasted than just one meal

lboogy · 24/05/2019 21:49

For people eating a full large. Do you have deep pan and crusts?

Ninkaninus · 24/05/2019 21:50

I always have Italian crust or thin crust, I guess that makes a difference.

villamariavintrapp · 24/05/2019 21:51

Whole, large. Never really occurred to me to order a medium, large seems better value.. I don’t always eat all of the crusts though, might stop once the dip runs out 😂

villamariavintrapp · 24/05/2019 21:52

Oh yeh it’s Italian crust, not deep pan.

SherlockSays · 24/05/2019 21:53

I can easily eat a whole one, plus chips Hmm

recklessgran · 24/05/2019 21:54

2 slices 3 if I'm starving. I only have a small appetite though even though I look as though I eat for Great Britain!

mabelmylove · 24/05/2019 21:55

I’ve never ordered from dominos but can definitely finish a whole 12” pizza, including chips. Usually leave one or two slices for lunch the next day though. Unsurprisingly I am not a size 10!

happymummy12345 · 24/05/2019 21:58

It depends on what if anything I've had during the day and if we have any sides.
Usually we don't have sides, and I don't have breakfast anyway. So I can eat a whole medium on classic crust (I always have classic crust).

NellWilsonsWhiteHair · 24/05/2019 22:00

Ah, I miss Domino’s. I’ve had to give up dairy for DC2 - it’s been more than a year, and mostly I haven’t missed it much, but we used to get Domino’s once every 3ish months so I’ve definitely missed a few pizzas.

Whole, medium. With the crusts (why are people not eating the crusts?) and the garlic and herb dip, but no sides or dessert. Tbh I probably could manage some garlic bread or wedges or pudding, but trying to be a responsible role model to DC1 always stopped me.

The salt in it always caused regret afterwards though. I would be so dehydrated! But never enough to put me off next time...

SpaceCadet4000 · 24/05/2019 22:02

It really depends, but I can eat an entire 12-inch pizza to myself. DH and I always budget one 12-inch each, but we get it from a nice woodfired place... not that that makes it any more healthy! I have an otherwise healthy, balanced diet so if I'm having pizza, I'm not limiting myself.

YouCantSeeMeHere · 24/05/2019 22:03

I’m fat and I can only manage 2, maybe 3 at a push. I find it so filling

LolaSmiles · 24/05/2019 22:04

Waves at pizza spirit buddy. Grin
Whole medium if I've got the combo with sides.
2/3-3/4 of a large if not so I can have a slice for a snack the next day

Eliza9919 · 24/05/2019 22:07

Lol we've very nearly finished an 18 or 20" between the two of us when drunk before.

PotatoBreadsticks · 24/05/2019 22:09

Easily a whole medium to myself. However, this is thin and crispy base. 'Normal' crust (is that deep pan?) I can only do 3 slices - 4 at a real push.

mrsm43s · 24/05/2019 22:12

Family of 4, (2 adults, 2 teens). We order the family deal at PH or Doms, which is generally 2 large, plus perhaps a side or some pop. Would expect a couple of slices left, but not much more.

Bluntness100 · 24/05/2019 22:14

I wonder if saying They couldn't manage more than two or three slices should supplement it with how hungry they are and what else they have eaten?

Things like I've stuffed myself so I'm full, or I'm watching what I eat to stay a certain size don't answer rhe question,

I simply don't believe any healthy, hungry human being, given fee reign, can't manage more than two slices. I mean, cmon, seriously? 🤣🤣🤣

ShitAtScarbble · 24/05/2019 22:14

I feel full and satisfied just walking past someone else eating a pizza. No need to actually put it in your mouth - that will just make you fat and greedy.
Dust is the way to go.

Raggerty54 · 24/05/2019 22:15

My dp can eat a whole large dominos! He’s a skinny rake though (typical). I eat around 2 slices but I’m a grazer so I tend to go back for another 2 an hour later.

BlueSkiesLies · 24/05/2019 22:17

Oh I couldn’t possible even have a slice! I just look at the dominos pizza and have a good smell. That’s all the calories I need from the dominos.

(I would eat all but one of the slices of a medium. Then feel like no pint leaving one slice and eat that too.)

WoWsers16 · 24/05/2019 22:20

whole medium- and sometimes whole large lol! (also garlic and herb dip! and garlic bread)

Captaindobbin · 24/05/2019 22:21

I could put away the whole medium dominos pizza easily (minus the crusts) however I have a stricture of my small bowel so would be in agony for days if I actually did this. I would have probably 4 slices of dominos pizza now.
My DH Candi a whole medium or about 3/4 off a large minus the crusts.

itssquidstella · 24/05/2019 22:21

I could probably eat a whole one without sides. With sides, maybe half? I only have takeaway pizza once a year though, so not really sure what a 'usual' portion would be.
