How many pizza slices?

[KimchiLaLa]

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?

Half a large pizza, with half a portion of wedges and cookies too sometimes, sharing with dh. I am surprised that people eat 2 or 3 slices and aren’t hungry. I do eat a lot but didn’t think I ate a lot more than the average person!

My 6 foot husband, 6 teenage boys and I usually share a small thin, crust pizza. We are absolutely stuffed afterwards. I mean, obviously we have a salad with it but even then, we feel super greedy. This is obviously only a once year occurrence, of course,

Alternatively, I could easily eat a medium pizza but I’m actually not a massive fan. Now, a Chinese takeaway, I could put away a truckload.

We never have Dominos but both DH and DS1 will eat a large supermarket one (and add extra toppings). I only have pizza if we have DGS4 staying and we have half a small one each. Even that can make me ill if they are heavy on the cheese and or have fatty meat on them.

2 will do us for dinner and lunch (2 adults, 2 young children)

I've just had two normal slices and three slices of the dominos garlic pizza bread. Truth is I want more

Then why aren't you then op?.

Seriously. It’s not like the OP has eaten a palm sized amount of lettuce leaves. She’s eaten a very decent amount and she is exercising a bit of self restraint to avoid feeling stuffed.

If you have young children, I bet that isn’t the approach you encourage with them when it comes to junk food.... however much you want... go for it!”

I could easily eat the whole one and it's not like me to leave pizza... Even if I have to have some food breaks in between.

Because I like being a size 10

I am a size 8! I still delete a medium pizza with the crusts and probably some of their cookies afterwards when I have a pizza from there. I just don’t do it every day for goodness sake.

Even as a size 6, 7 stone waif I would polish off a medium pizza with a few slices of cheesy garlic bread and did so for years every Sunday after the pub. Happy days . I don't eat pizza that much these days but DH & I certainly get one each if we do (him large, me medium). I think that's pretty normal (obviously as a treat and not every day). Obviously there will always be people who are watching what they eat for weight purposes who would not eat much pizza but I think to say you can't eat more than 2 pieces is ridiculous unless you have a food intolerance of some sort. Most children would surely eat more than 2 pieces. Dd (8) and her friends definitely do.

We need 2 large between 2 for leftovers, 2 medium gets demolished-I can easily eat a whole one. But I’m a good eater!

Because of the amount of grease on Dominos, I don't think I've ever managed a full medium in one sitting. Probably leave a slice or two. I can eat a whole shop bought pizza the same size though, like one of the fresh build your owns. Less greasy.

Whole medium for me minus a slice. That final slice is usually too much.

Slightly off topic, but for those who eat it the next day, do you eat it cold or reheat it? If its got meat on?

Omg - I could only mange one slice of pizza last night . You lot are amazing !

I will order a pizza each and two sides and given the sides will have one to three slices left for breakfast. But could easily do a whole medium or large on my own when drunk without sides.

I'm famous for being able to eat a whole medium pizza in a very short space of time. My husband is usually halfway through his when I finish. I'm a bit like a machine, as soon as I start I just keep going until its gone.

Yum.

I might have pizza tonight.

If I left any my family would think I'm unwell.

Oh here we go. It's started

I'm a 6/8 and struggled last night to eat half of my fish and chips, but I somehow seem to have a huge capacity for pizza. Pizza is different!

I can’t ever imagine wanting to be a size 8-10 so much that I’d deny myself as much of a take away treat as I wanted, unless I was literally eating take away tons of times a week. It’s meant to be a treat, something that doesn’t happen too often. I’d be eating the whole medium pizza!

I have 1.

^^ because I don’t eat much in the first place, never have.

We order 3 for the 4 of us, or 4 if DD's boyfriend is over

One slice is enough for me .
But only because pizza is so stodgy.
My little skinny 5 year old dd could demolish her way through a whole medium dominoes though no problem 🤣.
Minus the crusts as she reserves those for or dog lol .

People order medium pizza?!
Whole one easy, sometimes stuff crust, and the dip. If it's a large will leave maybe 3 slices. Am a size 8, generally have a healthy diet and good portion control and wouldn't finish fish and chips....pizza is it's own category though!

A whole medium with sides no bother. Also a size 8- I just like pizza 🍕

I think some of it depends on your base. We have the Italian thinner one, it's much less filling. I usually leave the crusts and could comfortably eat most or all of a pizza. Might have diabolical salt thirst an hour later though, glug loads of water, and then get bloated.

Last time we had Dominoes we ordered a stuffed crust, which I don't think I've had for about 13 years. Truly vile, and the base was much more doughy, so ate a lot less.

Where we live there are no proper pizzeria takeaway places, and I really miss decent pizza with delicious toppings instead of the very samey mostly pork based offerings at Dominoes and Pizza Hut etc
