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?

I can only manage one slice, with a huge salad, then I don't need to eat again for a day or two. I've got a really delicate ladies appetite.

That is in fact a lie. Large thin crust. Eat the lot no bother.

My partner and I usually go half and half on a large one. Can’t imagine only eating one slice!

2 slices! Wow, you're a stronger person than me.

I used to be able to eat a large. I'm not such a greedy pig these days but could easily eat a medium.

As a compromise I usually order a small, with potato wedges and eat the lot.

I can and have eaten a whole dominos pizza. If we have sides though I definitely can't.

Ah ok so it's just the stodginess of the bread base that makes it hard to eat for some people. Not really the amount

Is there something different about Dominos? I eat pizza from supermarket/ pizza takeaway / Italian restaurants and would always order thin crust. Are Dominos more stodgy than ones from other places? I've never ordered from there

@cccameron I think dominoes bases are rank. I never order dominoes, I think the last time I did must have been 20 odd years ago.

I used to love TGI pizza, I don't know if they are national. Now we order from an independent one nearby.

Our favourite order is at Papa John's. For two adults, one hungry teen, and one pre teen we have two large (14", 10 slices) original crust pizzas, a garlic bread and a side on a deal. I eat two slices plus my share of the side and the garlic base, the kids normally have 3-4 slices each plus the extras, and dh 4-5 slices plus the extras. That means there's usually at least one slice each left over for lunch the next day.

If we didn't have a deal with sides and just had pizza, we'd probably finish both large ones between the four of us.

is it that people stop becasue they think they can/should/guilt though or do you actually honestly not want anymore.
if there was no guilt,weight stupidness etc would you eat more?

I can manage half a medium pizza, which I think is 4 slices, and we usually have wedges as well. If I really stuffed myself to the point of feeling sick I could probably manage another slice. I honestly can’t see how I could manage to eat a whole medium pizza in one sitting.

@kateandme, I’ve never stopped eating out of guilt or thinking I should. I hate feeling uncomfortably full, we were never made to clear our plates as kids and were taught to stop eating when we’d had enough. I stop when I feel full.

This thread wonderfully encapsulates the difference between men and women

Women navel gazing and arguing about how many pizza slices they do or don’t eat!

Can't believe I've wasted some of my morning on it now. Ridiculous

Depends if there are sides and if I want to save room for a dominoes cookie....
I usually eat 3 slices of the pizza and a slice of garlic pizza bread and a cookie. If no sides I'd prob eat 4 but then be stuffed! Fancy a dominoes this weekend now!!

I used to eat a whole large when I was young and slim.
Now I eat about 4 slices as I’m neither!

Usually 1 large slice or 2 smaller.

I never buy from Dominos so I don't know how big their slices are but I'd only eat about a 1/3rd of a supermarket 12" pizza

Whole medium, can eat a whole one without blinking. I'm a nightmare, I will eat whatever is in front of me until it is all gone.

I love the fact that people who eat shot loads can’t get their heads around the fact that some people can only manage two

An adult human stomach even on someone tiny can hold more food than that. Even small kids can eat more than that.That's why it's bloodyridiculous.

It's fine to say I wouldn't. It's a whole different thing to pretend you physically can't. If you physically can't then there clearly is a medical reason which you should say.

Thin base around half a medium. Thick base a quarter its too stodgy.
Of course with a huge salad and then i don't eat for 2 days.

DH 15 can eat a whole one
DD 12 can eat 3/4 slices
DH doesn't like Dominos
I eat 2-3 slices with some salad

We usually order more than we need and heat up leftovers so it's two meals

Well I must be a fat bastard then, because when I order Domino's, I have an 8 slice, thick crust pizza, a huge garlic and herb dip and warm chocolate cookies for after (only eat 2 of these, DP has the other 2) and I eat the lot. This is once in a while though, not a weekly occurance. Was put off Domino's recently though, when my veggie volcano come with a nice side of fly. Haven't ordered from there since. Usually though, any pizzas I can average 6 slices........

even dominos doesn’t expect you to be able to and it’s in their interest to indicate that a portion is as big as possible!

No its not - its in their interest to minimise the apparent calories and fat per portion. They know perfectly well that most people eat more than one portion and add other menu items as well.

”its in their interest to minimise the apparent calories and fat per portion”

Exactly. Same as when you buy a yummy chocolate cake and it says 200 calories a serving, then when you read the small print it reckons it’s supposed to serve 12 and you’ve eaten a quarter of it!

This is why I hate ordering pizza with other people because it’s expected you only have 2/3 bits and I’m sitting there eyeing it longingly

A whole one. With a few sides. Possibly dessert. We rarely have it though so when we do, I go to town!!
