To eat a whole pizza?!

[viixie]

Was talking to my Mum about pizza. When we buy a frozen one from the shop, we will sit down say on a Friday night and eat a whole one each no problem. My Mum thinks that's piggish as she has about three slices 🥴

I have a small thin crust one. Usually I eat half of it, so 2 slices for a meal.

One supermarket pizza would feed me and my 6 DC for the entire week! With a massive salad of course and piles of veg

In reality I could easily polish off a supermarket pizza, probably 2 if I put my mind to it

Either a whole pizza each or half a pizza plus garlic bread and salad. I often add extra toppings to the supermarket ones too.

I once went to a slim person’s house for lunch. There was one frozen pizza between 3 adults and 3 children. There was a few bits like cherry tomatoes, hummus and breadsticks. I was nearly weeping with hunger. Mind you, that’s why she is very slim and I’m not.

I was going to say that's not enough for 3 adults, didn't even see the 3 children at first! who serves that tiny amount to guests?

People who competitively undereat are boring

And people who lecture other people about their food intake are annoying as hell

Fwiw I eat a whole pizza easily. It’s about 1000 cals, which is a decent amount for 1 meal if you burn about 2500-3000 cals a day

Hmm I can only eat 3 slices of pizza but then I don't have a big appetite

[cushioncovers]

A typical large domino's type pizza I eat 5-6 slices.

[MrsPnut]

I’d buy enough for one each if they are supermarket but I can never finish mine. I just don’t like pizza enough.
Our takeaway does a 9” pizza which I can usually eat half of with their homemade coleslaw. DH buys the dustbin lid size and DD has the12” option.

[Overthebow]

Also surely the number of slices someone can eat depends on the slice size. Personally I only eat one slice for dinner, if the slice is the whole pizza!

[Draineddraineddrained]

Off topic really but my other half has devoted himself to making really great homemade pizzas - proper bases, homemade tomato sauce, posh mozzarella etc. Uses a pizza stone and everything (we do have one each incidentally).

They're delicious... But... I really crave a dirty Chicago Town stuffed crust frozen pizza, dripping with saturated fats and piled high with cheap and nasty cheese 🤤 haven't the heart to tell him!

[Definately]

See the problem with Chicago town pizzas! You need a baking tray to cook them but I never have a baking tray big enough to encompass the entire pizza. So I don't buy them but they are delicious!

This reminds me of the Brad & Jen video where he asks if she'd prefer a medium pizza cut into 8 slices, or a medium into 12. She picks 8 cause 12 would be too much for her, then can't understand why he's laughing

[CorianderBee]

I think it's fine. I've definitely eaten a whole one and we've definitely shared one before. Depends how hungry I am.

I find the appetite sometimes decreases with age and people seem to forget they didn't always eat so little.

That's just rude tbh. I'm a size 8 so hardly big and I'd still want 2-3 slices for a meal.

Minimum

[getyourfreakon]

I used to be able to eat a whole one, I'm jealous fill your boots!

[SoMuchForSummerLove]

I feel your pain. My mum eats half a banana for breakfast and keeps the other half for tomorrow

[MinnieJackson]

I agree.with.@Feather12 they are mostly horrible, so much sauce! It's like lava

[Flittingaboutagain]

I had a frozen pizza express one to myself tonight. Quite happily!

[Sweetmotherofallthatisholyabov]

This thread has ruined pizza for me. I've just looked up the nutritional information of a goodfellas deep pan cheesy pizza. It's more than 2,000 calories. I'll never be able to eat the full thing without a bloody dose of guilt now. FFS. Not to mention the can of coke that washes it down.

[3JsMa]

YANBU,especially if it has stuffed crust.

[iklboo]

I can go full out Gollum on posh crisps as well. The big bags. They're MINE! MINE I tell you! With crusty bread, pate, cheese, pickled onions, some kind of meat like salami, pastrami, ham, prosciutto, chorizo etc. But no olives. Olives are evil.

[HowWeAre]

I would absolutely never share a supermarket pizza and haven’t done from being a teenager 😂

I only share pizza if we’re getting something like Papa Johns with sides, but even then we sometimes get a large one each! (Mine lasts two days DP eats his in one go)

[BurbageBrook]

God no I could only manage about 3 slices! unless I had the munchies I guess technically I could force more down but I get bored eating just one thing. I could eat chips or whatever alongside though.

[Whydidimarryhim]

I’ve just eaten a pizza express polka d’astra to myself.
Thankfully my son doesn’t like them so all for me. 😀
