How much pizza?

Party for 4 year olds. 15 children and I'm not sure how many adults - could potentially be 30 if both sets of parents for each child come. Plus a few of my (adult) family.
We've got crudités & dips, plus crisps and a few snack things but the main food is going to be pizza.
We're doing food for everyone - grown ups included. I don't think we have enough, my husband does.
3 vegan / gluten free pizzas and 10 normal ones.
I think I should buy more pizzas - AIBU?

Where are you that you have a full kitchen to custom cook food during a kids party?

Not to mention the time and staff you would need to cook fresh for 55 people.

It's a kids party not a restaurant. OP didn't have to feed the adults at all, she was being nice by offering something she was no obligation to do.

Lots of people here are very snobbish and entitled in proclaiming 'that freebie I got wasn't good enough'... beggers can't be choosers people now eat your cold pizza or go buy your own food.

I think maybe you misread, the poster didn’t say custom cook or cook fresh, they said pick what you wish, clearly the pizza, and then heat it up. Takes a few seconds in the micro.

No one wanted the pizza as it was cold. Possibly not very nice even to start with depending on quality. Let’s all be honest, here, if 55 folks can’t eat 10 pizzas, it’s because it isn’t good. And yes there were crisps and jam sandwiches.

im guessing this was a budget thing, the op would have been better spending the money she spent on the pizzas on normal sandwiches ie cheese, ham, whatever.

You are seriously not helping debunk the 'snob' part.
