> (16 total slices, 400in², 25in² per slice)

I think you did the math wrong?

Area is pi x r^2, which for a 16" pizza would be pi x 8^2 = pi x 64, which is right about 200in^2

A few of the pizza places around here offer 20" pizzas, which would be pi x 10^2, or pi x 100 = 314in^2, which is actually big enough to feed a couple people.

That said, whenever I read "two-pizza team" (a term I've never heard before), I assume that means 4-5 people at most.



Parent post was talking about 2 pizzas. But you're right it's 200in² per pizza.

And a 2 pizza team is the number of people you can feed lunch to with 2 pizzas.

Most people would do 1-2 large slices for a lunch, so 4-8 maybe 10 people is a 2 pizza team.

About the same size range as a rifle squad.
