If you let the radius be Z, then you can find the area of a pizza with a simple formula:
Pi * Z * Z = A
I once taught private lessons in math on calculating the area of a circle and I wanted to show the students how much cheaper per area a larger pizza is. So we of course got the diameters of pizzas from their favorite restaurant and started calculating. Then we found out that the normal sized pizza was actually the cheapest per area. It wasn‘t quite what we expected, but a very good math lesson for the attendees nonetheless: The owner lost money, because they were bad at maths.
You didn’t consider the crust ratio, did you?
The crust tends to be a consistent width, so it represents a greater portion of a smaller pizza, shrinking the bit most people are there for.
…but hey, if you love the crust just as much, more power to ya!
Keeping the total pizza volume fixed, many smaller pizzas also means more boxes.
A thin crust pizza is just a small pizza stretched out to the size of a larger pizza … it’s paying for a large pizza while asking for a small pizza.
I tell this to my wife all the time but she still loves her thin crust pizza.
I have an app for that, put the price and diameter of different pizzas and it says what’s the best one price wise.
Did you take into account that the crust takes away area from the “filling”? Because me and my husband also once did the math (not sure if we were frugal, bored or broke) and it all came down on whether you eat/enjoy the crust or not
Where I live there is nothing like dipping sauces for pizza and thankfully so
But the 2 12” pizzas have more crust, so it depends what you prefer.
I’m wholly in the pizza centre and fuck the crust camp. But for those who like the crust…
You’re meant to eat the crust, not fuck it, that might be where you’re going wrong
On this episode of: The internet goes to primary school
ok but that picture is clearly one 18" pizza vs two 18" pizzas that have been hit by a shrink ray, meaning the two on the right have twice as much nutrition as the one on the left.
