1. What is the Pizza Calculator?

The Pizza Dinner Party Calculator helps you determine how many pizzas to order for your gathering based on the number of guests and how many slices each person is likely to eat.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses a simple formula:

Where:

• \( Guests \) — Number of people attending
• \( Slices\ per\ person \) — Estimated slices each person will eat
• 8 — Standard number of slices per pizza

Explanation: The calculation accounts for total slices needed divided by slices per pizza, then rounds up to whole pizzas.

3. Importance of Proper Pizza Planning

Details: Ordering the right amount of pizza ensures all guests are satisfied without excessive waste or shortage.

4. Using the Calculator
