How to compare Pizza sizes?

The round pizza are referred by their diameter. But, the surface area determines almost all the ingredients.

The formula to determine surface area follows:

Surface of Pizza =(0.7853)x(Diameter)x(Diameter). For all practical purposes, we can approximate as follows:

8" Pizza = 50 Square Inch

11" Pizza = 95 Square Inch

12" Pizza= 113 Square Inch

16" Pizza = 200 Square Inch

Therefore, for the same thickness, a 16" Pizza is same as 4 of the 8" Pizzas, or 2 of the 11" Pizzas. The most common pizza made at home is 12" Pizza.
