Quiver0f10 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 (edited) Would you order for 20 teens? There will also be chips & dip, pretzels and cake. Edited September 18, 2010 by Quiver0f10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoughCollie Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I would order 10. Or maybe 8. I've noticed that kids don't seem to eat as much as they do at home when they get together to socialize. One of my boys can eat a whole pizza by himself, even with other food included. Two of them can eat 1/2 pizza each, and the other food included in the meal. This is at home. At a party, they don't eat as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I like to order 2 slices per person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherry in OH Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 If they are all boys - 20. :001_smile: Seriously, 8 extra large would probably be enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justasque Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 You can mimimize waste by asking the pizza place to cut it into more, smaller pieces. 16 instead of 8, for a large pizza. That way, you don't get left with a ton of half-eaten slices that you have to throw out. We do this when feeding a crowd, and it works well. For leftovers, if we don't have enough for everyone, I will sometimes cut the pieces into small square-ish bite-sized pieces, and call them "pizza bites". A nice snack food.

Pretty in Pink Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I would order 10 pizzas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyFL Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I would order 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoughCollie Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I guess the consensus is that you should order 9 pizzas. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Yeah, I'd say 10 as well. 15 yo ds could easily eat half a pizza--as long as it was obvious that there was plenty enough to go around. Have fun! Cinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I'd say if they are all boys 10 or 12 single topping pizzas. If it is a mixed group 8 to 10 single topping pizzas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiver0f10 Posted September 18, 2010 Author Share Posted September 18, 2010 It should be a pretty evenly mixed group. I am not worried @ leftovers as my kids will eat it the next day. I just want to make sure I have enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to make sure I have enough. You'll have plenty of food available. If anyone wants more food, offer them a pbj. Or when the pizza is nearly gone, stick a table knife, a loaf of bread, a jar of jelly, and a jar of peanut butter on the table, along with a stack of paper plates. The kids will get the message.

Starr Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I was surprised that teens didn't eat more at dc's party. I guess they were having too much fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobela Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 If they are all boys - 20. :001_smile: Seriously, 8 extra large would probably be enough. Yep, that is my thought as well LOL. My ds10 could eat one himself. Or I would buy lots and lots of other snacks so I could buy fewer pizzas. Which ever was cheaper in the long run...

Aubrey Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 LOL--dh asked, "What kind of teens? Regular youth group teens or football players?" His bro played fb all thr highschool & college, & apparently, locusts have nothing on those guys! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audrey Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I don't know, but I have to give you props for being willing to feed 20 teens. They are remarkable creatures... like Hoovers with legs. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver0f10 Posted September 18, 2010 Author Share Posted September 18, 2010 LOL the group will be more like a youth group than football players. I think I am going to order 9 and with the chips/dip and pretzels plus cake I think that should be ok. Worst case we have pizza for the next few meals. My kids would just hate that :glare: :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
