Tips for Ordering Pizza for Parties

Treat Your Party Guests with Pizza from Salerno’s!

A lot of effort goes into throwing a party in Oak Park, and if you’re ordering pizza for a group, things can get tricky. So if you want to place an order online and are wondering how many pizzas for 20 adults or how many pizzas for 75 people, Salerno’s is here to help! Read on to learn more.

People love pizza in all its cheesy glory, but when it comes time to place an order, how many pizzas for 20 adults, or how many pizzas for 75 people in Berwyn? When you’re ordering pizza for a group, the general rule of thumb is adults will eat around three pizza party slices while children will eat about two pizza party slices. Here’s a breakdown of our pizzas and how many people they each can typically feed:

Pizza Size	Feeds
Baby (8")	1 Person
Small (10")	1-2 People
Medium (12")	2-3 People
Large (14")	3-4 People
X-Large (16")	4-5 People
Stadium (18" x 26")	8-10 People

To make things even easier, we’ve calculated the number of Salerno’s pizzas you’ll need for larger groups of people:

It’s important to note that even if you end up with extra pizza, it’s always better to have leftovers than to leave anyone hungry. Not to mention leftover pizza is delicious and easy to reheat!

Ordering Pizza for a Child’s Party

There’s nothing better than a pizza party for kids, but how much should you order for your little one’s birthday party? Here’s a simple breakdown:

For kids ages five and below = one slice per child
For kids ages 5 and up = 2 extra slices for every 6 kids

Now that you have a better idea of how many pizzas you need, check out the following tips before ordering pizza for a group:

Consider the type of gathering: If your guests are expecting a full meal, then make sure you’re generous with your pizza party slices. But if they’re only expecting refreshments at your Stickney gathering, then you may be able to get away with placing a smaller order.
Think about the size: You don’t want your guests to still be hungry afterward they leave, so consider the size of the pizza you order. You can always mix up sizes based on toppings to cater to all hunger levels/preferences.
Plan out toppings: We recommend having a mix of various toppings to accommodate all taste buds – but it never hurts to order plain cheese to play it safe.
Be considerate of dietary restrictions: Consider ordering a gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegan option for your Oak Park guests with allergies or dietary restrictions.
