But it still only has 4 corner slices.
You’re really burying the lead with the little hat tip to Pee-Wee Herman way at the bottom.
Is my social group unusual, or are there really that many people who like a middle slice of pizza with no edge at all?
The delivery of that beast makes it all worthwhile.
Every pizza is a personal pizza if you believe in yourself.
what makes it not worth it is that it costs alot for mediocre to bad pizza.
I don’t know for sure, but in my family we’d need, at minimum, to take the center slices and stick 'em back in the oven to crisp up.
I don’t trust square pizza.
I would be impressed if it were hand tossed. The delivery vehicle is adorable though. What I really want to know is how you get 50-70 people to agree on toppings.
They’re actually not that bad.
Number of slices is a worthless measure of pizza. You need to think about area and thickness before anything else.
How do you get a 54 inch wide pizza through your front door without all the toppings sliding to one side?
I think if you’re the type who eats 54 inch pizzas, you just get wider doors.
Volume / weight are not easily available measurements, but I had the same thought about area. So I did some math.
A large pizza in the US has a seemingly standard size of 14". Little Caesar’s is the only competition in this game.
Restaurant | Square Inches | Price | Number of Pizzas | Cost per Sq Inch |
---|---|---|---|---|
BMaP | 2916 | 249.99 | 1 | $0.09 |
Dominos | 1232 | 199.75 | 8 | $0.16 |
Pizza Hut | 1232 | 199.75 | 8 | $0.16 |
Papa Johns | 1540 | 199.80 | 10 | $0.13 |
Little Caesars | 3080 | 249.99 | 25 | $0.08 |
Probably the pie is actually cooked to completion.
But the slice comparison compares to the worlds worst.
I’m a bit disappointed that they don’t air-lift it.
Uh, your numbers are all messed up - for example, $199.75 buys you 25 pizzas at Domino’s, not 8 pizzas, for 3848 in^2 total and a cost per square inch of $0.05. Similar errors for all the other chain restaurants. BMaP is by far the highest cost.
