How much of that area is crust? And is the crust filled with cheese? And do both medium pizzas have the same toppings, or is one vegetarian and the other a meat lovers? The details matter.

I can’t fit a 18" pizza in my little oven. But I can fit two 12" pizzas on seperate racks.

Actually you should probably order a small pizza. Or, you know, no pizza at all.

Holy sh*t we’re so fat.

The title of this article is misleading. A large pizza, at least in the US, has generally been 14" across for decades. Two medium 12" pizzas is absolutely more food than a single 14" one. And if you order an 18" pizza, your cardiologist may recommend sharing it with many, many friends.

The small pizza is really the better option since I need to lose a little weight.

Everybody seems to be skipping over advantage #1, which is that you can thus get two different sets of ingredients and everybody happy. Nobody is ever pleased by my order of “pineapple and anchovy” for some reason.

I think I’ve identified the source of the issue, and I say this as someone who is at least a semi-casual fan of the 80s TMNT show :wink:

Any self-respecting pizza place will do different toppings on each half, but then you risk toppings contaminating the other side. I’m not a picky eater so that doesn’t bother me, but if you’re sharing with someone who is, that can make things more challenging.
