How Many Slices is a 10 Inch Pizza?

If you’re wondering if a 10 inch pizza is just what you need for a hungry afternoon or a gathering with friends, I’m here to answer all of your questions.

As the only pizza aficionado you need to know, I’m sharing with you everything you need to know about 10” pizzas so you don’t have to stay hungry or starve your guests.

Even if you’re not sure what an inch looks like, I’ve figured it out with a couple of every-day objects so you can compare its true size.

Even though ordering a pizza is extremely convenient, it’s important to be aware of how much of it you should actually order or you might come off as cheap.

That may not be your intention but when two small pizzas arrive for 10-15 guests– well– that’s not good. Regardless of the pizza chain or restaurant you get it from, read the full post to avoid all the embarrassments I’ve gone through over the years before I decided to pay attention to pizza sizes and the number of slices in each.

How big is a 10 inch pizza?

You get just what you asked for. A 10 inch pizza measures 10 inches in diameter. If you’re not too familiar with inches, it’s 25.4 cm. I know imagining dimensions is difficult sometimes, so try to imagine a large school ruler (not the 15 cm ones). It’s a little bit smaller than that but it’s a good estimate if you’re trying to picture how much pizza you’ll actually get.

Lining up three crayons or even comparing it to the size of a large envelope is also a good way to imagine how big a 10 inch pizza is. If you’ve got a ruler or measuring tape on hand, the easiest way to do it is just to pick them up and measure out 10 inches.

The number of toppings and type of crust do not affect the size whatsoever. They might impact how full you feel from each slice, though.

After all, eating a simple margherita pizza is very different to having a slice loaded with pepperoni, ground meat, salami, and a stuffed crust.

10 inch pizza feeds how many?

A 10” pizza is considered small and usually feeds 1-3 people. Of course, it depends on how big an appetite you and everyone else has. If you’re quite hungry, it might just feed you.

If you’re lucky, a second person but barely. Don’t count on ordering a single 10” pizza if you’re expecting more than 2-3 people over or if you’re particularly hungry.

Especially when you have friends or family coming over, I would recommend ordering several 10” pizzas or a couple of the larger sizes.

If you’re worried about not mixing Hawaiian with pepperoni, then definitely order more of the smaller ones so you can separate the toppings. It also makes it easier for people to pass around the boxes of the pizza they actually want.

By the way, when I say “small” pizza, I don’t mean individual sized ones like the ones you can get at 7-Eleven and microwave on the spot. They’re also nothing like the huge Costco pizzas. I’d say 10 inches are a decent size if it’s just lunch for one.

How many does a 10 inch pizza feed?

The answer to this question depends on the occasion and how many people you’re expecting over. If it’s simply a pizza party where nothing else but soda will be served, then please consider a 10 inch pizza from any pizzeria enough for 1-2 people.

Normally I’d say it’s only enough for 1 person but if not all your friends have the appetite of a high-performance athlete, then consider that some of them might eat a bit less.

A 10 inch pizza has six slices but the pizza is relatively small so don’t expect each slice to be particularly filling. However, if you consider 2-3 slices per person, then you can definitely feed 2-3 people with it.

If you don’t want to spend much on more pizzas, a good way to go about your order is to get a stuffed crust and people will feel fuller than they normally would with less slices.

What size is a 10 inch pizza?

Fortunately (or unfortunately) a 10 inch pizza measures the same everywhere on Earth. Thus, if you’ve already ordered a 10” pizza before, it’s going to be the exact same size on the other side of the world.

In this regard, you don’t need to worry too much about whether it will be enough if you already know what it looks like. But what if you’ve never ordered one before or can’t remember how large it was? It’s about 25 cm or 0.8 ft. Grab a ruler and measure it out on a piece of paper, it’s my best recommendation.

Nonetheless, you have to keep in mind that it’s a 25 cm diameter and not a radius. The diameter goes all the way across while the radius goes from the center to the edge.

If it were a 25 cm radius pizza then you’d end up with a huge pizza for way more than a handful of people. That’s not the case, though, so keep it in mind.

Is a 10 inch pizza enough for one person?

A 10 inch pizza is usually enough for one person. In fact, I would argue it’s best to only consider it for a single person— especially if they have a large appetite.

If you’re having other sides with it like chicken wings, cinnamon bites, or potato wedges, then definitely consider it for up to three people. If it’s just pizza you’re having, though, stick to one 10” pizza per person.

However, it depends on who you’re feeding. Children don’t normally finish a 10 inch pizza by themselves, so they could probably share between 3 or 4 of them.

If you’re feeding hungry teens or an adult, then that’s a different story because their appetites tend to be much bigger. You can have a 14 year old capable of eating a pizza and a half on his own, but you could also be a group of petite women who don’t eat more than 2 slices each.

Use my advice as guidance but never forget to consider the specifics of your situation. After all, only you truly know how much pizza everyone will really eat.

How big is a 10 inch square pizza?

In this case, the shape of the pizza doesn’t change much about the size or number of servings you get. A square 10 inch pizza is still 10 inches wide and serves six slices.

They won’t be triangular but you’ll be able to cut six squares or rectangles from the pizza either way. Again, try to line up three new crayons for an estimate of how large it is.

If you don’t have any, 10×10” baking dishes are standard in most kitchens so you might have one on hand and not even realize it! Dig through your cupboards and cabinets because that’s a spot-on way to visualize how big your pizza will actually be.

While square pizzas definitely look more unique and chic, they might not be so practical for an event. Every slice from a round pizza will have an edge that people can hold onto without necessarily needing a plate.

However, a square pizza means some slices or pieces will inevitably come from the center, where there is no outer crust. It’s not the end of the world, but it might not be the most comfortable thing for your guests either.

How big is a 10 inch pizza from Domino’s?

A 10 inch pizza from Domino’s contains six slices. This is considered “small”, if you’d like more slices you can get their 12” or 14” pizzas, which have 8 and 10 slices respectively.

However, it doesn’t really matter what restaurant it’s from, a 10 inch pizza will be the same size and will usually come with 6 slices.

The cool thing about pizzas measuring a given number of inches or centimeters is that they will always be the same size. It’s a matter of consistency.

How many slices are in a 10 inch pizza from Papa John’s?

For the most part, and unless it’s a tiny pizza, all pizzas will have at least six slices. When it comes to a 10” Papa John’s pizza, you can expect just that, six slices.

If you’d like more slices but not necessarily a larger pizza, give them a call and ask them to make the slices smaller so you can get more out of your pizza.
