Pizza for adults/bday party
So another bday party question. Having a bday party at a bounce place- for the adults, how much pizza do you typically order? Is 2 slices a person is good? TIA.

Re: Pizza for adults/bday party
2 slices will be more than enough.
I always like to have more than less though, so I don't mind taking home some left overs because... pizza! 
That will be fine!

I think you'll get more people that will take none than will take two slices. I'd calculate 1 slice per person and round up a pie (or 2 if it's close).

Re: Pizza for adults/bday party
I usually do at least 1 per adult, but not quite 2 per adult. So around 1.5? Lol. I always prefer having extra over not having enough. Nothing worse than being at a kids birthday party and running out of pizza.
I'll never forget when DS was little. He just finished his first half a slice of pizza and asked for more. There was none left because adults had eaten and there wasn't enough for the adults. I felt terrible for DS. Since then, I've always ordered more than enough. We once left a party with 3(!!!) extra pies. Lol. I'm totally fine with that, rather than telling kids they can't eat more.

Have you ever experienced the parent just eating the cheese?!?!?  Total waste of a pizza. I always just want to take it away and say, no pizza for you!

Pizza for adults/bday party
I don’t know what parties you guys are going to but I always see the parents eat. I make a point to grab a slice when I see there is a ton because I know the parents paid for everyone to eat and are glad when they do.

Oh there is NO shame in my game. You put a hot pizza in front of me and that heavenly smell and I don't care if I just ate a 4 course dinner, I'm eating a slice!
But I also think it's blasphemy to eat a salad at McDonald's and every time I get my DD a Happy Meal, you know I'm getting a quarter pounder with cheese, so.....
Maybe I'm not the best person to go by.

I see most parents eat at parties but I am one that doesn't sometimes. Right now I am doing weight watchers (I am on and off it all the time basically I loose then gain all of it back and do it again cause I am stupid and love food) and when I am on it I am very strict so sometime I don't want to waste the points. So even though I won't gain on the spot I rather not do it but it does take a lot in me not to eat it cause I do love pizza.

Re: Pizza for adults/bday party
I only eat the pizza if it's at/around a mealtime (and I'm hungry)...some kids parties they're giving you pizza at 3PM when we already had lunch and it's not quite dinner.

Re: Pizza for adults/bday party
Well I ordered enough pies for 2 slices each person...but I also found out they cut the pies into 16ths, so I am hoping people eat (it's around dinner time so I would think?) Otherwise I guess we are bringing a crap ton of extra pizza home...

Pizza for adults/bday party
I don't eat at kids parties. I find in general that it is 50/50 half eat, half don't. We did an early party one year and had bagels for the parents. We had over a dozen left and we had a lot of parents. I took a few home and left the rest for the staff at the party place.

They normally cut it that way for kids yes.
But when the do that, I just take 2 of the 1/16th slices for myself so I'm getting a full slice.
So that shouldn't affect what you have left over.
Most adults want a full slice, not a half, so they will take the 2 halves
