How many pies at bday party

Need food ideas for DS's 5th birthday.

Having it at NY Sports Club so it's an hour of the kids playing games then a half hour for pizza and cake for kids and adults.
I know all the parents will stay the whole time bc they're still young.
There are about 19 kids 3 - 5 and 30 adults. I know! Ridiculous! LOL! My parents, IL's, IL's have friends visiting out of town that love the kids, aunts and uncles along with the kids parents. Some are close friends so both parents come.

10 Pies good? Ordered half sheet cake and was thinking of adding cookies. I am doing juice boxes for the kids and mini water bottles.
I was just at a bday party at a My Gym and they had sooo much food for the parents out. I also know it was a 2 hour party at the food is out the entire 2 hours (veggies, dips, fruit, chips, sodas, etc). They are only in the room for the half hour.
Also, I am having party take 2 back at the house since family and close friends are in the area. Just grilling, bunch of sides, dips, chips, drinks for kids, drinks and alcohol for adults. ugh! I don't mind, but I don't know if we'll have too much pizza left over or not enough then having more food back at the house.

I usually figure at least 2 slices per person so I think you would be OK with 10, especially since the kids may not eat more than 1 slice. If you are really concerned you can order 12 pies and then just freeze the leftovers.

for my son's 4th at home, we ordered 8 pies and had 2 left over.

we had 30 adults and 6 kids.

eta - most kids 3-5 will probably only eat 1 pc right? Then two for adults is 79 slices (round up to 80) = 10 pies but some wont eat at all. I think you are more than fine with 10!

I think 10 is more than enough, and that's what I'd order. I'd always err on the side of over ordering. You can always bring pies back to the house for the 2nd party. It's worse to run out of food b/c it's usually the kids who won't get enough since they eat slower.
