Depending on how you cut it, I've gotten 8 big triangular slices out of one.

ummm cal em up and ask em how many?
you can get it sliced double so slices are thinner.
I'd say 3 XL's

I worked in a pizza restaurant for 20+ years.
True story: Lady asks "how many slices of pizza are in a party tray?"
"28"
"Oh, that's too much pizza."
"I could cut the tray into 20 slices instead if you wanted." (jokingly)
"You could?! That would be PERFECT!"
me: :confused:

Reminds me of some illustrated science book I read as a child.

Picture 1: Toddler frowning at a plate with two weiners on it.

Picture 2: Happy toddler smiling at a plate on which two weiners have been cut into many pieces.

The point being that children of a certain level of developement perceive more pieces of something as literally being more of that something even when it's the same amount divided into different numbers of units.

I recall grasping this concept immediately (around 8 yrs old at the time).

8 pieces

I'd say 3-4 pizzas for 12 people. Costco pizzas are 18" I believe.

3 pizzas should be enough.

6 if you buy the individual slices meant to be eaten at the lunch tables (but obviously you would not be buying these).
8 if you buy the whole pizza to-go in a box.
Same pizza, they just slice them differently, at least at the one where I go.

Joke I saw at Bob is the Oil Guy

Last year at Christmas time, my mom went to my sister's
house for the traditional holiday feast. Knowing how gullible my sister is, my mom decided to play a trick. She told my sister that she needed something from the store and asked if my sister wouldn't mind going out to get it.

When my sister left the house, my mom took the turkey out of
the oven, removed the mixed stuffing, stuffed a Cornish hen, and inserted it into the turkey... then re-stuffed the turkey. She then placed the bird (s) back into the oven. When it was time for dinner, my sister pulled the turkey out of the oven and proceeded to remove the stuffing.

When her serving spoon hit something, she reached in and
pulled out the little bird. With a look of total shock on her face, my mother exclaimed, "Barbara, you've cooked a pregnant bird!" At the reality of this horrifying news, my sister started to cry hysterically. It took the entire family almost two hours to convince her that turkeys lay eggs!

Yes, my sister is a BLONDE

Also reminds me of a story of a "friend" at a restaurant..

"How many slices dos the medium come with?"
"6."
"Oh, okay, how about the large?"
"6."
"Wait what, isn't the large supposed to be bigger?"

:confused:

Did you really have to say that?

I think I may have gotten more than 8 slices when I bought one. I don't recall but I do remember it was a lot.
