Padrino's Pizza Catering Calculation Page

The first question you will need to answer before preparing to order Padrino's Pizzas for catering is:

How many people are you feeding?

That is usually an easy question to answer. Sometimes though, when group attendance is uncertain, pizza is often the single best choice since most caterers require advance notice when preparing meal. Usually it is pretty easy for a pizzeria to make a few more pizzas. At Padrino's Pizza we are always ready to prepare as many hot, fresh and delicious pizzas as may be needed to fulfill your catering needs large or small.

When you determine your adult/child headcount, you need to decide how many slices per person.

We recommend an average of 2.5 slices per person. Keep in mind additional food served will cut back on the pizza required, salad, chips, desserts etc.

Here's how to calculate how many slices you need at 2.5 slices a person.

(slices per person) X (# of people) = (slices needed)

so...

(slices needed) / 8 = (total pizzas needed)

This simple formula converts total slices into pizzas needed - if it is a fractional number I always round up to the next whole pizza.
