Pizza Value Calculator
Compare pizza deals and find the best value for your money. Calculate price per square inch to make smart decisions!
💡 Pro Tip: Larger pizzas almost always offer better value!
Pizza Value Tips
- Size Matters: A 16" pizza has 78% more area than a 12" pizza, but often costs only 30-40% more!
- Math is Key: Pizza area grows exponentially with diameter (πr²), so bigger is almost always better value.
- Compare Deals: A "Buy 2 Mediums" deal might cost more than one large despite similar total area.
- Don't Fall for Marketing: "50% More" claims can be misleading - always compare price per square inch.
- Consider Toppings: Extra toppings add the same cost regardless of size, making larger pizzas even better value.
- Plan Ahead: Leftover pizza is great! Buying larger sizes often saves money even if you can't eat it all at once.
