How Many Pizzas Per Person for a Party or Wedding?

For most parties and weddings, plan for roughly three slices per guest, which is about 3/8 of a standard 12-inch pizza. So eight guests share around three pizzas. Hungry crowds, all-day events or buffets where pizza is the main meal can push toward four slices each, so it pays to budget a little extra rather than run short.

Working from about 3/8 of a 12-inch pizza per head (≈3 slices), here's a quick guide:

These are starting points. Bump the numbers up if pizza is the only food, if it runs across a long evening, or if your crowd skews very hungry. Because we cook live and continuously, you don't over-order to cover food going cold.

At a live event, how fast pizzas come out is what stops a queue. Our setup turns out around 40 pizzas an hour, from ovens held at full heat right through service. We cook on site for up to 400 guests, so each pizza arrives hot and fresh rather than sitting under a lid going soft.

Because every pizza is fired fresh in front of guests, you do not need to over-order to cover food going cold. Our 3x3m mobile setup needs no mains power outdoors, and it works indoors too on an electric oven we bring in, wherever the venue can give us a socket, serving anywhere across the areas we cover: Greater London, Kent, Essex, Surrey, Hertfordshire and Sussex. Vegan and vegetarian are standard, and other dietary needs get an honest answer, see our dietary FAQ.

Tell us your guest number, timings and whether pizza is the main event or a late-night bite, and we will recommend the right quantity and serving pace. Catering starts from £15-£18 per head with an £800 minimum spend, and our 14-day minimum lead gives us time to plan portions properly. Get a quote by phone, WhatsApp or email.
