• How much meat do I need for a party?

  This will depend on how many adults vs. children you will be serving. We suggest approx 6 oz. of meat for all of the adults & 3 oz. of meat for all of the children.
  Example:A party for 25 adults & 10 children.

  Step 1 – Adults: 25 adults (x) 6 oz. = 150 oz
  Take 150 oz. and divide it by 16 = 9.375 pounds
  You will need approximately 9.50 pounds of meat for the adults

  Step 2 – Children: 10 children (x) 3 oz. = 30 oz.
  Take 30 oz. and divide it by 16 = 1.875 pounds

  You will need approximately 2.0 pounds of meat for the children

  You’ll need to order 11.50 pounds of meat total for your party.

• How much Pizza do I need for a party?

  This will depend on how many adults vs. children you will be serving. We suggest approx 2.50 slices of Pizza for all of the adults & 1.50 slices of Pizza for all of the children.

  Example: A party for 10 adults & 20 children.

  Step 1 – Adults: 10 adults (x) 2.5 slices = 25 total slices of Pizza for the adults

  Step 2 – Children: 20 children (x) 1.50 slices = 30 total slices of Pizza for the children.

  Step 3 – Total:
  Add up Step One & Step Two.
  10 adults @ 25 slices of pizza
  20 children @ 30 slices of pizza

  TOTAL Slices of pizza needed = 55

  Take your total of 55 and divide by 32 (slices per sheet pizza) = 1.718 sheet pizzas.
