📐 Why This Amount Works

Estimate actual eaters

75 guests × 90% eating rate

At medium events, about 90% of guests will eat full servings. 68 eaters

Calculate servings (as main dish)

68 eaters × 3 pizzas per person

As a main dish, plan for 3 pizzas per person. 204 base servings

Apply super bowl party modifier

× 1.3 (+30% for pizza)

Super Bowl Partys typically consume 30% more pizza than average. 263 pizzas needed

Convert to pizzas

263 pizzas ÷ 8 per pizza

Each pizza provides 8 pizzas. 32.9 pizzas (raw)

Add 15% buffer & round up

32.9 × 1.15 = 37.8, rounded up

Always round up and add a buffer. Running out of food is worse than having leftovers! 38 pizzas

💡 Pro Tips for Super Bowl Party Food

✓ 40% of all food is consumed during the first quarter - front-load your spread.
✓ Wings are the #1 Super Bowl food - err on the side of too many.
✓ Set up a separate kids station if families are coming - they eat differently.
✓ Prep dips in slow cookers - they stay warm and free up oven space.
✓ Use halftime to refresh ALL food stations - you have exactly 25 minutes.

Buying Guide

Super Bowl is the biggest food day of the year after Thanksgiving. Plan 10-12 wings per person, 3 slices of pizza, and plenty of chips and dip. Make everything shareable and easy to eat without utensils. Cold foods should stay cold, hot foods in warming trays or slow cookers.
