    With the 24" pizza, you (and a buddy) would be eating the equivalent of TWO 12" ones EACH. Now that would be greedy.

    I think thats only if the pizza was square, no?

    But yes, I think a 24" is larger than two 12"

    Ironically .. the area of the pizza can be calculated with ...

    Pie x R^2

    A 12 inch pizza is 113.09 square inches

    A 24 inch pizza is 452.38 square inches

    So it is about 4 times the size!!
