A 16-inch pizza is not twice an 8-inch. It is four times as much.

Area grows with the square of the diameter, but menus price sizes as if it grew in a straight line. Test your eye on a few menus, then check your own.

Which one is the better deal?

Pick one. The answer is just geometry: area = pi x radius x radius.

Where does the extra pizza come from?

Every extra inch of diameter adds more than the one before it. Pick a base size and see what each step up gets you.

Area is calculated for a flat circle. Real pizzas have a thicker or thinner crust edge, so use the skip crust field above if you only care about the topped part.
