📐 Why This Amount Works
1
Estimate actual eaters
100 guests × 85% eating rate At large events, about 85% of guests will eat full servings. 85 eaters
2
Calculate servings (as main dish)
85 eaters × 3 pizzas per person As a main dish, plan for 3 pizzas per person. 255 base servings
3
Apply corporate event modifier
× 0.6 (-40% for pizza) Corporate Events typically consume 40% less pizza than average. 153 pizzas needed
4
Convert to pizzas
153 pizzas ÷ 8 per pizza Each pizza provides 8 pizzas. 19.1 pizzas (raw)
5
Add 15% buffer & round up
19.1 × 1.15 = 22.0, rounded up Always round up and add a buffer. Running out of food is worse than having leftovers! 22 pizzas

Buying Guide
Corporate events require elevated finger foods. Think caprese skewers, shrimp cocktail, bruschetta, and elegant cheese boards. Avoid anything too casual or messy. Budget $8-15 per person for appetizers at a cocktail reception.
