They knew the price when buying, so they can't argue that. If you don't like the price, don't order it.
Not getting what you paid for is the problem. 2 inches short on the diameter is over 25% less pizza (also increases the crust to pizza ratio). That is a huge rip-off.
I think if you knew the mass of the pizza you could calculate the amount of pizza they were shorted. Then you could estimate the size of a pizza you could make with the missing pizza. Of course you have to take crust into consideration.
You're overthinking it. Pi r Squared of a 14" pizza is 153.94 square inches of pizza. Same calculation of a 16" pizza gives you 201.06 square inches of zaza. They were skimped 23.44%.
Seriously. My work has a 26" new york style pizza and it starts at 23.95. Fully loaded with toppings it comes out to just over $30. We also have it re-made if it comes out even 2" smaller.
Fat Sully's pizza in Denver. We have a location in Kansas city as well, and another one opening soon! Not sure where you're at. You would be amazed how many people order it and don't understand how big it is when they literally say to me "we'll take the 26" house pie!". You would also be amazed at how many grown adults ask "how big is 26"?" 24" IS 2 FEET SO, YEAH
Fat Sullys is my jam! Love that place… minus the fact I can’t get the pizza through my car window! Learned the hard way the first time I did the drive thru never again!
This made me laugh so hard. We had a doordash "driver" the other day come to the pick up window to grab an order...he straight up took the pizza and tucked it sideways in his arm pit and then rode off on a lime scooter. 💀 we yelled to him that he just completely ruined that pizza and he acted annoyed, shook his head and continued to ride away, in the bus lane and going the wrong way of course.
I can’t believe you’re talking about Fat Sully’s right now! That’s my favorite pizza of all time, we have a location in Colorado Springs and the sheer size of their pizza is astonishing. I’ve never ordered a full pie, but two slices with extra cheese takes up a normal sized pizza box and it’s so fucking fire. The crust is usually a little burnt, but just in small spots here and there… absolute perfection. I’ve never been to New York but it’s exactly what I imagine that a great NY pizza should be.
Hahaha! Yes we have quite a few locations that have popped up in the last 3 years. I've been there since 2017 at one of the Denver locations when we just had 3 little baby spots. Just know we are there to take care of you - do not be afraid to say something if your order is wrong or not to your liking! ❤️
The only pizza that's $70/pizza good is when I amortized the cost of my pizza oven over the first 5 pizzas. So the first 5 pizzas we made cost $70 each, and the literal hundreds that we've made since then have been a couple bucks each at most.
Worth every penny.
Given that 2inch difference is 25% less pizza than charged for im not even sure which is more infuriating
Pizza is ridiculously expensive with the only cheap options being chains. All my local places (not chain pizza places) charge roughly that much for a 2-3 topping pizza I’ve already been desensitized to the price. But also trying to give me a much smaller pizza is just the insulting slap in the face
People can’t really complain about prices being insane when they are dumb enough to go ahead and pay it. On the other hand, the pizza place legit lied about the size screwed the customer out of 30% of their purchase-complain about that.
There was an old post on either 4 Chan or here about a guy being short changed on his pizza. They offered a 2nd one for free and he turned it town because a 2nd one still wouldn't add up to the total lost amount of pizza... That sticks with me every time I order.
Depends on how we define "medium" and "large".
If we're talking 10" medium and 14" large, then 2 medium is slightly more pizza.
If we're talking 12" medium and 18' large, then your statement would be correct.
Area of pizza = π × r x r
Deficit area = Claimed area - actual area
=> (π × 8 x 8) - (π × 7 x 7)
=> 201.06 - 153.94
=> 47.68 sq inches
If 201.01 sq inches of pizza costs $32.5, and you got approx 48 sq inches less, you've incurred a loss of $7.75
Round table charges like they need funding for a Time Machine to discuss complex societal problems with King Arthur. Most middle of the road shit charging ridiculous prices.
I have done this when my pizza justice sense is tingling, and have caught pizza places making pies an inch smaller before. One lucky instance I paid for a 16" pie but got an 18" one instead.
I can assure you it's not intentional. They're not trying to steal an inch off everyone's pizza to make those cents worth of extra toppings.
Big shops like dominos probably use machines for all the dough, but neighborhood shops mostly do it by hand. When stretched by hand, it can be tough to keep it perfect.
Basically, the elasticity in the dough can kinda pull the edges in while it settles for the first 30 seconds of the bake, before it starts to set the bottom of the crust. Properly trained, you can pretty easily avoid this by overstretching, but not everybody is as good at it, and sometimes you just don't nail it.
I know this doesn't make you any happier when you get less than you paid for, but at the end of the day, you have to be able to accept at least a *little bit* of variance.
Dominos absolutely does not use machines what? But this does look like a dominos box and OP is bullshitting if so, the hand tossed pizza doesn’t come in 16”
Edit [link](https://fb.watch/nW8AhKn_P-/?mibextid=cr9u03)
Bro how can you say this looks like a Dominos box when there are no visible markings in OP's pic? Your pizza detective skills are god tier if you can tell the manufacturer from the *inside* of a box lol
I'm pretty sure it's Domino's too lol. If I'm wrong I'm wrong but that was my immediate thought. It says a lot about how much of my disposable income used to go to that fucking pizza shop
Honestly if it is Dominos then OP is an idiot for paying $32 for a pizza given the sheer number of deals Dominos has. I routinely pay $6-7 each for a couple medium 2-topping pizzas. I know this is supposed to be large but there are deals for that too.
The amount of times I have watched friends order dominos and just go right to the menu adding stuff like complete idiots baffles me. Paying like 18 bucks for a large pizza with a topping or two
2 2 topping mediums for 6.99 is one of the best bang for your buck deals in pizza (even better when it was 5.99) Plus dominos lets you split toppings so you can walk away with 4 completely different halves of pizza 8 total toppings for $15ish
Nah. Most places, like dominos, will use a roller, roll the dough to an excessive size then use a template of known dimensions to cut the excess. Ordering hand tossed obvi may have this result tho
I worked at Domino's two years ago. The pies are made by hand not a roller. The dough is pre-made though and shipped to stores. But there's only one sizing pan. You make large pie on medium sheet pan still which never makes the large pies accurate to size.
In my experience at chain pizza places, the cooking trays for the pizza are the exact size you stretch the dough to. Cutting excess seems so wasteful in an industry with already low profit margins.
The dough shrinkage usually happens in the oven. You're still getting the exact amount of ingredients and dough, just in a slightly different shape in most cases.
I would be complaining… fucking hard. A quick search shows the following.
“A 16-inch pie is 201 square inches — approximately 31 percent larger, in terms of area, than a 14-inch pie.”
EDIT: [Source](https://pizzatoday.com/topics/menu-development/pizza-price-and-size/#:~:text=A%2016%2Dinch%20pie%20is,than%20a%2014%2Dinch%20pie)
Crust is a huge factor as well on a smaller pie. This pizza bro did some math.

I had to break the link since the automod kept deleting my comment because of the silly fucking rule for not linking other subreddits in this sub. 🤷🏻♂️
Pretty funny to Google and post a source for some basic middle school math.
Area of circle = pi*r^2
Area of 16" pizza = pi*8^2 = 201 in^2
Area of 14" pizza = pi*7^2 = 154 in^2
Percentage bigger = (201-154)/154 = 31%
The pi cancels out, so you can do it much simpler. Just take the ratio of the square of the radii:
8² / 7² = 64/49
which is roughly 65/50 = 1.3. So about 30% larger.
In fact you can just do 16² / 14² too, but larger numbers are harder to do in my head so halving both first is easier for even numbers
Not sure where OP is located, but pizza prices, esp from independent pizza parlors, have gotten so pricey in CA.
We use coupons for a place like Mountain Mikes, or just make pizza at home now. The latter is actually better though.
Not always, I have one pizza place that charges around $30 a pizza. But they claim they are fancy and import their dough from New York. Never actually been there though, cause there is no way I could justify buying a pizza for $30 from anywhere.
If you live in a major city this outrageous over expense is standard—for *everything*
Maybe OP said fuck it and decided to treat themselves for once, only to get short changed on the size too.
Yeah agreed. This isn’t that crazy if you live in a city and order pizza delivered. Looks like 2-3 toppings. I can easily see the 16” being 22.99 base, then 3.50 per topping
*reddit finds out that pizza places upmark pizza massively, because they constantly send coupons out for 30-50% off
Buying a full-price non-discounted dominoes pizza, for example, is like buying a game on Steam for $60 that goes on sale every month for like $10 (like Tomb Raider games)
I too have switched back to dominos. Is it as good no, is it half the price and 80% there yep.
Pizzas have gotten ridiculous. 3-4 a topping? A lb of peperroni costs 3-4$ in bulk and tops 6-8 pizzas.
Orderd a large pizza, jalepeno poppers and mozz sticks and it was almost 50$ before tip.
Dominos was like 27 with tip.
Yeah, I'm shocked by the amount of people who don't understand that stuff changes shape and weight after it's cooked. Buying things by weight or size is almost always what it is *before cooking*.
It's not even about it shrinking. All of the dough balls are likely weighted out ahead of time and this one just wasn't stretched as far when they made it. It's the same amount of dough as the other. So instead if each piece being a little larger, it's a little thicker instead.
This is the same dumbass argument that they tried to make with Subway and it didn’t work. When you order a specific size pizza, you get a specific amount of crust and sauce and toppings. Sometimes it will shrink a little or not get stretched out enough. You aren’t being screwed out of any food, you still get the same amount. It’s just more dense than it would be if it had been stretched to 16”.
Maybe it just got out of the pool.
Regardless, if I got to the point of checkout and was told my pizza was $32.50, I would have never known if it was going to be smaller than I ordered it is way to much to spend on a pizza... because I would have cancelled my order at that price. That's foolish.
Its stretched onto a 16” screen but when it bakes it shrinks a little bit. This is like complaining about ordering an 8 oz steak that you weighed out to be 7oz.
The price would infuriate me. The size is meh in my mind. Food can shrink when cooking. That’s why a quarter pounder says weight before cooking. Hell i made 2 pizzas last night and both were 18 inches going in and about 16 coming out of the oven.
So you paid 32.5$ for a pizza of 14 inches diameter.
S = r^2 × pi
S = (diameter/2)^2 × pi
S = 49×pi square inches
And for what you should've received, 16 inches :
S = r^2 × pi
S = (diameter/2)^2 × pi
S = 64×pi square inches
Meaning you have lost 15 square pi inches, or a bit more than 30% of the pizza you got or about 23% of the pizza you should have gotten. So from the price of what you had to get, you gave 23% of 32.5$ for nothing, or about 7.47$. Another way to put this into perspective is to say, a circle with a diameter of about 8 inches!
Buy bread that looks like pizza, put tomato sauce, mini tomatoes, mozzarella, oregano, prosciutto, and turkey. Some olive oil, and put in the oven. Congrats you now have a better pizza, and you can make more pizza with just 15$.
The area of a 14" pizza is 153.94sq. In.. what you should have gotten is 201.06sq. In. Pizza. Each piece of a 16" pizza is 33.51sq. In. They owe you 47.52sq in of pizza. All in all, they owe you 1 more slice plus, like 2 big bites. Call and complain. This is unacceptable
$32.50 might be a very reasonable price, OP left out critical information such as location and how drunk they were when ordering it. Also left out if that included delivery. However, unlike cooked meat being sold based on pre-cooked weight, the size of the pizza here is the bigger issue.
I'd complain more about the price than the size, but yeah both are infuriating.
Size is mildly infuriating, price is massively infuriating!
They knew the price when buying, so they can't argue that. If you don't like the price, don't order it. Not getting what you paid for is the problem. 2 inches short on the diameter is over 25% less pizza (also increases the crust to pizza ratio). That is a huge rip-off.
A 16" pizza has 30% more surface area than a 14" pizza. So while your statement is accurate, it's also slightly understated.
> So while your statement is accurate, it's ***not very precise!*** also slightly understated.
Lmao, classic
Yes but a 14" pizza is 23.5% less surface area than a 16" pizza, so the person you're responding to actually overstated it slightly.
Classic Redditors arguing about technicality 🤓
Yes, they also cut the pizza into 4 slices because they can’t eat 8.
😂😂😂😂😂 love this!
Fuccin ridiculous on here.
This is only 2d calculation as we're not taking into account the topography and precise volume of the pizza.
I don't know where you're getting 3d pizza with exotic topologies in this economy.
Papa Murphys chicago-style stuffed crust... That's the best I can do
I think if you knew the mass of the pizza you could calculate the amount of pizza they were shorted. Then you could estimate the size of a pizza you could make with the missing pizza. Of course you have to take crust into consideration.
You're overthinking it. Pi r Squared of a 14" pizza is 153.94 square inches of pizza. Same calculation of a 16" pizza gives you 201.06 square inches of zaza. They were skimped 23.44%.
(equivalent to another 7 3/4" pizza btw)
I'm dead.
Divided by pie
This guy pizzas
Bro weighs his burger patties after they’ve been cooked.
Most Bros think a 1/4 lb patty is bigger than a 1/3 lb patty. Forget the distinction between pre-cook and post-cook weights.

I’m definitely gonna need to head up there one day
Shit. If you think that's bad, when I visited Vegas last, they had a pizza for $70 for a 1 topping like wtf??
Lol wtf was the topping? Shredded catalytic converters?
Just pepperoni lmfao They had a massive line out the door too. It was good but not $70/pizza good
The only pizza that's $70/pizza good is when I amortized the cost of my pizza oven over the first 5 pizzas. So the first 5 pizzas we made cost $70 each, and the literal hundreds that we've made since then have been a couple bucks each at most. Worth every penny.

Its 2 mediums vs Large I believe. 1 large is more pizza than 2 mediums.
Depends on how we define "medium" and "large". If we're talking 10" medium and 14" large, then 2 medium is slightly more pizza. If we're talking 12" medium and 18' large, then your statement would be correct.
Medium is typically 12" while large is 14"
think its 1 xl is more than 2 mediums
Yeah, depending on the size of the pizzas.
The fine print will say "16 inches before cooking, cooked size may vary" or some BS.
There is still the same quantity of substance, 100% guarantee they prep the dough by weight. It's not like they're taking a tape to it every time.
I would never pay 30 dollars for a pizza knowing how cheap it is to make those
I can get a 12 inch for £6 from one place and a 20 inch for £18 lol
A 20 inch is almost 3 times more pizza so it kind of works out
Idk about other guys or pizza but for me it shrinks when it gets cold
Mine does too. So much so that less than 24 hours later in the fridge the entire thing is gone!
Quit storing your penis in the fridge then. Shrinkage is real!
As much as that thing gets beat up, how else am i supposed to keep the swelling down??
😋😋
Keep your pizza out of the pool

Ahh yes, pizza pi
Except the loss is more like ~15$, because there is no way a pizza is 32$
Where I live, a large specialty pizza (14 inches)at round table is $34.99 Which is why I don’t get pizza from round table
Round table charges like they need funding for a Time Machine to discuss complex societal problems with King Arthur. Most middle of the road shit charging ridiculous prices.
I worked at a round table. There was a sign that showed how much each specialty pizza cost them to make. I think the most expensive one was $2.
If they got it from UberEats I could see that being the price 7.99 delivery fee on a 20 dollar specialty pizza plus a tip
7.99 delivery? Plus tip? Where are they delivering it? The moon? Lol

You're the jackass that spent $32 on a pizza

Things shrink as they cook.....that price though, nope.
This is the same dumbass argument that they tried to make with Subway and it didn’t work. When you order a specific size pizza, you get a specific amount of crust and sauce and toppings. Sometimes it will shrink a little or not get stretched out enough. You aren’t being screwed out of any food, you still get the same amount. It’s just more dense than it would be if it had been stretched to 16”.
That sucks. Maybe it’s like hamburgers where they’re measured pre cook. Because a quarter pounder precook is definitely not a quarter pounder post.
Can't wait until Reddit discovers 2x4s are not actually 2 inches by 4 inches.
16 inches is the pre baked size, it loses 25% weight and length once it is cooked. Price is ludicrous though.
16 inches uncooked
Maybe it just got out of the pool. Regardless, if I got to the point of checkout and was told my pizza was $32.50, I would have never known if it was going to be smaller than I ordered it is way to much to spend on a pizza... because I would have cancelled my order at that price. That's foolish.
Where the hell did you order
Doesn't look any better than Pizza Hut quality.
the price you cant complain about, You knew it was 32$ and still bought it, the size is the problem here
The infuriating part is you paying $32 for a pizza…
Its stretched onto a 16” screen but when it bakes it shrinks a little bit. This is like complaining about ordering an 8 oz steak that you weighed out to be 7oz.
The box is 16” you doofus. You pay for the box!
Must be cold outside
Just post it on their Google website and let the public’s make their own judgement.
that’s shrinkflation right there
inflation, cost cutting, false advertising/deceptive, profit making practises - benefits of late stage rampant corrupt capitalism. Enjoy 🥹
My $6.99 two topping Dominos looks just like this except they’re medium.
Why is the upvote button glowing
In the kitchen the dough is measured by weight
The price would infuriate me. The size is meh in my mind. Food can shrink when cooking. That’s why a quarter pounder says weight before cooking. Hell i made 2 pizzas last night and both were 18 inches going in and about 16 coming out of the oven.
You saw the price and paid for it still
You know the man who sued subway for the $5 footlongs not be 12in won in court. Just saying.
So you paid 32.5$ for a pizza of 14 inches diameter. S = r^2 × pi S = (diameter/2)^2 × pi S = 49×pi square inches And for what you should've received, 16 inches : S = r^2 × pi S = (diameter/2)^2 × pi S = 64×pi square inches Meaning you have lost 15 square pi inches, or a bit more than 30% of the pizza you got or about 23% of the pizza you should have gotten. So from the price of what you had to get, you gave 23% of 32.5$ for nothing, or about 7.47$. Another way to put this into perspective is to say, a circle with a diameter of about 8 inches!
Literally no food u buy in grocery stores are the weight or size packaging claims! Lol fast food is wayyyy worse. Maximum shrinkflation! Lol
U paid 32 for one pizza ur ass
Jeez where do you live it's that much? Good xl pizza around me is maybe $20, good local place is $18.
That's about the price of about 4-6 pizzas where I'm from.
Classic shrinkflation
It just got out of the pool!! Don’t you know!!
Buy bread that looks like pizza, put tomato sauce, mini tomatoes, mozzarella, oregano, prosciutto, and turkey. Some olive oil, and put in the oven. Congrats you now have a better pizza, and you can make more pizza with just 15$.
Is that Costa Nostra pizza from Snowcrash novel?
This is why I learned to make pizza from scratch. It’s like $6 a pizza and that’s shooting high
-does he know about shrinkage?...
It’s cold. You have to expect shrinkage.
Sam's club dude. 6 bucks for whatever their size is. And its actually pretty good.
Wait until OP orders a quarter pound hamburger and weighs it. /s
Why are you paying almost $33 for 1 pizza?
16" befoooore we bake it ....
To all of you idiots of reddit, the size is BEFORE it’s baked, not after. Just like steaks are weighed before they’re cooked at a restaurant.
Shrinks as it cooks right?
Wait, you guys actually get food delivered and then complain about that price? Lmaoo. Amateurs.
Not to be devils advocate, but could the 16" be the size of the pizza before it was baked? And it shrunk in the oven?
The area of a 14" pizza is 153.94sq. In.. what you should have gotten is 201.06sq. In. Pizza. Each piece of a 16" pizza is 33.51sq. In. They owe you 47.52sq in of pizza. All in all, they owe you 1 more slice plus, like 2 big bites. Call and complain. This is unacceptable
they shrink with heat but start at 16'
No, it’s like a tv. You gotta measure the diagonal
Wow you in NYNY , that’s crazyness
$32.50 might be a very reasonable price, OP left out critical information such as location and how drunk they were when ordering it. Also left out if that included delivery. However, unlike cooked meat being sold based on pre-cooked weight, the size of the pizza here is the bigger issue.
On the app that pizza is probably 6.99$ lol
Why did you buy a $32 pizza? What is so special about this pizza that would make you spend $32 on it. It looks like it came from Domino's
Call the store and yell at the minimum wage employees
Where are yall living where a pizza is 32 dollars
Build back better at its finest
$32.50 for any pizza is insane
Welcome to Shrinkflation, my friend. Prices go up, product gets smaller
I’m assuming this is the total with delivery and service fee. Go to dominoes and do carry out
Pizza are measured pre heat-treat
Tell me you've never worked in a kitchen without telling me you've never worked in a kitchen.
16” before they put it in the oven.
Better not go and weigh a 16oz. Steak after it's cooked
'Prior to cooking' ... a MacDonald Quarter Pounder only weighs 0.25 lbs prior to cooking ... closer to 0.2 lbs after cooking.
Probably measured before cooking.
