Five lines of arithmetic
Change any assumption you disagree with; the answer follows.
| Estimate actual eaters | 25 guests × 95% eating rate | 24 eaters |
| Calculate servings (as main dish) | 24 eaters × 3 pizzas per person | 72 base servings |
| Apply corporate event modifier | × 0.6 (-40% for pizza) | 43 pizzas needed |
| Convert to pizzas | 43 pizzas ÷ 8 per pizza | 5.4 pizzas (raw) |
| Add 15% buffer & round up | 5.4 × 1.15 = 6.2, rounded up | 7 pizzas |
Every constant behind this figure is published, including the eating rate by guest count and the 15 percent buffer; read the methodology.
Pizza for a corporate event, by guest count

| 25 guests this page | 7 pizzas | 43 |
| 50 guests | 12 pizzas | 81 |
| 75 guests | 18 pizzas | 122 |
| 100 guests | 22 pizzas | 153 |
| 150 guests | 34 pizzas | 230 |
| 200 guests | 42 pizzas | 288 |

Food at a corporate event
- Elegant finger foods that don't require utensils or create mess are ideal.
- Vegetarian and dietary options are essential, so plan a solid share of the spread as veg-friendly.
- Shorter events need less food, and these tables already assume a three-hour corporate format.
- Evening events tend to go through more food than lunch events, since guests arrive hungrier.
- Avoid foods that stain (red sauces, turmeric) - people are in work clothes.
Corporate events require elevated finger foods. Think caprese skewers, shrimp cocktail, bruschetta, and elegant cheese boards. Avoid anything too casual or messy. Price the spread against your own caterer's rates, which vary far more than the quantities do.
