Five lines of arithmetic
Change any assumption you disagree with; the answer follows.
| Estimate actual eaters | 75 guests × 90% eating rate | 68 eaters |
| Calculate servings (as main dish) | 68 eaters × 3 pizzas per person | 204 base servings |
| Apply Super Bowl party modifier | × 1.3 (+30% for pizza) | 263 pizzas needed |
| Convert to pizzas | 263 pizzas ÷ 8 per pizza | 32.9 pizzas (raw) |
| Add 15% buffer & round up | 32.9 × 1.15 = 37.8, rounded up | 38 pizzas |
Every constant behind this figure is published, including the eating rate by guest count and the 15 percent buffer; read the methodology.

Food at a Super Bowl party
- Most of the food goes early in the game, so put the full spread out before kickoff.
- Wings are the #1 Super Bowl food - err on the side of too many.
- Set up a separate kids station if families are coming - they eat differently.
- Prep dips in slow cookers - they stay warm and free up oven space.
- Use halftime to refresh ALL food stations - you have exactly 25 minutes.
Super Bowl is the biggest food day of the year after Thanksgiving. The table above sizes the wings and the pizza. Add chips and dip generously on top, since they are cheap and they go fast. Make everything shareable and easy to eat without utensils. Cold foods should stay cold, hot foods in warming trays or slow cookers.
