A slice is treated as ≈ 100 cm² (about a 30 cm round cut into 7) and a rectangular piece as ≈ 36 cm². Dough weight = pan area × 0.6 g/cm², so a 30 cm round is 424 g of dough.

the larger pizza is better value
Doubling the diameter quadruples the area: 30 cm → 40 cm is 1.778× the pizza, so the bigger one only wins if it costs less than that multiple.

About this tool

It also compares two pizza sizes on true area rather than diameter, and runs entirely in your browser.
