Medium compared to small and large

  • A 12-inch medium has 44% more pizza than a 10-inch small.
  • A 14-inch large has 36% more pizza than a 12-inch medium.
  • Two mediums give 226 square inches. One large gives 154.

Two mediums are more pizza than one large, so a two-medium deal can be good value. Put the prices into the size comparison tool to check.
