If you buy a small pizza, how the heck do you have leftovers?

I'm getting tired of puns and such with pi.

Why can't we make puns with "e," or phi, or the Kepler–Bouwkamp Constant?

That sounds like circular reasoning...

It might limit the sequence of puns too.

The Domino's near me has daily carry out specials for a Large 3 topping pizza for about $8.  If you get the same small pizza, it still comes out to nearly $8.  Might as well get the large and get 2 or 3 meals out of it. 

I didn't need pie or cake to figure that out!!!  :old:

Geometrist? Is that a word now?

Little Caesars, true to their Roman theme, wholeheartedly embraces the classical wisdom of πr2 by offering only one size of their traditional pizza—14"—making it impossible to overpay.

If they're embracing the wisdom of πr2, shouldn't they be making square pies?

But if you're eating in moderation, it sure beats the diabetus.

No. Pizza is round, cut into triangles, and comes in a square box. It is as it should be.

No, a triangle has three straight sides. A pizza has two [more or less] straight sides and an arc. The only known geometric description for that is "pizza slice."

I don't care if the pizza is shaped like a moebius strip.
