    Are you going to have other things with them... fries, coleslaw, garlic bread etc. or just pizza?

    Make your own Pot Noodles using a flower pot, sawdust and some old shoe laces. Pour in boiling water, stir then allow to stand for two minutes before taking one mouthful, and throwing away. Just like the real thing!

    At a rough guess, I would allow half a pizza per child, so 11 pizzas, plus maybe an extra 4 between the adults. So roughly 15 pizzas.

    Expensive sleepover lol!

    Also worth bearing in mind that most pizza delivery places will do pizzas with half one topping half another if asked, so each child could then choose their pwn topping(s), and there would be no fighting (chance would be a fine thing!)

    I'd guess somewhere in the range of 10 large ones... so approx 1 pizza per 3 people.

    if you're inviting my lot.. they can ALL eat a full 12' pizza to themselves.. including the 3 year old!!!

    I'd go for half a pizza each.. you should get a few free garlic breads and if you ask nicely some fries too!!! When we bought 14 pizza's we got a free garlic bread and 2x2L bottles of fizzy junk. We had no kitchen for a week so ran out of things to cook in the microwave and had outstayed our welcome going to rellies for dinner lol

    Will you have the use of an oven??

    I only ask 'cause Lidl do a pack for pizza which includes the dough ready rolled in greese proof paper. The kit also includes the sauce. You just add your own topping. These should feed two Brownies easily, would be good fun, & would work out much cheaper (one box is £1.45 I think). My Ds's love them. :D

    Get the fizzy pop out before the pizza arrives that way most will be full before they even start eating :)

    Phone up the pizza place and negotiate a good deal,either cheaper price and/or extras.

    I am sure if you ordered 15 pizza they would only be happy to give you a good deal especially if their is competition near by from other take away outlets;)

    It's a good idea to ring in advance anyway - I did something similar with my Guide unit and the pizza place wanted advance warning, as they get a lot of crank calls ordering loads of pizzas lol :)
