Whether you have friends over or you just want to eat as much pizza as possible, it may make sense to order two medium pizzas instead of one large one. Though it’s not budget friendly, at least you get more of the delicious pizza, right?

Here's a useful counterintuitive fact: one 18 inch pizza has more 'pizza' than two 12 inch pizzas pic.twitter.com/hePSpG0pJs

Well, not exactly. As Fermat’s Library’s (@fermatslibrary) tweet shows, there are 28 more square inches of pizza in an 18-in pie than in two 12-in pies.

This is exactly why you should have paid attention at geometry classes in high school. Even though your logic tells you to go with two medium pizzas to get more food, a simple math formula proves that wrong.

In case crust is your favorite part, you’re better off with two smaller pizzas than one big one. The tweet below clarifies that.

Yeah, but the crust is arguably the best part and two 12 inch pizzas have 33.3% more crust than a 18 inch pizza. And now I'm hungry, thanks @fermatslibrary! pic.twitter.com/ZUfGicpcWG
