I'll go there sometime and put it to them straight, "can you make me THAT pizza right there, that you use for slices?"Pizza Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10280665603124117834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778156593001251884.post-6194549189226790882012-12-10T22:00:18.959-05:002012-12-10T22:00:18.959-05:00Pizza Guy,

First of all, there are 3 (three) pizzeria’s in Greater Rochester that sell a half-sheet and call it a large. That in itself is disingenuous. A half-sheet pizza measures 11" X 17" = 187 sq. inches of pizza. A traditional 16” inch diameter Lg Pizza = 200.96 sq. inches of pizza: (π(3.14) X (radius)²<br /><br />The slices you and you’re family enjoy, come from a 20” diameter ‘slice pie’. The amount of dough used to bake a ‘slice pie’ is different from the amount of dough used to bake an 11 X 17" half-sheet or Lg 16” diameter pizza.<br /><br />16" LG or 11 X 17 Half-Sheet = 30 oz dough<br /><br />20“ LG Slice Pie = 40 oz dough<br /><br />Dough Density Factor: (π(3.14) X (radius)² / weight<br /> <br />Conclusion – 11 X 17” Half-Sheet = 30 oz dough / 187 sq. inches = .1604 inches of dough per square inch. <br /><br />Conclusion - 16” Lg Pizza = 30 oz dough / 200.96 sq. inches = .1492 inches of dough per square inch<br /><br />Conclusion – 20” ‘Slice Pie’ = 40 oz dough / 314 sq. inches = .1273 inches of dough per square inch. <br /><br />There is less dough per sq. inch in the 20" diameter‘slice pie’. When ordering, the vast majority of customers would not know this.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />BellJarrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07087563967365646651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778156593001251884.post-42748226105909336672012-12-10T13:23:56.363-05:002012-12-10T13:23:56.363-05:00When I worked at tillos they added a 1/2 piece of ...When I worked at tillos they added a 1/2 piece of dough to make their large slicer pies. Definitely different than a normal large. More thick, chewy crust, and yes, crispier once it was reheated in the oven. Jon Boumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321703466386140090noreply@blogger.com
