C'mon, don't leave us hanging how big was the pizza?

The "large" would have been called "medium" back in the States. I guess "small" would be "personal".

Would it not be more useful to size a pizza in terms of diameter, not number of slices or how many people its supposed to feed? As you point out, a 6cm diameter pizza can be sliced into 16 pieces, but also some people just naturally eat more than others anyway.

Obviously they cut the pizza into sixths when they feel that they're not hungry enough for eight slices.

That's logic, that is.
