Freedom fighting is hard work. We need those extra calories.
There's a new trend picking up with these pizza places that build your own personal size flash baked pizzas.
Wouldn't this take like 15 mins to cook.
I had a pan pizza at Pizza Hut in Bangkok once, it seemed quite a bit smaller than 12 inches.
Can't speak to Pizza Hut, but Domino's small is 10" and medium pan pizza is 12".
No. It takes 3 - 4 minutes. A tiny bit slower than Chipotle. They use a 700 - 800 degree oven and the crust is thin. Blaze is fantastic. They are popping up all over Southern California.
OP is probably picturing something like this, which is a common pizza size in sitdown restaurants, brew pubs, etc. Can definitely manage on my own with no problems.
Nice beer choice. I love Boulevard BBQ.

Whereas this is what we're talking about when we talk about pigging out by eating a whole pizza.
well at least they didnt make the stupid mistake of adding pineapple to that pizza
talk about a food item that clearly doesnt belong on a pizza
nah, like 6minute or so

Not any bigger than anywhere else in the world that I've been to.
Not in an 800°F oven, which chains and concepts like Blaze or 800° use.
Everything is bigger when it is made with freedom
American Medium Size pizza. Good for one. Or for two to share as an appetizer.
I wish, that would be the American Dream.

I would say for most pizza chains:
Individual: 10"
Small: 12"
Medium: 14"
Large: 16"
Jumbo: 18"
Slices: 20"
with a few notes...
i. Individual size pizzas are only sold at sit-down restaurants. they're meant for one person to consume as a meal.
ii. 20" pizza's are cooked up and sold by the slice. generally only at lunch time and by fast food restaurants.
iii. Pizza sizes used to be 2" smaller. (i.e. Large used to be only 14") but over time standards changed.
Individual: 10"

Most pizza chains are 10" for small, 12" for medium and 14" for Large.
This is Papa Johns, Dominos, Pizza Hut, Hungry Howies, Little Caesars etc.

We have one in Brentwood, TN. Very good and pretty fast.
I can only eat a whole pizza if its thin crust. I could actually eat more than one probably. Thin crust just doesn't fill me up. :S
That's not new. Papa Murphy's has been doing that for years.There's a new trend picking up with these pizza places that build your own personal size flash baked pizzas.
Shit that's huge.
Pizza chains are almost all 14" large.
Don't know about normal, though I'm sure some people do that. I sometimes order a large 14" and eat half one day and the other half the next day.

Papa Murphys is take and bake right? they don't cook it there do they? never eaten one but that was my understanding
It's not like Papa Murphy's. They build it for you and bake it. Another similar franchise is Pie Five.

Here's a single slice of pizza from Bacci Pizzeria in Chicago:
We have a place near me that is really great. Best NY style I've had in the south since moving here from New England.
It was on the Food Network on Man VS Food because they have a giant pizza with over 11 pounds of meat on it...two people have to finish it to win. I've seen a couple of people attempt but never win...

"Medium"
Yeah we have Pieology in CA as well. They are all basically Subway/Chipotle for pizza. Pretty good pizza, better than big chains taste wise, but its a bit pricey for a smallish size.
Having eaten pizza in Europe, I wouldn't say the sizes are to different than what's in the US for the most part. Obviously we have a lot of joints that allow for bigger orders like Large and XL, or Costco/Sams Club with their 18" larges, but otherwise it seems pretty similar to me.
"Medium"
uh, no, that's kid's size, come on

Typically in the US, people buy pizza as a group activity - 2 or 3 people go in on a pie, and split it. Eating an entire large pizza alone is a shitton of calories, and not typically the behavior of a long-living individual.
You can still get smaller, personal-size pizza - but it isn't the norm.

You do know Italy is in Europe right? They know their pizza.
