And to take it one step further, I'm sure you've ordered pizza for more than one person, correct? Maybe on a date?
You've probably opted to order two 12-inch pizzas because, yeah two pizzas is OBVIOUSLY more than one pizza, and you were hungry...Well friend, I have some shocking news for you...
Twitter user Fermat's Library did a little math for those of us that are geometrically challenged and discovered something shocking:
Here's a useful counterintuitive fact: one 18 inch pizza has more 'pizza' than two 12 inch pizzas

A whole 28 square inches more pizza!
Also, you get more crust with the two smaller pizzas, which honestly is a no from me, dawg!
@fermatslibrary Also, the two 12" pizzas together have 33% more crust, which everyone knows is just a tragic waste of bread.
This is proof that math is important:
@fermatslibrary Finally! I can now coherently explain to my 10 year-old why math is important in life: without math, you might unknowingly spend more for less pizza!
Now, you know:
