      That pizza in the OP is clearly a roughly 40cm pizza, maybe even smaller.

      That’s the normal size from typical European fast food pizzerias. If you eat those, like I sometimes have, then you’re overeating by a lot.

        Definitely not typical in all of europe at least. Dominos here offers 25, 28, or 32cm diameter, and most other pizzas I’ve had, fast food or not, have always been in that range as well (though I can only speak for germany and the netherlands, haven’t had fast food pizza elsewhere and I don’t even really remember how big the pizza I had in italy 10 years ago was). 40cm is family size here (one local place used to have 50cm family pizzas, which are definitely 2 or even 1 slice per person territory).

      Depends on what else you’re eating during the day/week/month/the rest of the time.

      I think if you skipped breakfast and lunch on both sides of gobbling that whole pizza you’d be fine calorie-intake-wise, but probably feel like shit.

          I’ve been at some Turkish snackbar/pizza place that offered three sizes: M, L and US. That last one was a family portion by itself, damn!

          Though that still confirms that two to three slices being a single portion is a US thing.

          I’m in EU and I have like 10 pizza places that deliver to my home, with multiple sizes to choose from. most even offer a gigantic rectangular party pizza: the biggest size that fits in the oven.
