It is my experience that most people strongly overestimate how many slices of basic pizza that they can eat. I've had people swear to my face that they could get five whole pizzas down their gob, and I absolutely call shenanigans on this.
Because when I was young and living with uni students who saw any money they spent on food as money they were not spending on booze - and so were often ravenously hungry - we would go to Pizza Hut, which at that time had an all-you-can-eat buffet. And some of the hungriest people I've ever met in my entire life could not get above 30 slices. My own record was a paltry 23, which isn't even three pizza.
So when I hear any claims of being able to deal with the 40 slices that would come with five pizzas, I feel I can easily dismiss these boasts. People always think they can eat more pizza than they really can. It's a scientific fact.
