    It will look like a little bite, compared to a nice WHOLE pizza !!

    Probably a little less than a 1/4 slice ??? xx

    Take the pizza, break it up into 5 equal parts. One of those is 1/5 of the pizza. It depends on how big of a pizza you have as to the actual size. It's going to be a little smaller than 1/4 (breaking the pizza up into 4 equal parts).

    Here's an image that shows an example: http://www.clipartstation.com/clipart_indexer4/index/retrieve?id=21162&size=100x100&download=0

    It's a little less than 1/4 of the pizza...So if you cut the pizza into 8 slices (which is normal) then that's almost 2 slices.

    lol. i agree with the accountant boi :) usually a 1/4 of a pizza consists of 2 slices so you are looking at something a little smaller than that.

    If someone's slicing their pizza into fifths, that someone is doing it wrong IMO.

    I've never in my life seen that size slice. Its unecessarily difficult! 1/4s or 1/8s are much more common.

    Believe it or not, some frozen pizza brands have 1/5 of a pizza as a serving size. (I've seen this on Digiornio pizza)

    This is soo funny. My husband made the Giant Foods Pizza last night and out of sheer curiousity i always read the labels now and noticed the serving size was 1/5 of a Pizza......I went to bed last night drawing images in my head of how you could do this....an I'm an accountant :-)

    I would just multiply the nutritional information by 5, divide by 4 and eat a quarter of it. Or, if it is in the database here I would still eat a quarter of it, but add it as .25 of the entire package.

    That's what I do!

    Just tell the pizza maker to cut the pizza into 5ths (5 pieces). But you need to know the size to get more accurate calorie count. Also you can always draw a circle and cut it into 5 equal pieces. Remember a fraction of Anything is the Whole Thing cut into equal pieces of whatever the bottom number is.

    1/5th of a pizza is actually pretty big! Most Medium and Small pizzas are cut into 1/6 (6 Slices) a Large is usually cut into 1/8 (8 slices).

    A lot of frozen pizzas are set up that way (1/5) is a serving. I've even seen 1/6 as a serving....Rarely do I eat pizza anymore, and when I do it better be worth it and I'll probably eat a little more than 1/5 depending on the size hehhee...
