First (and last) time buying; wish I noticed this on the back. No one wants smaller pizza ffs.

Alt text: SABATASSO’S We did it! We packed big pizza flavour into a smaller size.

    First time you see this? Magnum did it years ago. They were saying “we made the magnum smaller because we care about your health”. Same price of course though!

    They went from 110 to 90 centiliter I think, 20% reduction in size. Magnums look small now.

    “Why are those small candy bars called ‘Fun Size’? What’s ‘fun’ about less candy?”

      Here in the UK they dropped fun size from the label and discontinued the regular ones

    The question is whether they’re talking about their sizes being smaller than they were, or whether they’re talking about it relative to other larger pizzas.

      These are indivdual pizzas, they appear to be 4.5" and less than half an inch thick. This one is on a small side plate. (And I had to add more mozzarella.)

      If you aren’t mildly infuriated by the wee size, you should be mildly infuriated that Our Corporate Overlords are trying to tell you Shrinkflation is a good thing. As I said-- who ever has said, "I wish i had less pizza to eat :)

      wee pizza

      Edit: missed a sentence.

        who has evet said, "I wish i had less pizza to eat :)

        I have said it before. But usually after eating way too much pizza.

        So this isn’t shrinkflation, this is a small size pizza that they’re trying to claim is still as tasty as a full pizza?

        Like, if you wanted a full pizza it should be pretty obvious it’s a small 4.5" pizza from the box?

      Yeah my problem is not that they offer smaller sizes, but when they try to deceive consumers about how much they are getting in order to increase the unit price. Calling attention to it the way that this pizza box does almost feels honest in comparison to what most companies do.
