Math just got important!

Now, if you really want to get to the nitty gritty, the depth of the crust is not given for either slice. But Chicago pizzas can suck a dick, and in terms of value in a pizza; without knowing the composition, the crust is essentially worthless. It is also impossible to determine either the viscosity of the cheese, or the thickness of the pepperoni.

We can, however, estimate a diameter of 1.5 inches per sliced sausage. Which works out to an area of 1.77". With ~7.1 slices on specimen A, we get 1.77 × 7.1 = 12.57 square inches of pepperoni. On specimen B, ~8.3 pepperonis comes out to 14.69 inches of delicious cured meat.

Moving onto the cheese, we have to assume a standard crust handle width of 0.75 inches. This gives us a radius of 5.25, for an area of 27.56(pi)÷6 or 14.42 square inches of cheese on A. With B having a radius of 6.25, we get 15.33 square inches of gooey bovine lifeforce.

Here is where it gets tricky. Some would argue to include the sauce as a topping, but as a sauce minimalist (again, fug deep dish) I disagree. Seeing as most pizzerias don't charge for extra sauce, this view has merit. Also, assigning a value ratio between the meat and cheese on a pizza is dangerous territory: a quick survey among your friends would quickly devolve into primal grunts and war paint. To avoid this landmine, we will simply rely on standard pizza place pricing practices, whereby extra cheese costs the same as extra pepperoni.

Finally, adding together the 12.57 inches of pepperoni and the 14.42 inches of cheese, we get $1.50÷26.99" for a price of 5.56 cents per square inch for specimen A. With a topping total of 30.02" and a price of $1.70, specimen B works out to 5.66 cents/inch. Clearly, Speciman A is the better option, unless one of them its stuffed crust, then all bets are off.

Crust, cheese, pepperoni, etc isn't specified so I assume it is a constant quality, thickness, etc between the two and you are just trying to maximize amount of pizza per dollar spent.

So you need to calculate the area of each slice and do a ratio of each area to their respective price. Using  area=((n degrees)/360))*pi*r^2, I get areas of approx. 18.87 and 19.26 respectively. Option B is bigger. Option B is also more costly.Doing a ratio with price, I get 12.58 sq inch per dollar for option A and 11.33 sq inch per dollar for option B. So option A is the better deal.

    • I'm happy with TMac, but Tyler Warren was last season's Tyler Linderbaum for me in that he was at a position that wasn't one of the five pillars but he was the best player at his position AND one of the top talents in the draft. I cannot fuging wait for the Panthers to start winning again so that those guys fall to us like they seem to for teams like Baltimore & Philadelphia.
    • Still working on consuming all of these so I don't have summaries available, but I figured there might be another Huddler or three trying to kill time before tonight's final preseason game.   Panthers Blueprint: Training Camp The in-house produced Blueprint series has given behind-the-scenes look on the field and off. Start the day with Robert Hunt's family, be in the morning meetings, mic'd up players during practice (Jaycee, Rozeboom, Icky, and Bryce), roster evaluations by the staff, and plenty of camp highlights capping off with FanFest.   Processing Blue (Mike Kaye & Alex Zietlow Mike and Alex are back talking about a variety of topics including but not limited to: joint practice + preseason game vs. Houston, Trey Hendrickson trade rumors involving Carolina, training camp awards, draft pick draft, and various thoughts about the team.   Jordan & Jake 706: Opening Day Another in-house Panthers' production, the most recent episode of Jordan and Jake talk about how to properly balance intensity in practice, react to the starters being shutdown for the preseason finale, share their thoughts on the newest Panther QB, and more.   Raw Room - Ep 278 - Gas Pedal (ft. Mike Davis) Assistant special teams' coach Darren Bates' Raw Room podcast has former Panthers' RB Mike Davis on his weekly podcast. I'm about halfway through this one and it's been a lot of fun. The Raw Room guys (DB, his friend Alex Sweets, former Eagles/Chargers OT King Dunlap, and former Atlanta DB Jalen Collins) are hilarious and Mike fits right in. They talk about his football experience coming up, decommitting from Florida and how he decided on South Carolina, and more. Warning: If you're the type of person that is easily distracted by accents, despite XL being on the team, you might have issues with understanding the Memphis dialect. If you don't care about how somebody talks, just what they're talking about, tune in!
