A “large” pizza is usually about 14 inches in diameter and is most often cut into 8 slices.

Typical large pizza size

  • In many US chains, a large pizza is defined as 14 inches across.
  • Some guides broaden this slightly and say a large is in the 14–16 inch range, depending on the restaurant.

Slices and servings

  • The standard cut for a large is 8 slices.
  • Some places may cut a similar‑size pizza into 10 or even 12 slices, but the overall amount of pizza is roughly the same.
  • A 14‑inch large often feeds about 2–4 people, depending on how hungry everyone is.

Size comparison (common US standards)

Label Diameter (inches) Typical slices
Medium 12–13″ 8
Large 14″ (often 14–16″ range) 8 (sometimes 8–10)
Extra large 16–18″ 10–12

A handy rule of thumb: if you see “large” on a typical US pizza menu, assume a 14‑inch pie with 8 slices unless that restaurant says otherwise.
