Pizza Slice Angle

Work out how many degrees each slice spans when you divide a round pizza evenly. Perfect for planning parties, guiding kitchen staff, or comparing portion sizes between slice counts.

Enter how many equal slices you want to cut from one whole pizza.

Use a food-safe cutting guide or template to keep slices consistent and avoid injury.

Examples

  • 8 slices ⇒ 45° per slice, the standard large pizza cut.
  • 6 slices ⇒ 60° per slice, yielding larger portions.
  • 12 slices ⇒ 30° per slice, ideal for appetizers or tasting events.

FAQ

Does the pizza size matter?

The angle depends only on slice count. Diameter affects the actual crust length but not the degrees per slice.

How can I convert the angle to radians?

Multiply the degree result by π/180 to get radians (e.g., 45° ≈ 0.785 rad).

What if I want two different slice sizes?

Run the calculator twice—first for the large slices, then for the smaller ones—and mark your cutting guide accordingly.

Additional Information

  • Formula: Degrees per slice = 360° ÷ number of slices.
  • Smaller angles correspond to thinner slices; bigger angles produce heartier wedges.
  • For rectangular pizzas, use total area ÷ slices instead of an angular calculation.
