Pizza Pi

If you've ever been offered two 6 inch pizzas instead of one 12 inch pizza, or if you've been baffled by a menu deliberately designed to confuse you, this app could help! Pizza Pi allows you to enter the details of two different deals on Pizza and the app will determine which is the best deal. The easy to use form allows you to quickly enter the details of the deals, and a colour coded results screen displays the following details for each deal: Total Price Number of pizzas in deal Pizza size Total area of pizzas in deal Cost per square inch of pizza And of course, most importantly, how much more expensive one deal is compared to the other! The results screen uses colour coded panels so the best deal will always be shown in green, with the worse deal shown in red. Screenshots generated at https://screenshots.pro
