The sample runs Red Pies, White Pies, Toppings, By the Slice, Salads and Starters, and Drinks and Dessert. Each pie is one line with two labeled prices, 12 inch and 16 inch, so the sizes read side by side.

What belongs on a pizza menu

A pizza menu is a small grid in disguise: every pie in every size, plus toppings that change the price. The design job is to make that grid readable without printing a table.

  1. Red pies, by size

    One line per pie with a price for each size you sell, up to three. The sizes go in the note under the heading too, for anyone ordering by phone.

    • Cheese12 inch 16 / 16 inch 21
    • Pepperoni12 inch 18 / 16 inch 24
  2. White pies

    No tomato, split out so the guest looking for one finds it. A clam pie or a ricotta pie usually lives here.

    • Clam pie22
  3. Toppings

    Priced per topping for each size, with the same labels as the pies, so the counter never has to work out the large.

    • Pepperoni or sausage12 inch 3 / 16 inch 4
    • Mushrooms, onions, or peppers12 inch 2 / 16 inch 3
  4. By the slice

    For the counter, with the hours in the note. Two or three slices and a slice of the day.

    • Cheese slice4
    • Slice of the day5
  5. Starters, salads, drinks

    Garlic knots, wings, a chopped salad, fountain sodas, a cannoli. Short and cheap to make from pizza prep.

    • Garlic knots7
    • Cannoli5

Example lines and prices show format only. They are not pricing advice.

How Classic American sets it

Classic American sets one centered column with dotted leaders to the price, which reads the size grid well: each pie’s 12 inch and 16 inch prices sit side by side at the end of its leader, labeled in small caps.

Section notes print in italic under the heading, so the size rule and the topping rule each take one line. That keeps the pie descriptions to ingredients only.

Pizzerias print a lot of takeout menus. The PDF’s cover carries the QR code to the live menu; print it on the takeout menu too, so a menu on someone’s fridge still opens tonight’s prices.

Prices on a pizza menu

Sizes are labeled prices on one line: up to three per pie (a 10 inch, a 12 inch, a 16 inch). Toppings take the same labels, so the upcharge for each size sits beside it.

Toppings are one line each with a price per size. The section note only has to say they are per topping.

Cheese prices move more than most ingredients. When they do, the menu price increase calculator rounds a percent increase across every pie the way menus round.
