  They can define the portion sizes arbitrarily, so the per-portion amounts don’t look so high

  I dunno about y’all, but I cut my pizza’s into 1/8ths, which would be smaller than 1/5.

    But do you have just one piece when you do?

    I’d be willing to bet that this particular pizza is very small, so most people would cut it into 1/4ths.

      I always cut my frozen pizzas into eighths. I eat the whole thing in one sitting either way, but I prefer smaller slices.

  The FDA is in charge of portion sizes. No one decides it on their own.

  What a company can do is fiddle with the total number of portions. Which is how you get 5 portions in this pizza.
