I think that's way way low.
That's 784,080 square feet. I'll approximate that as 784k medium pizzas.
There are ~314 million people.
So that's 0.0025 pizzas per person per day.
If we bump that up on the premise that only half the population eats pizza, IE babies, old, infirm, don't like pizza, etc.
We get 0.005 PPD.
That's one pizza every 200 days.
I could not go 200 days between pizzas
It hurts me that you would even post something like that

18 acres of pizza? Now the is a farm I want to visit. I better stop off at the store one the way home and get some pizza seeds.

Here's something a bit closer to believable, 100 acres a day:

That factors my previous calculation to one pizza every 36 days.
I'm thinkin' that's still low.
