I've been known to order an extra pizza largely because if I order a single
medium pizza, I find myself two pieces away from finishing the whole thing
and going "well heck, only two pieces left -- might as well eat them and
avoid the untidiness of having leftovers", whereas if I order two pizzas,
eating both of them doesn't seem reasonable.  (It's also a better price
(per unit) because of the way the pizza place's pricing works.)

It might seem silly to play games with yourself, but I believe in knowing
your weaknesses, and pizza is one of mine.

Another technique I've used in the past is to get one pizza and immediately
take out half of the pieces, individually wrap them in foil, and put them
in the freezer.  In a fight between gluttony and laziness, laziness wins
often enough that this technique can work.
