Print and cut one set of game cards and as many pizza fraction placemats as you have party guests. Print one extra pizza placemat.
Spread pizza sauce on the pizza crusts and top with mozzarella cheese and additional toppings.
Bake the pizzas according to the directions on the pizza crust package.
Using the extra placemat as a guide, cut each pizza into eighths.
