I think the trick is "XL" is not a standard size. Some places top out at 12 inches, other places go to 16 inches.
Here's a 12" recipe:

12 inches is quite small, definitely not "XL". New York pizzas, very well-known for their size, are typically 18 to 24 inches in diameter. I think that'd be a good reference for an "XL" American pizza.
Yeah, like I say, it's not a standard. :) This was an argument we had with an idiot teacher on some kids homework back in the day.

"Marty ate 4/6 of his pizza, Luis ate 5/6 of his pizza. Marty ate more pizza than Luis. How is this possible?"
Kid wrote "Marty's pizza is bigger than Luis' pizza" and got marked wrong. Even though the question stated it as fact and asked for an explanation.
A 12" pizza would be 113 square inches. 4/6 would be 75.3 square inches.
A 7" pizza would be 38.48 square inches. 5/6 would be 32 square inches.
It's possible for this to be true and for their pizzas to be the same size if the size of the pizzas are 0 cm in radius. Then they have both eaten nothing.
