How much lasagna per person?

In short

Plan on an 8 oz portion of lasagna per person as a main, which is a piece roughly 3 by 4 inches. A full hotel pan cuts into about 12 of those, so 50 guests needs four full pans plus a half.

Planned at finished weight, so what you make is what you serve.

These are standard food-service planning figures, not fixed constants. Real yield moves with cut, trim level, cooking method, and how long the food is held. Weigh your own results once and adjust the factor to your kitchen.

Things that change the number

Cut a full pan 3 across by 4 down for 12 generous portions, or 4 by 5 for 20 smaller ones.
With salad and bread alongside, portions drop to about 6 oz and a pan stretches to 16.
Lasagna must rest 20 minutes before cutting or the portions collapse on the spatula.
