I am not a teacher, but want to be one, and you don't have to believe my answer. I am a student that really loves math and it comes easy to me.

rectangular pizza is larger by 155.44 in.
rectangular is the better buy

If each pizza has one inch of crust on the edges.
rectangular pizza crust- 25 in.
circular pizza crust- 9.42 in.
considering the size of the pizzas the rectangular one would have less. More than half of the circular pizza would be crust.

rectangular pizza area- 168 in.
circular pizza area- 12.56 in.
