1 answer

We know that there were 64 pieces of food in total and each person had 5 pieces of pizza, so the total number of pizza pieces is 8 * 5 = <<8*5=40>>40 pieces.
Therefore, the number of mozzarella sticks is 64 - 40 = <<64-40=24>>24 pieces.
Since there were 8 people total, the number of mozzarella sticks each person ate is 24 / 8 = <<24/8=3>>3 pieces. Answer: \boxed{3}.
