But in abstract: r=sqr(V/(2*Pi*a))

But we're not getting the volume, and therefore not the area, and so don't know the radius.

Oh, hadn't thought of that -- only that the thickness was on a different axis than the circumference and radius (the Z-plane, if one were to stupidly set the pizza upright).
