Two

Find the ratio of each ingredient by dividing the amount you have by the amount needed for 1 pizza.

crust #3/1=3#
tomatoes #8/3=2.67#
cheese #6/2=3#
pepperoni # 4/1=4#

The lowest whole number will tell you how many pizzas you can make which is #2#.

You cannot make #2/3# of a pizza (even if you make it smaller it is still a whole pizza).
