Pie charts are not about the raw numbers, they are about quickly and roughly showing who ate how much of the pizza. In many pie charts, 5% and 10% looking similar is a benefit, not a problem (because in many cases 5/10% are effectively the same - minor but non-negligible portions). Bar charts are not a great option for this.
