I went there for lunch... Tried to find their nutrition information on my phone, but the app wasn't showing the nutrition page for some reason. So I went to the entrance and checked on the touchscreen, found that chicken dish that was only 360 calories... Checked the menu, it said it came with 2 sides, sounded good to me, was going to order veggies. Guy comes and say 'oh no it's a pasta dish'. I'm like, ok, well the nutrition said it's low calories, sure...

Huge plate, a ton of pasta. 360 calories... right. I ate all the chicken and left 2/3 of the pasta. Turns out the whole dish was 1190 calories. Thanks Uno... not. I have no idea how many calories I actually ate...

    Eh. Unos is just ok in my book.

    I will say this, I had a deep dish pizza flown out to me from Chicago last month and to my surprise it tasted exactly like Unos. So they did get it right.

    Unos is one of those places you can't just go with a 380 calorie allowance for the meal. I'm thinking more like 8-900.

    Wait.. you get get food FLOWN out to you?! You just opened so many doors lol

    Yea. People thought I was nuts but I had to see what the big deal was. I have a friend who was going there for 2 day and brought it back for me from what's supposed to be the best pizza joint out there. NY wins hands down imo.

    NY style pizza is surely the way to go! I keep joking with my friends that we need to make the Uno's go out of business here and put in a Sonic in its place. I mean, I live in NY - why should we have Chicago style pizza? :D

    Some days are going to be like that. As long as it's not every day, it's really nothing to worry about. Although it's a shame the calories were so underestimated. I'd be pissed wishing I'd ordered something more sinful!

    Sometimes that is the way to go! I do if a lot, my old roommate did it even more ( she is a commercial airline captain).
