Ok, so today is my planned cheat day and I was craving pizza. So my daughter and I went shopping at Costco and we decided to share a slice. So, now that I'm home I checked Costco nutritional information and wow there are 804 calories in one slice. Thankfully I only ate half but man, I really didn't anticipate it being that high!
Oh well!!

804 in one slice. are you sure you read that right. If you did, I am in big trouble.0

Did you eat 1/6 of the pizza? If you ate one slice of pepperoni-it is 348. How many slices were in the pizza- If there were 6 slices in the whole pizza you ate the 800-if there were 12 you had over 300.0

I went to a website that listed Costco's restaurant nutritional guide.
http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-nutrition-information-for-items-in-the-costco-food-court.htm
These slices are pretty big and I'm guessing it is about 1/6 whole a pizza.
It's horrible isn't it? :flowerforyou:0 -
Yes - 800 cals per slice is right. Terrible isn't it?? I learned the hard way too - I just gotta avoid pizza because I love cheese and bread - just too hard to eat just one slice, lol!!0

Last week I was so excited because our costco just got chicken wraps!!!! Woohoo! I had to email the company to get the nutrition for the healthy alternative...810 calories :sad: I should of had the pizza! luckily I only had half.0
-
I heard that if you actually BLOT all of the fat/grease off the top of the pizza, it takes from 50 to 100 calories off per slice! Some of the pizza's that dont use good cheese usually have enough to SOAK the paper towel!0

Hi
I love pizza
I buy a TJ frozen pizza..a 1/3 of the pie in only 270 cals and it's a nice size slice

That costco pizza is evil

Glad you posted this.
Friday's are Pizza/Movie night at our house. Think I'll have a salad instead. :noway:0 -
It seems every item on the costco restaurant menu is evil!
I knew it wasn't good for us but I have to admit I was a little shocked.
It was really good tho and I'm extremely glad I didn't have soda with it.
Have a great day everyone! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:0 -
Not on the cheese pizza right? Oh please say it ain't so!! I LUV Costco cheese pizza and the fudge bars dipped. But I digress... everything GOOD is BAD for you it seems.0

It's the pepperoni slices that are that high. Can you imagine how high the bacon one is? :noway:
I know, why can carrots have the same effect that high fats food have!!!

Whenever I have pizza, I find it hard to log the calories b/c it's from our hometown pizzeria and I don't have an accurate idea. A lot of the database is for frozen and prepackaged ones!0

costco slices are huge! They are like 3 slices in one! :laugh:0 -
Okay so what is the best frozen pizza to eat? I love pizza and right now I have suplemented with the Lean Cuisine. They are really good but my family enjoys it too. For the record I am on WW and I need it to be low cal, low fat, high fiber. This might be a wish list but I would also like to be able to eat more than 1 teasing peice!!!
ANY IDEAS??????0 -
OMG the last time I went to Costco I had 2 slices!!!!!!0
-
I'm with you Shannon.
I just hung up the phone ordering pizza for the family. I have a chicken salad I'm going to eat and planned to have a slice of pizza too. I think I need to reconsider.
If I'm going to waste calories and blow the budget it'll be on something waaayyyyyy better than pizza. Chardonnay!!!0 -
Find a cauliflower crust recipte. I saw one but haven't tried it yet. However, having indulged in my last piece of Cosco pizza for a while, i need to find it!0

I'm curious- Did you google 'costco pizza calories' and find a 6-year-old post here that inspired you to register to post a response? Not that there's anything wrong with that.0
-
Well, those slices are huge... This doesn't surprise me at all, actually.0
-
yep, it's right... BUT the take and bake is less due to the smaller slices. I usually just split it and it works out to a "normal" slice.0
-
For the price of a Costco pizza, I can afford to rip off
and eat all the meat, cheese, and veggie toppings
from one slice, but throw away the crust. Annnndd
still have a garden salad on the side.
I looooove eating "low-carb"!0 -
i'm lucky that i don't care for pizza, especially costco's. when i see it as i'm passing by, it looks so greasy.0
-
Store bought or from a restaurant pizza is always high. However, Costco seems over the top. Thanks for the heads up.0

Make your own. I make my own chicken and spinach alfredo pizza using part skim mozzarella, the Tyson diced grilled chicken, light alfredo, frozen spinach and the Boboli thin pizza crust and comes out to only about 250 calories a slice.0
-
And you know what that means? I get to eat more! Woot!0
-
The Costco pizza slices are so high in calories because a 'slice' is actually like 1/6 of an extra-large pizza. My teen and I split a 'slice' and both are full. If you want pizza but don't want the rest of the pizza in the house for future meals, it's actually a great choice. Get the cheese one if the pepperoni one is too greasy for you. :laugh:0

That's how I gained my weight... underestimating the tons of calories packed in reasonable portions when going out to eat. Great post! Thanks for the reminder!0

Walmart has a good THINK CRUST (we all know most of the calories are from the crust) Buffalo chicken pizza that's good!0

I don't want you to think that I'm picking on you, so please don't, but I'm unsure how anyone would look at a Costco Food Court slice of pizza and think it was a reasonable sized portion, but perhaps this is part of the problem.
That being said, if you want the pizza, have the pizza. Realistically, 800 calories for one meal isn't going to mess up your entire day unless you're not eating enough overall for the day. Plan, log, and eat what you want!0
