I love pizza it is my down fall... I go to a place that serves an 18" new york style pizza but I can never figure out how to count it. Does anyone know of a comparable restaurant that I could look at the nutrition info? or any suggestions on how to track it?

    If you just type in 'new york pizza' in the search field, you get about a hundred hits. Just pick one that sounds similar.

    Food eaten in restaurants is difficult to figure. Even if you find the food, the numbers are likely to be off by a little or a lot.

    I agree with ^. Take subway for example. You can build your sub online and see how many calories and everything should be in the sub you ordered.

    However subway doesn't measure out your veggies or sauces. So if the person squeezed the bottle for an extra 1/2 second you have more calories and fat from your sauce. Or if you got a bit less veggies your vitamin counts are off... resteraunt foods are a guesstimate. But really that is close enough unless your eating out for most meals.

    If the pizza is cut into 8 pieces, you are talking about between 350 and 400 calories per slice.

    Pizza is what I am having as my treat meal when I reach my goal. I love love love LOVE it, but I am not capable of eating one slice. If there is a pizza in front of me, I am eating a thousand calories.

    sbarro is the closest thing to mass produced NY Style Pizza. Use that. Sparingly.

    New York Style pizza


    Usually between 250-350 for the healthier types

    Usually between 300-550 for the not so healthier types

    Pizzacato is a good one to look at for the bistro healthy varieties

    Otherwise just search new york pepperoni or whatever slice you get.

    My WW friends and I call this the great pizza debate. There is no answer to how many calories it has.
    I had 2 slices of a 16" NY pie and MFP said it was 700 calories.
    I've always counted 18" pie slices as 450 - 500 calories depending on how much cheese was on it.

    BTW.... My down fall too!

    One slice is seriously 350-400 calories?

    I was thinking 250. I'm not sure if it's different because I've never had New York style pizza, but 400 calories for one slice of pizza seems a bit high to me.

    Nope, for an 18 inch you are looking at almost 400 calories. Lets think about this, the tiny lean cuisine ones are 300. The crust alone is around 200, then add the cheese.

    Trust me, if a slice of pizza was only 250 calories, I would have a slice every day.

    I calculate it at 250 per slice. The NY style we get here has an extremely thin crust. I don't eat meat on my pizza, usually onions and mushrooms, sometimes some feta cheese.

    Oh Damn!

    The one I choose in the Database is;

    1 slice from and Extra Large Cheese Pizza = 280 calories.

    The best thing is to make your own. :flowerforyou:

    Ginnifer Goodwin is pretty hot, so I definitely take it as a compliment :-) I actually cut my hair really short like she had hers for a while, I'm growing it out now.

    Sabarro is comparable, but their nutrition info web site is down. I can't seem to find anyone else that has an 18" pizza... I have looked and looked, that's why I finally posted on here. My friends go there weekly so I really need to figure out how to count the pizza :(

    I found this and wanted to share... I know its been a while since I posted this topic, but there was soo much debate on the calories I thought I would share. Go to menu and locations and it will download a pdf and it will pull up their nutrition info for 12" and 18" pizzas.

    Just an FYI, I made my own with a wheat crust and soy cheese and one medium slice was 175 calories.

    I noticed that a lot of entries in the db put pizza around 120 calories. Didn't seem right to me so I dug up this old NYT article

    http://www.nytimes.com/1994/09/14/garden/eating-well-fat-by-the-slice.html

    Which places NY pizza between 480 and 613 calories (depending on where you go) ouch!

    Sbarro is NOTHING like an average ny slice of pizza. Us new yorkers scoff at Sbarros. Scoff, scoff. haha. just kidding. but seriously, sbarros blows.

    the cheese alone is about 100-200 calories.

    When choosing something from the food database, just make sure you choose the same size pie. That way you'll know that your slices are close to the same size. There is a HUGE difference between 1/8 of a 14 in h pizza and 1/8 of an 18 inch pizza.

    If all else fails, there's a Pizza Hut entry for pretty much every size and topping,

    That's not a good idea. Sbarro cuts pizzas into 6 jumbo slices, not the traditional 8.

    There's an entry in the database that's 475 for one NY style slice. That's the one I use. It's a big slice and I can get by with eating one. Seems about right.

    A single slice of Dominos cheese small hand-tossed pizza is 200 calories. So deep dish with other ingredients would not surprise me by being quite a bit more.

    I weighed a slice of what I consider to be "Normal" New York Style pepperoni and sausage. It came out to 480 calories for one slice. Pizza is my downfall too.. I just cant make it fit so I eat it very seldom :( When I log this, I find the one that is 480 cal - 1200 sodium) hit enter then cry

    I make my own pizza every week, and for half a pizza it is 799 calories. Each half is about 3 New York style sized slices, so lets call it 266 calories per slice. That is with homemade tomato sauce, fresh tomato slices, green peppers, Italian seasoning and mozzarella cheese. The dough is by far the most calorific component unless you're piling on extra cheese and meats, and I'd say a traditional New York Slice is very slightly thinner than what I make, so a rough guestimate would be 250 calories per slice if you had the same toppings.

    The crust alone on a 18" New York slice is over 200 calories. Compare it to a single flour tortilla. ITS SO SAD
