    I imagine their pizza is long ago digested and pooped out.

    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

    I should probably note my pizzas are 11", so an 18" slice will be more than I estimated . When I started making pizza I was surprised just how many calories were in white flour, but I'd rather eat less than compromise on flavour by using a different flour.

    Just find anything with 80,000 calories. That'll do.

    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!

    This is where id be guessing the pizza was, it's really either a massive treat if you are going to eat it, but becayse of the calories its a major risk for your daily allowance. You can get much better bang for your calories elsewhere. You cna of course make your own pizza and a healthier version.
