    If you don't have a food scale I would go with slices

    Can you look up the nutrition data for Domino's, then go with the one that is closest to actual?

    Do you have a food scale? Go with grams.

    No food scale? Go with slices.

    The difference in calories by slice and by gram are due to rounding. The larger the portion, generally the more accurate the calories.

    are you looking at 2 different food entries? If so, that means 2 different people put in the info. Look up Dominoes website and see what it says. The food info that users enter can be wrong.

    The reality of it is, either one is going to be inaccurate, because no restaurant can guarantee that the ingredients from one pie to the next, or the slices for that matter, will be of the same proportions. The calories are approximations at best, and you have to use your noggin for it. I would go with grams, because lord only knows what slice they are talking about... at least grams are the same across the board.

    Why don't you disclose the exact Domino product you're talking about so we can look at it and get a better handle on your problem.
