Wondering if anyone has any thoughts on how many calories are in one average slice of sicilian pizza? I give 250-300 cal per slice for regular pizza from a local pizzeria. This is store bought (A&P) product called Via Roma-bought their uncooked sicilian pizza but doesn't give any nutritional info =0(
The database gives one slice 670 cal!! I just can't believe that! HELP!!!!!!

    I would just enter it in as a slice of pan pizza. Very similar...yum I'm jealous! Also adjust depending on the size of the square of sicilian compared to a slice of regular pan pizza.

    I'd certainly buy 670. It's a normal 300 slice plus all that extra dough! I also agree with Courtney and say if you can't find sicilian on the net just use pan.

    Chain pizza can run 300 and upwards per slice. By the time you've eaten 1/2 a pizza (4 slices), that's like your entire MFP daily allowance down the drain. Unless you make your own pizza, it's not worth the calories. Def make your own Za. It's tastier, healthier, cheaper, and not very hard to do.

    Regular hand tossed pizza slices even from Pizza Hut are easily 600-800 calories - so it's not a lo-cal item (even a piece!)

    But the pizza sounds good - and I am now hungry for something tasty!

    Lol...thanks for all the advice...we eat pizza once a week and it usually fits into my allowance, but we rarely eat sicilian...I only plan on having one slice and a large salad with 0 cal dressing...should be fine. I've just been so good with tracking, I'd like to stay as close to the range as possible....can't wait for dinner!!!

    WHOA!!! That's a wide range! I'll go with the 290-no more than 400 cal per slice...we have 18in of snow here in NY...I'm going to enjoy this slice for all ;)

    Relaeh,
    Yes, that last posting is a very wide range BUT if you notice the 2nd one listed says :
    1 Pizza (no idea how many slices included in this entire pie) as opposed to the 1st one
    was listing cals for 115 gr, which sounds like 1 slice.
    Just enjoy your dinner it sounds like you've got a good plan.


    Edited for spelling

    my trick with 1 slice of thick pie is to use the pizza cutter to make it 5 thin slices..........I make the plate look pretty with huge salad and veggies then put the slices around the edges to look all purdy......:love:
