    I'd say 2000 easy if it's deep fried (What the heck is deep fried pizza, anyway?!?)

    I looked at a frozen grocery store pizza this weekend - thin crust, pepperoni. 16" I think. The whole pizza was around 2,300 calories!

    Yours looks fresh and fabulous! :)

    Sweet Jesus Mother of God that is beautiful.

    I'm legitimately going to order pizza now.

    My guess is around 1400, but it looks like it's worth it. Don't sweat it and just get yourself back on track ;)

    I think it is SO hard to estimate this kind of thing, it's best to just say it was good and move on.

    If you wanted a TOTAL WILD BALLPARK, well. You could look up say, a fry bread for nutritional info for the crust, and then estimate the toppings. Deep fried foods are often overestimated, I think, because if they are done right, at the proper temperature, they actually don't absorb as much oil as people assume. Or you could take a similar-sized pizza and add a tablespoon or two of oil as an estimate. But even a tablespoon of canola oil is only 124 calories, so...really it's probably not as bad as you think.

    Oh, and for people wondering what it is, they just deep-fry the dough. Add the toppings and finish it off so the cheese gets melty.

    One slice of papa johns with chicken and a couple veggies is 210 cals each, so call this 2k, be glad you enjoyed it, and do some extra tomorrow!

    If I had a pizza that looked like that, I'd eat the whole darn thing too!!!!!!! Looks amazing!!
