Having trouble figuring out a food's nutritional info

So I'm in Illinois and my boss decides today, Hey I'm going to buy lunch for the whole department. So she orders pizza (I was off yesterday so I had no idea this was going on until I got in) and it's chicago-style thin crust, round pie cut square. I had 6 squares. It was just cheese.

I have tried looking it up by the pizzaria but they were no help and I've tried googling and found nothing. HELP!

    I usually just pick something that's pretty close (or a little more) than what I HONESTLY think it was. I eat at a lot of small mom-and-pop sushi restaurants, so I always have to guess when it comes to those. Once and a while is okay! :smile:

    I primarily use LiveStrong for a lot of nutritional info, and according to their site, a slice of generic thin crust cheese pizza is roughly 200 calories, 18 carbs, around 8 - 10g of fat, 18 - 20g of carbs, 8 protein, and 0 - 1g of fiber.

    You could approximate how many square-cut pieces count as 1 slice and estimate from there. Again, these are just approximations. If you know a chain that has a similar style of pizza quality, you could use that information as a basis to go by.

    Do a search for Chicago Style Thin Crust Cheese Pizza Nutrition. If I can't find a certain restaurant, I usually do a search for the particular food and I usually find it that way.
    Good luck!

    I've tried googling for chicago-style thin crust square cut pizza any combo of those words and found zilch.

    And apparently I'm too tired right now to reply because it took me 5 minutes to type the above line into actual coherent words.

    I give up. My day is just blown.
