Will you help me calculate the approximate calories in a slice of this pizza?

I occasionally purchase an oven-baked pizza from a local grocer. It is a 12 inch pizza, cut into 8 slices, baked on a normal crust. The nutrition facts are not available; however I do have the ingredients. Note that these ingredients are not in order as they are under the 'may contain info' (although I have been assured these are the only ingredients, as I have food allergies)

The ingredients include:
Mozerella, Parmasean, Feta, Romano, and Provelone Cheeses, Flour, Salt, Sugar, Active Dry Yeast, Tomatoes, Oregano, Basil, Garlic, Thyme, Olive Oil, Red Pepper, Onions, Artichokes, Mushrooms

Thank you! I am not very good at estimating this sort of thing, and I know that caloric content of pizzas can vary wildly.

    I'd play it safe and put "food court pizza" in the search field and then look for the vegetarian options that come up. Costco might be close.

    If I have to guess, I pick something that is similar. If I had to log pizza, I'd probably pick Pizza Hut and log whatever they had that was similar. Since there is just no way to know, pick something, plug it in and go with it. :)

    If pizza is something you like to have a lot and you really want to know the calorie totals, you might try making your own pizza. I'm not a big pizza fan and almost never make it - never, for myself - but I like mine better than any pizza place. You might, too. :)

    If you know the ingredients you can custom create recipes in the app

    I have found that the Dominos website is very thorough for estimating pizza calories. You can build your own pizza and it will give the calories.
