Look for a large pizza chain that posts their nutritional information and find a similar pizza.
I always find it odd when Americans talk about pizza slices. The numbers mentioned are so massive per slice.
500-800 per slice. Is that slice the size of a dinner plate?
I'm having pizza tonight, all 8 slices, the whole pizza, is around the 1200 mark, so equal to 2 slices?
So when people say they only had 1-2 slices, it sound like they are restricting them selves but compared to me they are eating half or a whole pizza?
I need to go to America and see these pizzas for myself.

Domino's/Pizza Hut is like 300-400 per slice depending on toppings, if the stuff you're eating is bigger or cheesier than it probably has more.0

For me it's not worth the guessing. I'd rather eat something else that i know the calorie count on.
Maybe when I get closer to goal weight I'll be able to enjoy it again. But for now it's better to avoid.
It has fat protein and carbs, what is there to avoid???
The amount of fat protein and carbs..... It's hard to determine exactly how many calories are in one slice and I'm trying to be as precise as possible.
I also love pizza and used to eat way more than I should have. For me personally, it's best to stay away from it.
you do realize EVERYTHING is an estimate, right?
Listen internet police.... I told you my personal opinion on pizza..... Would you tell a gambler that it's ok to go hang out in a casino..... Or an addict to hang out in a crack house?
I understand all that stuff and I CHOOSE to avoid pizza because it's a food that is both harder to calculate calories than other foods, AND was a food I used to gorge myself on.
If you don't agree then fine go eat all the pizza you desire.... I'm not telling you or anyone else to not eat pizza.0 -

I said 500 to 800 per slice depending on the type of pizza because some slices have a lot more added to them than others. For example, my go to slice is usually a Margherita slice which has fresh whole milk mozzarella. Whole milk mozzarella is very calorie dense, so I estimate that at 500 to be safe when it's probably closer to 400. An 800 calorie slice would be on the rare occasion I indulge in a chicken parm or lasagna slice; NY mom and pop pizza places get very creative with their slices.
Again, it's better to overestimate calories than underestimate especially since, as a whole, people are notorious at underestimating the calories they consume.0 -
I'm in NYC too. I never assume any less than 350-and will log 400 sometimes.0
-
I have an entry I used for one of the pizza places down by West 4th St. I just call it "Big *kitten* NYC Pizza". Think I put 450 for it.0

2 slices from a medium to large pizza usually covers my dinner plates.
from http://www.dimensionsinfo.com/pizza-dimensions/In the United States, the small size is 10 inches and the medium size is 12 inches. The large size varies. In some restaurants, the large size is 14 inches. In others it is 16 inches. If the large
size is 16 inches, the 14 inch will be the medium.
The small size is still the 10 inch. Of course there are exceptions to this rule. Some smaller sized types come in at 4 inches or 8 inches. The usual homemade pizza size is 12 inches. Other countries might use different measurements, and some pizza makers serve pizza in square shapes. This means the measurement will be different.0 -
As a matter of fact, here's the lasagna slice I was referring to:
I refuse to accept a slice of that is any less than 500 calories.

Pizza without cheese is tomato pie. I love tomato pie. love, love, love it. I like pizza too. I think I log my NY style at 370 pretty much all the time. I only eat pizza maybe twice a month. The funny thing is that I make mine completely homemade from the crust to the sauce. I've even been known to make my own mozzarella. Conceivably, I could put all this in the recipe builder. I'm just lazy. And the recipe builder has been doing this thing where I put in all the ingredients and everything and when I save it, it says "cannot be saved." That's infuriating.0

Yoooo, I just went there last week! I didn't try the artichoke slice, but I logged the Margherita at 750 and the meatball slice at 650 because I tapped out on that one after 80% in. The Margherita was ridiculously cheesy goodness.0 -

Ha! See. I was wondering if I was over-doing it with that 800 cal. guess but seems like you are coming up with something similar. My roommate offered me hers and I was like, yes-I want this. But I can't have it now. So I cut it into two slices and froze it. Before I froze it I gobbled down two bites and think I logged like 200 just for the bites.0 -
i estimate my local nyc pizza slices at about 230 calories.0

If you took the time to actually read my posts you would see that I'm not talking about pizza specifically, I'm talking about trigger foods (of which pizza was a big one for me) that I used to abuse before I started to take control of my weight.
Its not my fault if you arnt intelligent enough to recognize the comparison between "avoiding foods that triggered binge eating" and "people with gambling problems avoiding places where gambling takes place".
Have an absurd day.

It depends on the place and most places publish that info online, actually... I did a pizza experiment today myself, so that's how i know: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10328978/pizza-is-a-balanced-breakfast
