How accurate is the calorie counter?

I'd double check that you're understanding of the packaging you have is correct. Looking in the Database, it shows that half the pizza is either 260 calories or 312, depending on the size. This actually seems low to me, but you're seeming to suggest that this is high? Which means you think the whole pizza should only be 260/312?
I suspect the base of the pizza alone is at least 250.

And if you bought it in store, then the nutritional information shows that half a pizza is 312 calories.

You're preaching to the choir there! Same with whoever does those pizzas where they've removed a load from the middle and replaced it with salad. They just took the best bit out of the pizza!

Are you sure about that entry? NO sodium at all in a commercial food product? That's not user-entered by someone who doesn't care about tracking salt?

Good thing the FDA is changing how calories are displayed. Companies have until July 26, 2018 to comply. I go to make a small package of popcorn, and it says "serving size is 2 tbsp unpopped" and I'm just like ".............really? You expect me to open the back of popcorn and then pop it separately? Why not even put how many cups it is popped?"

The changes coming in 2018 will also put realistic expectations of a serving size. 1 12oz soda will be 1 serving. Also, 1 24 oz bottle will be 1 serving size because, typically, when people get a small package of something, they eat the whole thing. Not part of it.

I really hope this happens, and applies to the UK as well.
Because once, a chicken wrap made me cry.
Let me explain.
I had finished at the gym. I was almost 3 stone down from my original weight. I was exhausted, and wanted to grab a post-gym snack/meal.. Pottering around the local Morrisons, my husband and I picked up a couple of things. Something catches my eye, and I pick it up. A wrap 'kit' - essentially, some chicken, cheese, sauce, and a wrap, separated out.
It was cheap, and the calorie information on the front said something like 250 calories. Woah. Awesome! So in my basket it went.
We got home, and as I opened the packet, I looked at the front again. 250 calories, for the pieces of chicken.
Just the chicken.
Were they expecting people to only eat the chicken and throw the rest of the kit out?!
On the back they then had everything separated out. Now, I understand that bit, as some people might not use the sauce or might not use the cheese. But on the front, should have been the calorie information for a portion, like, one wrap or something.
I added up the entire kit, which I'm pretty sure made two wraps, and I slid to the floor in my kitchen and I cried. I was very very tired that day, and I was trying so damn hard to be healthy. People who haven't had to go through what overweight people go through won't understand, but it is a battle, every damn day.
And here was a company MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT.
I was so angry. So upset.

So, I complained to Morrisons, who are a big name brand. And y'know what? They fixed their packaging and apologised. But this is happening all the time.
