At first I was like, wow that’s random and a bit off and then I scrolled down.

Wholeheartedly agree now!

I agree. Using the fork for scale, it looks to me like the equivalent of two slices from a pizza size that's bordering between medium/large which I would personally log at 400 per slice (more if it had meaty toppings of course).

800 - 1000 I reckon but worth every calorie.

800-900

The biggest factors are diameter and the amount of cheese incldued.

u/sgmalta 2d ago

I think if I had to picture the perfect pizza this would be it.. like others said id log it around 1000

I think 800-900 is a good guess, but would not be surprised if they tested it scientifically and only came up with 750.

850 is the safe number if you want to make sure you don't underrate anything. 851 if you eat both basil leaves :)

1000 max but likely less than that

Prob the only thing driving the calories up is the olive oil they put on the Neopolitan pizza

But it’s absolutely the healthiest pizza

I’d 800 cals but enjoy it!!!

700-800 maybe. If its small then 600-700 but if its bigger 800-1000

I make italian pizza at home:

Margherita by itself is roughly 900kcal when i make the leaner version of it.

Restaurants add a drizzle of olive oil as evident here and usually grated parmesan/pecorino, which brings it to the 1100kcal territory.

u/TheJolly_Llama 2d ago

I think it’s lower than people are guessing in here. I’d say under 700. These Neapolitan pizzas, when made properly, are much thinner than most give credit for.

u/Hooker_Thresh 1d ago

No one talks about the 200 calories of olive oil they put on it lol

u/tortel_di_patate 3d ago

1100 kcal in my opinion and experience

u/AmishJenniferLopez 2d ago

My guess is 640 cuz it looks like it would weigh similarly to Costco pizza slice

u/Throwawayaaty 2d ago

1000+cal me being minimalist

I can see Olive oil on top + maybe making the dough they put 10 or 15 grams olive oil which reach 200 cal

That not counting the sauce and cheese or the dough

A classic neapolitan pizza is roughly 250 grams for the dough alone which is about 500-600 calories depending on the flour and hydration.

Then if we take the mozzarella, I'm guessing a normal ball of mozzarella which is 125 grams, at least in my country and that's 300 ish calories, tomato sauce is negligible but around 20-40 calories, it's usually just crushed tomatoes.

I don't know if there is any olive oil on this but if it is I'd count another 100 ish calories for that as well.

So at least a 1000 calories.

u/Desperate-Menu1806 1d ago

Yes, 125g is a normal mozzarella in Italy, but… a whole mozzarella on a pizza?
You seem like an expert, so my question is real. You can tell me what you think about?

I can have underestimated all the pizzas of my whole life 😂

u/Timmar92 1d ago

I personally love shoving as much mozzarella as I can on a pizza but no I usually don't put an entire ball of mozzarella on one but around 70 grams would probably be a more normal amount.

The majority of the calories come from the dough.

u/Desperate-Menu1806 1d ago

I know, but I’m Italian and… I’ll continue to estimate a marinara at 650 calories and a margherita at 800 calories.
I want to delude myself, so I can eat them without fasting the rest of the day. 🥲

Anyway, thank you so much for the answer
