A slice of pizza typically contains between 200 and 300 calories, with a standard 14-inch regular crust cheese pizza slice averaging about 285 calories
. The exact calorie count varies depending on factors such as:
- Type of crust: Thin crust usually has fewer calories than thick or stuffed crust.
- Toppings: Adding pepperoni, extra cheese, or other meats increases calories.
- Slice size: Larger slices have more calories.
For example, a slice of pepperoni pizza generally has about 250 to 350 calories, while specialty pizzas can range from 300 to 500 or more calories per slice depending on toppings
. Some popular brand examples include:
- Pizza Hut cheese slice: ~220 calories
- Domino’s cheese slice: ~200 calories
- Little Caesars 14-inch cheese slice: ~235 calories
- Costco cheese slice (extra-large): ~700 calories due to larger size and cheese amount
In summary, a typical slice of cheese pizza contains roughly 200-300 calories, but this can increase significantly with toppings, crust type, and slice size
