I know the collage is goofy but I’m just trying to make sure I’m not convincing myself that a single slice of this cheese pizza isn’t 300 cals. THIS thin slice, 1/6 of a cheese 12” pizza … 300 cal? I only ask because in MFP someone put a slice of Colony Grill pizza at 300… and I don’t know what they’re on about. (The hot oil pizza is also supposedly 300 cal tho? That one I believe because it’s topped with… oil.)
I looked at all other average 12” cheese pizzas of similar thickness & their calorie counts and came to 192 as the per slice # (higher than “normal” because it’s 1/6 of pizza not 1/8.)
What do y’all say, am I tricking myself or am I reasonable in not trusting MFP on this one? (Also that’s just thin sliced onion on top. Unless the onion adds 100 calories per slice…)

Weigh it on a food scale and log it that way. It will be most accurate that way, because surely all of them aren’t 70 g
Does it have the “hot oil” on it? That could certainly hike the number up. I agree it’s probably not 300 but not tooo far off necessarily.
i would estimate over 300 tbh. cheese and oil alone clock in 300.
As someone who works in a pizza place, 300 sounds about right.
300 calories is pretty good for a slice haha
Yeah, I mean I estimate the pizza squares from a tray pizza at about 350. So… Idk that sounds about right to me. It’s an oily, cheesy, delicious treat lol it’s likely to be high calorie unless you’re going out of your way to find lower calorie variants
The slice is thin so that makes it mostly cheese and oil, as everyone else said 300 kcal seems realistic.
Cheese can add a lot of calroies. I make pizza a lot at home and I go light on the cheese and it makes it makes it way less caloric
