The restaurant menu states 802 calories but I've heard the calories restaurants state can be real off? It's a sourdough pizza with Cured Iberico chorizo (dry & semi-dry), organic tomatos & mozzarella.

That’s a beautiful looking pie

It looks great, depending on how much cheese and dough that could be fairly accurate. When we cook at home, we can measure everything, but restaurants (especially mom and pop ones) sometimes measure based on taste and freestyle a bit without making it standard every time. Which is great for taste but tougher for tracking. I’d say over the long run it shouldn’t matter. Even if it’s a hundred of two hundred calories off, it won’t make any noticeable dent on your progress as long as you are accurately tracking everything else you eat.

Yup the calories are off, a pizza that size, with pepperoni and cheese, isn’t 800 calories

I wish it was 800 calories

I’d say it’s about 1000 calories. It looks to be a Neapolitan style pizza which is very thin airy dough and lighter on cheese than standard American style pizzas.

Definitely account for the oil they put on top!

It’s possible, it’s quite small and chorizo is usually lower in fat than pepperoni (and therefore less calorie-dense). The oil might tip it closer to 1000 though, hard to tell from a pic. If you wanna be sure, log it at 1000 and carry on with your day. It looks delicious, hope it was!

i’d log closer to 900 personally just because of the cheese and oily chorizo but don’t stress it 800 could be correct

My tiny cauliflower pizzas are over 700 calories for a smaller pizza and less toppings

Off topic, but why are restaurant calories off sometimes? I don’t understand that, it’s not like they can just guess, you can calculate things pretty accurately if you are a restaurant owner.

This has to be more like 1200 unless it’s a lot smaller than I’m understanding from the picture.

It looks like a 10-inch pizza, which would be around 150-250 per slice (6 slices) depending on toppings. I’d say it’s safe to say 1000, but maybe 1200 is more realistic. I work at a pizza place, and I log a lot of pizza calories.

This is Franco Manca, isn’t it?
I’ve asked the same question too. Generally sourdough pizzas are a little lower cal than your standard, and these are rolled thin outside of the crust. I log them as what the menu says (if you add any oil or extras, you’ll need to account for those), it’s never messed with my tracking when I’ve logged that pizza as 800 and continued as normal after

Maybe half of it

I feel like that’s gotta be 1000-1200 calories for the whole thing

would say 1000-1100 but maybe they use light cheese
