Calculate pizza calories, macros, and cost per slice by size, crust, and toppings. Compare delivery chains and homemade options.
How many calories are in your pizza? It depends on the size, crust type, cheese amount, and toppings — and the variation is enormous. A thin-crust veggie slice might be 180 calories. A deep-dish meat lovers slice can top 450. This calculator breaks down the nutrition and cost of any pizza combination.
Enter your pizza size, crust type, and toppings. The calculator computes calories, protein, fat, and carbs per slice and per whole pie. It also estimates cost for delivery chains vs. homemade, so you can decide whether calling Domino's or making your own is the better deal.
The calculator includes a topping builder where you can stack multiple toppings and see how each one affects the calorie count. It also compares thin crust vs. regular vs. stuffed crust — because switching from stuffed crust to thin crust can save 100+ calories per slice. Check the example with realistic values before reporting.
Pizza nutrition varies wildly by crust, cheese, and toppings. This calculator lets you build your exact pizza and see the calorie impact of every choice. Keep these notes focused on your operational context. Tie the context to the calculator’s intended domain. Use this clarification to avoid ambiguous interpretation.

Base calories: crust + sauce + cheese. Thin crust: ~140 cal/slice for large. Hand-tossed: ~180. Pan: ~220. Stuffed: ~250. Cheese adds ~80 cal/slice. Each meat topping adds 30–60 cal/slice. Each veggie adds 5–15 cal/slice.
Result: 238 calories per slice, 1,904 total (8 slices)
Large hand-tossed base: 180 cal. Cheese: 80 cal. Pepperoni: +40. Mushrooms: +5. Green peppers: +5. Total per slice: 238 cal, 10g protein, 12g fat, 24g carbs.
Thin crust uses less dough and less oil, saving 40–80 calories per slice vs. hand-tossed. Pan crust is fried in oil, adding another 40 calories. Stuffed crust wraps mozzarella in the edge, adding 70–100 calories per slice. If you're counting calories, thin crust is always the best choice.
Meats: pepperoni (+40/slice), sausage (+50), bacon (+45), ham (+25), chicken (+35). Veggies: mushrooms (+5), peppers (+5), onions (+5), olives (+10), tomatoes (+5). Cheese extras: extra cheese (+40), ricotta (+30), feta (+15). Sauces: alfredo adds ~30 cal/slice vs marinara.
A large delivery pizza costs $14–22 on average. The ingredients cost the restaurant about $3–5. Making pizza at home costs $3–5 total and takes about 15 minutes of active work (plus fermentation time). Over a year, making pizza weekly at home instead of ordering saves $500–800.
A typical large slice (hand-tossed, cheese): 250–280 cal. Thin crust cheese: 180–200. Stuffed crust or deep dish: 300–400+. Toppings add 5–60 calories each.
Thin crust + veggie toppings (mushrooms, peppers, onions). A thin-crust veggie slice is typically 170–200 calories vs. 350–450 for deep-dish meat lovers.
It can be. You control the cheese amount, crust thickness, and oil. A homemade thin crust with moderate cheese and veggies is significantly lower calorie than most delivery options.
Standard large: ~200g (7 oz) of mozzarella. Extra cheese adds another ~100g. That's about 560 calories just in cheese for a standard pizza.
Chicken (35 cal, 6g protein per slice) and ham (25 cal, 4g protein). Pepperoni adds 40 cal but only 2g protein. Veggies add almost no protein.
A homemade 14" pizza costs about $3–5 in ingredients (dough, sauce, cheese, toppings). Same size delivered: $14–22. Homemade is 70–80% cheaper.
