Pepperoni pizza is about 285 kcal per 100 g. A thin crust slice is lighter, a thick pan or jumbo NY slice heavier, because the base and the cheese scale with the dough.
Approximate values for 1 regular slice of a large pepperoni pizza (about 110 g).
Pepperoni pizza slice calories by portion
A slice has no fixed size. A thin slice off a medium pie and a folded New York slice are both one slice, and they can be 200 calories apart before you reach for a second.
| Portion | Approx. amount | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Pepperoni pizza | 100 g | ~285 kcal |
| Thin crust slice | about 80 g | ~230 kcal |
| Regular slice, large 14 inch | about 110 g | ~310 kcal |
| Thick or pan slice | about 140 g | ~400 kcal |
| Jumbo NY or Costco slice | about 180 g | ~480 kcal |
| Two regular slices | about 220 g | ~620 kcal |
Built from about 285 kcal per 100 g of pepperoni pizza. Extra cheese or a stuffed crust adds 50 to 150 kcal a slice, and a thin crust saves about the same.
Why pepperoni pizza calories vary
- The crust: a thin crust slice can be 80 g, a deep pan slice 160 g. The dough is where most of the calories live.
- The slice size: a jumbo NY slice is nearly twice the regular one, so one slice is not one number.
- The cheese: extra cheese and a cheese stuffed crust each add real fat and calories.
- The pepperoni: it adds flavor and fat, but less than you think, maybe 40 to 60 kcal a slice over plain cheese.
This is where photo apps struggle. A slice looks the same from above whether the crust is thin or deep dish, and the oil on top hides how much cheese is underneath. Saying "two slices of thick crust pepperoni" gives the estimate the size and the base.
“Two slices of pepperoni pizza and a Coke.”
Example: Logma counts the two slices and the 330 ml Coke as one line, about 760 kcal with macros. No searching the menu, no guessing.
Pepperoni pizza meal calories
| Meal | Approx. calories |
|---|---|
| Two regular slices | ~620 kcal |
| Two slices and a can of Coke (330 ml) | ~760 kcal |
| Three slices and a side salad | ~1,000 kcal |
| Half a large pizza (four slices) | ~1,240 kcal |
The drink and the slice count run the number up faster than the toppings. Swapping the Coke for water and stopping at two slices keeps a pizza night well inside most days.
Can you eat pepperoni pizza on a diet
Yes. Two regular slices at about 620 calories, with roughly 26 g of protein, fit most diet days if you plan around them. The trick is deciding the slice count before you start, not after.
- Pick thin crust over pan or stuffed crust
- Decide on two slices, plate them, and put the box away
- Start with a salad so you are not reaching for a fourth slice
- Log it honestly. Two slices inside a steady calorie deficit are not a problem
4 ways to make pizza night lighter
- Choose thin crust: it saves about 70 kcal a slice over a pan base for the same toppings.
- Blot the top: a napkin on each slice lifts off a surprising amount of oil.
- Add a salad: volume up front means fewer slices later.
- Skip the stuffed crust: it can add over 100 kcal a slice for cheese you barely taste.
