someone brought it in .


It is one of the large pies that you get from pizza places (not frozen)

I am going to assume the slice is 1000 calories just to be on the safe side. Is that a reasonable assumption ?

1. Hmm.
A quality frozen pizza, weighing about 30 ounces, comes in at 12" and about 2200 calories (for the entire pizza). Consequently, it's a pretty good amount of pizza for two to three people. Cut into six pieces, that's about 360 calories per slice. According to ask.com, a slice of cheese pizza from Pizza Hut runs under 300 calories (mushrooms are not especially high-calorie). What I'm getting at is that your slice of pizza (unless it's pan pizza) was probably lots less than 1000 calories. 750, maybe.

Look at it this way: a pizza which feeds 2-3 people runs under 2400 calories. A pizza which has one slice coming in at a whopping 1000 calories better feed 6-8 people, and that's a giant pizza. If you ate 1000 calories of pizza, you ought to be WAY full.

3. A SHITLOAD!
If you're eating pizza, you should just assume it is way more calories (and saturated fat and sodium) than you REALLY want to know about.

4. Depends - real cheese or fake- and how much, did they use a lot of olive oil, how thick is the crust
Probably less tha a thousand because of the mushrooms...now it it had been sausage and peperonni, then probably a thousand easy.

Too many variables. I hope it was good, though...

5. I think there aren't any calories in it until you try to find out how many are there
It's one of those quantum mechanics thingies
