Introduction
The Pieology Calorie Calculator is a handy tool for pizza enthusiasts who want to know the approximate number of calories in their favorite pizza creations. Whether you’re ordering a small, medium, large, or extra-large pizza with various toppings, this calculator can help you make informed choices about your pizza consumption.
Formula
The calculator utilizes a simple formula to estimate the calories in your pizza:
Estimated Calories = Base Calories (based on pizza size) + (Number of Toppings × Calories per Topping)
- Base Calories: The base calorie values vary depending on the size of your pizza. These values are pre-defined and represent the approximate calories per slice.
- Number of Toppings: This represents the number of toppings you choose to add to your pizza.
- Calories per Topping: For this calculator, we assume that each topping adds approximately 50 calories.

- Click the “Calculate” button.
The calculator will provide you with an estimate of the total calories in your customized pizza.
Example
For instance, if you choose a medium-sized pizza and add 4 toppings, the calculator will estimate the pizza to have 490 calories (290 base calories + 4 toppings × 50 calories per topping).
