Looking for a low-cal pizza option? We're taking a look at the nutrition from a slice of cheese pizza at some of the most popular delivery chains. Remember that it's also about the quality of calories, not just the number of calories - how many are coming from protein versus fat and carbs? Balance those macros!
You can choose the slice that's best for you, based on your dietary needs. Need more protein? Little Caesars and Domino's have the most - but they're both highest on calories and fat. Cutting back on calories, fat, carbs, and sodium? Go for Pizza Hut, but know you're skipping on protein, too (and getting a smaller slice than Domino's or Papa John's). Papa John's is right there in the middle with a moderate amount of all categories, while Little Caesars has the unfortunate combination of being the fattiest, carbiest, and most caloric - and it's a smaller slice. At the end of the day, it's pizza . . . so don't stress yourself out over a slice.
