Compare all 4 food records, nutrition tables and USDA sources

The 4 exact records in this guide report 593–688 calories in the records' own listed source servings and 223–231 calories per 100 grams. Those are observations from named database records—not a universal range or an estimate of an unseen plate.

Match my meal

Start with the description closest to what you ate

For Pizza, cheese and vegetables, begin by separating “Pizza, cheese and vegetables, gluten-free thick crust” from “Pizza, cheese and vegetables, whole wheat thin crust.” Choosing a card filters this source set; it does not infer the portion or fill in ingredients the chosen description does not name.

What this page compares

Named source records, not one universal meal

This guide keeps 4 named USDA records in view: 4 direct matches. All sit within “Pizza.” The exact descriptions remain the unit of comparison; the familiar heading is only the doorway into the evidence.

Why these records appear together: The deterministic grouping rule “normalized first two description segments” placed these 4 records together under the exact grouping key “pizza cheese and vegetables.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Pizza, cheese and vegetables, this page can compare 4 named records from FDC 2708698 through FDC 2708691. It cannot observe which preparation was eaten, recover unnamed additions, or supply the eaten grams.

Editor’s decision brief

The three facts to carry into the table

Carry the denominator, exact identity, and strongest observed contrast into every number below.

Portion

266–298 g before composition

The largest source amount is 1.1× the smallest. Read per-serving calorie differences with that mass gap in view.

Composition

8 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “gluten-free thin crust”; the higher is “whole wheat thick crust.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

1.2 g fiber gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “gluten-free thin crust” (2.3 g) and “whole wheat thick crust” (3.5 g).

Observed source examples

Three landmarks inside this source set—not universal endpoints

The cards are ordered by calories in each record's listed serving. Serving weights differ, so use per-100-gram values to compare composition. These selected records do not define a calorie range for every pizza, cheese and vegetables.

Important: “Lower” begins with Pizza, cheese and vegetables, gluten-free thin crust; “higher” ends with Pizza, cheese and vegetables, whole wheat thick crust, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every pizza, cheese and vegetables meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Pizza, cheese and vegetables, serving columns preserve each record’s own listed amount, while calories per 100 g hold weight constant. A dash means the cited record does not supply that field; it does not mean the nutrient is absent.

On smaller screens, focus the table and scroll horizontally to read every column.

Portion analysis

Serving total and calorie density answer different questions

The listed source amounts run from 266 to 298 grams—a 32-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 593 calories for “gluten-free thin crust” to 688 for “whole wheat thick crust.” At a fixed 100 grams, “gluten-free thin crust” is 223 calories and “whole wheat thick crust” is 231—a fixed-weight separation of 8 calories. For Pizza, cheese and vegetables, the serving view answers “how much is in the database portion?”; the 100-gram view answers “how concentrated is the matched record?” Neither reveals how many grams were actually eaten.

The scaling rule: multiply a per-100-gram value by eaten grams ÷ 100. The arithmetic is exact; the result is only as defensible as the record match and portion estimate.

Preparation analysis

The long description carries the evidence

The published descriptions distinguish forms such as “cheese and vegetables, gluten-free thick crust”, “cheese and vegetables, gluten-free thin crust”, “cheese and vegetables, whole wheat thick crust”, and “cheese and vegetables, whole wheat thin crust”. Across the source formulations, the shared backbone includes cheese, mozzarella, low moisture, part-skim, olive oil, and olives, ripe, canned (small-extra large); differentiating rows include bread, gluten-free, white, made with rice flour, corn starch, and/or tapioca, bread, italian, and wheat bran, crude. On this Pizza, cheese and vegetables page, those rows make the records inspectable, but they are not a controlled experiment: they cannot tell us that one named input, by itself, caused a nutrient difference.

Database precision is not meal certainty. Retain the exact description beside the number so later corrections remain possible.

What changes the comparison

Four drivers worth checking before choosing a record

The family label “Pizza, cheese and vegetables” cannot resolve the differences between Pizza, cheese and vegetables, gluten-free thick crust and Pizza, cheese and vegetables, whole wheat thin crust. The four checks below identify the record wording, source weight, and formulation evidence that can.

  1. 01

    Source weight before serving calories

    The source amounts span 266–298 grams. Compare per 100 grams before reading a serving-calorie gap as a composition gap.

  2. 02

    The words that split the family

    Representative record-level distinctions include “cheese and vegetables, gluten-free thick crust”, “cheese and vegetables, gluten-free thin crust”, “cheese and vegetables, whole wheat thick crust”, and “cheese and vegetables, whole wheat thin crust”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    Shared source rows include cheese, mozzarella, low moisture, part-skim and olive oil; rows that vary across the set include bread, gluten-free, white, made with rice flour, corn starch, and/or tapioca, bread, italian, and wheat bran, crude. Presence is inspectable evidence, not proof of nutrient causation.

  4. 04

    The unresolved plate

    Even “Pizza, cheese and vegetables, gluten-free thick crust” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Pizza, cheese and vegetables unknowns for correction instead of converting them into false precision.

Record matching

Match identity first; scale quantity second

Read the source name as a sequence of decisions. First confirm that pizza, cheese and vegetables is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“cheese and vegetables, gluten-free thick crust”, “cheese and vegetables, gluten-free thin crust”, “cheese and vegetables, whole wheat thick crust”, and “cheese and vegetables, whole wheat thin crust”—before comparing gram weight. If a package, menu, or known recipe provides a closer first-party description, prefer it and keep this USDA record as a transparent fallback.

A practical matching checklist

  1. Read the complete Pizza, cheese and vegetables source description, including preparation and additions.
  2. Compare the listed source weight with the amount actually eaten.
  3. Prefer a current package or restaurant source when a specific branded item is known.
  4. Record toppings, sauces, cooking fat, sides, and substitutions that the selected description does not name.
