What this page compares

Named source records, not one universal meal

This guide keeps 6 named USDA records in view: 6 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 description segment” placed these 6 records together under the exact grouping key “pizza with meat and vegetables.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Pizza with meat and vegetables, this page can compare 6 named records from FDC 2708661 through FDC 2708663. 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

205–310 g before composition

The largest source amount is 1.5× the smallest. Read per-serving calorie differences with that mass gap in view.

Composition

35 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “from restaurant or fast food, thin crust”; the higher is “from frozen, thin crust.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

91 mg sodium gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “from restaurant or fast food, thin crust” (464 mg) and “from frozen, thin crust” (555 mg).

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 with meat and vegetables.

Important: “Lower” begins with Pizza with meat and vegetables, from restaurant or fast food, thin crust; “higher” ends with Pizza with meat and vegetables, from frozen, thick crust, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every pizza with meat and vegetables meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Pizza with meat 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 205 to 310 grams—a 105-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 545 calories for “from restaurant or fast food, thin crust” to 856 for “from frozen, thick crust.” At a fixed 100 grams, “from restaurant or fast food, thin crust” is 241 calories and “from frozen, thin crust” is 276—a fixed-weight separation of 35 calories. For Pizza with meat 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 “from frozen, medium crust”, “from frozen, thick crust”, “from restaurant or fast food, medium crust”, “from restaurant or fast food, thick crust”, and “from restaurant or fast food, thin crust”. The source formulations contain 7 distinct ingredient codes; examples that appear in only part of the set include beef, ground, 85% lean meat / 15% fat, crumbles, cooked, pan-browned, onions, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt, peppers, sweet, green, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt, and pizza, meat and vegetable topping, regular crust, frozen, cooked. On this Pizza with meat 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 with meat and vegetables” cannot resolve the differences between Pizza with meat and vegetables, from frozen, medium crust and Pizza with meat and vegetables, from restaurant or fast food, 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 205–310 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 “from frozen, medium crust”, “from frozen, thick crust”, “from restaurant or fast food, medium crust”, “from restaurant or fast food, thick crust”, and “from restaurant or fast food, thin crust”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    7 source-input codes appear across the selected records. Their presence and listed weights describe USDA formulations, not finished plated proportions.

  4. 04

    The unresolved plate

    Even “Pizza with meat and vegetables, from frozen, medium crust” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Pizza with meat 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 with meat and vegetables is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“from frozen, medium crust”, “from frozen, thin crust”, “from restaurant or fast food, medium crust”, and “from restaurant or fast food, 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 with meat 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.

Decision support from the exact records on this page

Turn source data into a better next decision

These conclusions and reading paths are computed from 6 exact records behind Pizza with meat and vegetables source-record guide. Links are chosen by record identity, controlled contrast, formulation input, nutrient spread, or serving context—not by loose keyword similarity.

Equal-weight result

Pizza with meat and vegetables, from restaurant or fast food, thick crust is higher in iron per 100 g

Pizza with meat and vegetables, from restaurant or fast food, thick crust reports 2.4 mg versus 1.4 mg for Pizza with meat and vegetables, from frozen, medium crust: a 1 mg difference when both are normalized to 100 g.

Inspect the underlying evidence

The denominator changes the answer

Pizza with meat and vegetables, from frozen, medium crust is denser; Pizza with meat and vegetables, from restaurant or fast food, thick crust is higher in its source amount

Pizza with meat and vegetables, from frozen, medium crust reports 276 kcal per 100 g and 596 kcal in USDA source amount (216 g). Pizza with meat and vegetables, from restaurant or fast food, thick crust reports a lower 259 kcal per 100 g but a higher 772 kcal in USDA source amount (298 g).

Choose the record before reading the number

Pizza with meat and vegetables, from frozen, medium crust and Pizza with meat and vegetables, from restaurant or fast food, thick crust are not interchangeable

The page keeps both records at the same 100 g denominator and makes Source form (frozen versus No matching controlled term in the source name) the explicit record-description contrast. It does not show that the wording difference caused a nutrient difference. Pick the description that matches the food in front of you rather than averaging away the distinction.
