What this page compares

Named source records, not one universal meal

This guide keeps 3 named USDA records in view: 3 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 3 records together under the exact grouping key “pizza with pepperoni from frozen.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Pizza with pepperoni, from frozen, this page can compare 3 named records from FDC 2708636 through FDC 2708635. 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

194–288 g before composition

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

Composition

2 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

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

Discriminator

0.8 g fiber gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “thick crust” (2.1 g) and “thin crust” (2.9 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 with pepperoni, from frozen.

Important: “Lower” begins with Pizza with pepperoni, from frozen, thin crust; “higher” ends with Pizza with pepperoni, 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 pepperoni, from frozen meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Pizza with pepperoni, from frozen, 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 194 to 288 grams—a 94-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 532 calories for “thin crust” to 795 for “thick crust.” At a fixed 100 grams, “thin crust” is 274 calories and “thick crust” is 276—a fixed-weight separation of 2 calories. For Pizza with pepperoni, from frozen, 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”, and “from frozen, thin crust”. The source formulations contain 5 distinct ingredient codes; examples that appear in only part of the set include pepperoni, beef and pork, sliced, pizza with pepperoni, from frozen, thick crust, pizza with pepperoni, from frozen, thin crust, and pizza, cheese topping, regular crust, frozen, cooked. On this Pizza with pepperoni, from frozen 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 pepperoni, from frozen” cannot resolve the differences between Pizza with pepperoni, from frozen, medium crust and Pizza with pepperoni, from frozen, 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 194–288 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”, and “from frozen, thin crust”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    5 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 pepperoni, from frozen, medium crust” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Pizza with pepperoni, from frozen 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 pepperoni, from frozen is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“from frozen, medium crust”, “from frozen, thick crust”, and “from frozen, 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 pepperoni, from frozen 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.
