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 restaurant or fast food.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Pizza with pepperoni, from restaurant or fast food, this page can compare 3 named records from FDC 2708640 through FDC 2708639. 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

182–278 g before composition

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

Composition

5 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

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

Discriminator

0.1 g fiber gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “thick crust” (2.2 g) and “thin crust” (2.3 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 restaurant or fast food.

Important: “Lower” begins with Pizza with pepperoni, from restaurant or fast food, thin crust; “higher” ends with Pizza with pepperoni, from restaurant or fast food, 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 restaurant or fast food meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Pizza with pepperoni, from restaurant or fast food, 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 182 to 278 grams—a 96-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 513 calories for “thin crust” to 798 for “thick crust.” At a fixed 100 grams, “medium crust” is 282 calories and “thick crust” is 287—a fixed-weight separation of 5 calories. For Pizza with pepperoni, from restaurant or fast food, 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 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 2 distinct ingredient codes; examples that appear in only part of the set include fast food, pizza chain, 14" pizza, pepperoni topping, regular crust and fast food, pizza chain, 14" pizza, pepperoni topping, thick crust. On this Pizza with pepperoni, from restaurant or fast food 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 restaurant or fast food” cannot resolve the differences between Pizza with pepperoni, from restaurant or fast food, medium crust and Pizza with pepperoni, 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 182–278 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 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

    2 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, …, medium crust” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Pizza with pepperoni, from restaurant or fast food unknowns for correction instead of converting them into false precision.

Record matching

Match identity first; scale quantity second

A practical matching checklist

  1. Read the complete Pizza with pepperoni, from restaurant or fast food 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.
