The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 633 calories for USDA reference amount at 238 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 266 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 27.1 g protein, 5.5 g fiber, and 1,285 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is fast food, pizza chain, 14" pizza, cheese topping, regular crust, representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The reference amount and 1 piece, extra-large pizza answer different portion questions. Their values are scaled independently from the same per-100-gram source record.
The household measures attached to this record span roughly 16–3,399 calories across the listed portions. That is a set of scaled examples—not a confidence interval, a recommendation, or a claim about the full universe of recipes.
Calculated from the smallest and largest usable household measures listed by USDA for this exact FNDDS record; not a confidence interval.
Record-specific decision brief
What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2708616: “Pizza, cheese, from restaurant or fast food, medium crust.” It separates gram-weight arithmetic, corpus context, label signals, and record selection so one number does not have to answer four different questions.
01 · Portion arithmetic
Three weights, one fixed composition
For FDC 2708616, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 surface inch” through “1 extra-large pizza (16-18" diameter)” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 surface inchUSDA-listed household measure | 6.2 g | 16 kcal | 0.7 g | 0.1 g | 33 mg |
| 1 personal size pizza (5-7" diameter)USDA-listed household measure | 175 g | 466 kcal | 20 g | 4 g | 945 mg |
| 1 extra-large pizza (16-18" diameter)USDA-listed household measure | 1,278 g | 3,399 kcal | 145.7 g | 29.4 g | 6,901 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Pizza
The comparison set contains 86 exact records in the Pizza USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2708616’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2708616’s 238 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Calcium; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Sodium. Percentages use FDA label Daily Values, whose general “high” guide begins at 20% Daily Value. This is not an overall score or a personalized target.
Strength-side signals
Calcium447 mg
≈ 34% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Iron6 mg
≈ 33% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Pizza, cheese, from restaurant or fast food, medium crust,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708615 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 surface inch to 1 extra-large pizza (16-18" diameter)
USDA assigns those measures 6.2 g and 1,278 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 16 kcal to 3,399 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2708615
At an equal 100 g, this record has calories than “Pizza, cheese, from restaurant or fast food, thin crust.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Fast Food, Pizza Chain, 14" pizza, cheese topping, regular crust
USDA derives this record from one listed source-input row at 100 g. Real preparations can still differ in water, cooking state, brand, and served weight.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Keep this record when “cheese; from restaurant or fast food; medium crust” fits. Inspect FDC 2708615 when “cheese; from restaurant or fast food; thin crust” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Inside the source record
Source formulation behind this USDA record
USDA links FDC 2708616 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Pizza, cheese, from restaurant or fast food, medium crust” inspectable beside similarly named records.
How to read this
A single-source formulation
Fast Food, Pizza Chain, 14" pizza, cheese topping, regular crust is the only listed source input for this record. That does not mean every real-world version is identical; brands, preparation, water content, and portion weight can still differ.

Exact-record context
What makes this USDA record distinct?
For FDC 2708616, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Pizza” category for shared description terms or source inputs. Any surviving pair is compared per 100 grams, so unlike source-serving sizes cannot manufacture the nutrient difference.

Plain-English read
The six displayed nutrient values are close under a conservative materiality screen. Small differences remain exact source values, not evidence that one food is preferable.
Formulation evidence
The listed formulations match
The USDA input rows shown on these profiles are identical. The nutrient or portion distinction therefore should not be attributed to a different named input.
Shared listed inputs: Fast Food, Pizza Chain, 14" pizza, cheese topping, regular crust.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 238 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 piece, extra-large pizza (128 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 172 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 piece, extra-large pizza (98 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708616 with FDC 2708615 at equal mass; use their 238 g and 172 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2708616 versus FDC 2708615 is a comparison of standardized source records—not a measurement of your meal, an overall food-quality rank, or proof that one input caused a difference.

Uncertainty, made actionable
What can change this estimate?
This is a standardized USDA survey-food profile, not a measurement of every preparation. Actual nutrition can change with restaurant formulation and serving size, amount served, recipe and ingredient ratios, added cooking fat.
For “Pizza, cheese, from restaurant or fast food, medium crust,” resolve restaurant formulation and serving size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
restaurant formulation and serving size
When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.
- 02
amount served
When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.
- 03
recipe and ingredient ratios
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
- 04
added cooking fat
Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2708616 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 266 kcal per 100 g becomes 633 kcal at 238 g through nutrient per portion = nutrient per 100 g × portion grams ÷ 100; this page adds no second nutrition estimate.
About the serving label: USDA describes the underlying survey portion as “Quantity not specified.” We display it as a USDA reference amount because it is a database comparison point—not a suggested portion or a claim about what most people should eat.
Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024
FoodData Central ID: 2708616
FNDDS food code: 58106225
The scaling for FDC 2708616 can be exact while the match to “Pizza, cheese, from restaurant or fast food, medium crust” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 238 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
