The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 795 calories for USDA reference amount at 288 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 276 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 30.8 g protein, 6 g fiber, and 1,397 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is pizza, cheese topping, regular crust, frozen, cooked, representing 96.6% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 2 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The reference amount and 1 piece, NFS 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 21–3,756 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 2708637: “Pizza with pepperoni, from frozen, thick 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 2708637, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 surface inch” through “1 frozen large pizza (14-16" 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 | 7.7 g | 21 kcal | 0.8 g | 0.2 g | 37 mg |
| 1 frozen personal size pizza (5-7" diameter)USDA-listed household measure | 263 g | 726 kcal | 28.1 g | 5.5 g | 1,276 mg |
| 1 frozen large pizza (14-16" diameter)USDA-listed household measure | 1,361 g | 3,756 kcal | 145.6 g | 28.6 g | 6,601 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2708637’s 288 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Calcium; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Saturated fat. 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
Calcium501 mg
≈ 39% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Iron6 mg
≈ 36% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Pizza with pepperoni, from frozen, thick crust,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708613 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 surface inch to 1 frozen large pizza (14-16" diameter)
USDA assigns those measures 7.7 g and 1,361 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 21 kcal to 3,756 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2708613
At an equal 100 g, this record has 1.1 g more total fat than “Pizza, cheese, from frozen, thick crust.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Pizza, cheese topping, regular crust, frozen, cooked
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Pizza, cheese topping, regular crust, frozen, cooked supplies 96.6% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Keep this record when “from frozen; thick crust” fits. Inspect FDC 2708613 when “cheese; from frozen; thick crust” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

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.
Only this record lists Pepperoni, beef and pork, sliced. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
Formulation evidence
The listed formulations differ
The formulation rows differ, but the source data do not isolate which component caused any nutrient difference. Input weights describe the standardized formulation—not final plated proportions.
Shared listed inputs: Pizza, cheese topping, regular crust, frozen, cooked.
Listed only in this record: Pepperoni, beef and pork, sliced.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 288 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 piece, NFS (144 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 266 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 piece, NFS (133 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708637 with FDC 2708613 at equal mass; use their 288 g and 266 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2708637 versus FDC 2708613 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 amount served, recipe and ingredient ratios, added cooking fat, sauces and toppings.
For “Pizza with pepperoni, from frozen, thick crust,” resolve amount served first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
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.
- 02
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.
- 03
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.
- 04
sauces and toppings
Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2708637 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 276 kcal per 100 g becomes 795 kcal at 288 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: 2708637
FNDDS food code: 58106516
The scaling for FDC 2708637 can be exact while the match to “Pizza with pepperoni, from frozen, thick crust” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 288 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
