Vace Pizza - Cleveland Park - Educated calorie count guess?

[Anonymous]

Is anyone out there a food scientist or nutritionist who is also familiar with Vace Pizza. Any good guesses out there about how many calories in a slice of cheese? I'm trying to be really diligent about tracking my calories and would appreciate an educated estimate. Thanks.

I would think 500.

I think more like 300

This website says a slice of pizza New York style is 400 calories (not that Vace is really NY pizza, but the size/flatness of it is close).

...Obviously the calories in pizza will vary tremendously depending on the size, amount of cheese, dough and toppings. I was a bit skeptical when I saw the calories that were posted on some of the menu boards. For example, my local Famiglia pizza shop says 247 calories for a slice (the typical 9 1/2 inch) on the printed menu and 307 calories on the board. Hmmm … So I googled  ”calories in pizza” and became even more skeptical when I saw the low numbers. 150 calories for a slice? Doubt it. So I went into dietitian mode and whipped out my food scale. You know what comes next – the dissection! (pic is of me enjoying a personal pizza at Cinema Cafe the day before the Gran Fondo, a 100 mile bike race. I felt as though I needed to gorge a bit!)
Calorie breakdown:
The best way to get a ballpark idea of the calories in pizza is to weigh the cheese and bread separately. You will need a food scale. In general:
- Cheese has 80-100 calories per ounce. Most of the pizza I analyzed was not heavy on the cheese
- Bread has about 80 calories per ounce
- Fatty meat (pepperoni, sausage or fried chicken cutlet) contains 100 – 150 calories when added to a slice
- Sauce tends to be quite low in calories. Most of slices I analyzed contained minimal sauce

Min. About 430 but mostly like higher. Get a scale if you really want to know. Most places under estimate the number of calories.

Look at this site, but you have to know the weight. Most servicing sizes are larger than the sample size. It's about mass.

Anyone who says 430+ for a slice of Vace cheese pizza has not eaten there. Thin crust and not much cheese at all. If you want a good comparison, try a slice at Naked Pizza in Bethesda - they've got good calorie counts for everything you could put on the pizza. Crust is a bit thinner, but a slice of cheese pizza comes to around 175 on the medium if I recall.

By the way, my guess on a slice of the large Vace prosciutto pizza (on my LoseIt app) is 250.

I would take a slice home (if you can manage not to eat it on the way) and weigh it.

I don't really get how this is going to help you that much. The calorie count is going to be really different if there are, say 2oz of tomato sauce on the thing vs 2oz of cheese. I guess if you pulled the cheese off, weighed it. Then scraped off the sauce & weighed the crust... No. Still not that helpful.

So guessing wildly is better?
