About pepperoni pizza

A pepperoni slice gets its energy from the dough, the mozzarella and the pepperoni, which adds extra fat compared with plain cheese. Thick or stuffed crusts push it higher.

What moves the number

Why one plate is 230 and another 500

  • Crust style: thin, hand-tossed or deep pan

  • Slice size: large pies cut into 8 vs 12

Ordering lighter

  • Blot or skip extra pepperoni

In PlateDiary

A rough number for the dishes you save — only if you want one.

Off unless you turn them on

Calories in PlateDiary are off unless you turn them on. Switch them on and, when PlateDiary AI reads your photo of the table, each dish gets one rough “~” number. Accept it or change it; a number you correct is remembered for that dish. With Calories off, the app looks exactly as it did before.

A read sends small pictures of the cut-out dishes, with the place's name as a hint — never the table photo, faces or your location. Calorie numbers never go to analytics, and nothing is written to a health app. PlateDiary AI starts with free tries; here is how it works.
