The most basic pizza of all is the cheese pizza: a crust smeared with sauce and covered with a single layer of cheese. Each pizza restaurant and family cook has his own recipe for the perfect cheese pizza, each with its own proportion of ingredients and thus its own nutrition profile. The U.S. Department of Agriculture provides data for cheese pizzas from popular national chains.
The USDA provides information for a slice of cheese pizza from Pizza Hut, Domino's and Papa John's. A slice from medium-size Domino's pizza has 187 calories, 50 of which come from fat. The Pizza Hut version has 240 calories, of which 90 come from fat. Papa John's has 212 calories, with 74 coming from fat
