HOW Many Calories???

Wednesday, September 2, 2009 by Dea.

I was reading this article about worst pizzas in America, and I came across this - the WORST Pizza in America.

1. WORST PIZZA IN AMERICA
Uno Chicago Grill Chicago Classic Deep Dish Individual Pizza
2,310 calories
165 g fat (54 g saturated)
4,920 mg sodium
120 g carbs

This is an individual pizza.  It contains more calories than I allow myself in an entire day - in supposedly ONE serving.

How on earth do they get  nearly 2400 calories in a single-serve pizza??  I can’t get over it.  Do they top it with lard?  Is there a layer of butter between the crust and the sauce?

We’re talking a bread-like substance, tomato sauce, and cheese.  I can make a normal pizza that would feed two people with a crust from a mix and regular cheese, and it STILL wouldn’t have this many grams of fat.

None of the options at the restaurants listed in the article are better than what I could do at home!  I do believe I’ll stay in next time I’m craving pizza.
