How Many Calories Are In Mod Pizza? | Smart Ordering Tips

How Calories Are Built At MOD

Calories come from three levers: the base, the spread of cheese, and whatever you pile on. Since toppings are “unlimited,” the total swings a lot from a plain pie to a meat-and-cheese stack.

Calories In A MOD 11-Inch Pie: What To Expect

Think of the 11-inch as the baseline. A classic cheese sits around seven hundred, while meatier options land closer to nine hundred to a thousand. Swap to the thicker base and you push past eleven hundred quickly.

Table: Sizes, Crusts, And Base Calories

Pizza Base	Serving	Calories
Classic thin crust	11-inch	490
Mega thick crust	11-inch	980
Gluten-friendly crust	11-inch	710
Cauliflower crust	11-inch	590
Cheese (The Maddy)	11-inch pie	710
Mad Dog	11-inch pie	980
Tristan	11-inch pie	890
Lucy Sunshine	11-inch pie	820
Dominic	11-inch pie	700
Caspian	11-inch pie	970

Reading The Table

The top four rows are bases before heavy toppings. The next six rows are full signature builds at the same diameter. Values come from MOD’s published nutrition and menu listings. For specifics on named pizzas, the MOD menu calories page shows each pie by size. For crust and add-on numbers, the brand’s nutrition page lists details line by line.

Portion Math That Helps

• Half the 11-inch: divide the number by two.
• Two slices from an eight-cut: take one quarter of the total.
• Mini 6-inch: expect low three hundreds for cheese and about four hundreds with proteins.

Where The Big Swings Happen

• Thick dough: the mega base can add about five hundred calories over thin.
• Double cheeses: an extra layer stacks calories and saturated fat.
• Finishes: sauces like pesto, ranch, or hot honey add fast.

A Smart Strategy For Custom Pies

Start with a thin base, pick red sauce, keep the normal mozzarella, then add one protein and two to four vegetables. That choice lands in the mid eight hundreds for many builds. Snacks fit better once you set your daily calorie needs.

What About Per Slice?

Shops cut pies differently, so a “slice” is not consistent. If your 11-inch is cut into six, one piece of a seven hundred calorie cheese pizza gives about one sixth of that total. Cut into eight and each piece is one eighth. Weighing a piece on a kitchen scale gives the cleanest math.

Is Thin Always Leanest?

Among MOD bases, thin wins on calories. Gluten-friendly can be higher than thin, and the thick dough drives the biggest jump. Cauliflower sits between thin and thick on energy but may change macros with more fat and a bit less protein.

Sauces, Cheeses, And Finishes

Sauces vary a lot. Tomato dollops are lean. Creamy Alfredo raises numbers. Finishes like garlic pesto or ranch add a noticeable bump even in small spoonfuls. Among cheeses, feta and gorgonzola portions list sixty to one hundred calories per scatter.

Protein Picks And Trade-Offs

Chicken builds protein with less fat than pepperoni or sausage. Meat stacks lift calories and sodium. If you want meat, go single topping and skip the double cheese.

Sodium, Fiber, And Protein At A Glance

Expect seven hundred to almost fifteen hundred milligrams of sodium per pie depending on build, a few grams of fiber from dough and vegetables, and nineteen to sixty five grams of protein based on size and toppings. Pairing a side salad and water rounds out the meal.

Handy Benchmarks From Official Sources

The menu lists calories by size for each named pizza, while the nutrition page lists the base crust numbers plus toppings and finishes. Those two sources let you estimate any “create your own” combination with decent accuracy. For a general slice benchmark, the USDA reference for a regular cheese slice lands near two eighty five calories.

Table: Common Add-Ons And Estimated Adds

Item	Typical Portion	Added Calories
Feta cheese	¼ cup	70
Gorgonzola	¼ cup	100
Tomato sauce dollops	¼ cup	5
Garlic pesto drizzle	1 tbsp	45
Ranch finish	1 tbsp	50
Mike’s Hot Honey	1 tbsp	70

Builds That Hit Common Goals

• Lightest full pie: classic thin, red sauce, normal mozzarella, all vegetables, no finishes.
• High-protein angle: add grilled chicken or extra chicken; keep cheeses to one layer.
• Meat-lover feel without the spike: lean chicken plus mushrooms for umami, keep sauces modest.

Create-Your-Own, Step By Step

1. Pick a base. Thin keeps energy lowest; thick is for big appetites.
2. Choose a sauce. Tomato is lean; creamy adds energy.
3. Add cheese. Standard mozzarella is baked in; extra is optional.
4. Select proteins. One choice keeps totals in check.
5. Load vegetables. Go heavy here for volume without blowing the count.
6. Finish lightly. A drizzle or none.

Real-Menu Examples With Math

• Cheese (The Maddy), 11-inch: 710. Half pie: 355.
• Mad Dog, 11-inch: 980. One quarter: 245.
• Lucy Sunshine, 11-inch: 820. One third: 273.
• Dominic, 11-inch: 700. Half: 350.
• Tristan, 11-inch: 890. A sixth: 148.
• Caspian, 11-inch: 970. One quarter: 243.

What About The Mini And Thick Versions?

Mini 6-inch runs low three hundreds for cheese and low four hundreds for protein pies. Mega dough versions are often twelve hundred to near fifteen hundred for the same toppings. That jump lines up with the crust totals shown above.

Tips To Cut Calories Without Feeling Shortchanged

• Ask for light cheese.
• Choose chicken or skip meat.
• Load roasted peppers, mushrooms, onions, arugula, and tomatoes.
• Keep drizzles small, or go with none.
• Share an 11-inch and add a side salad.

How These Numbers Were Chosen

Values in the tables come from the brand’s published menu and nutrition pages. For a wider pizza benchmark, the USDA’s reference slice is around two eighty five calories for a regular cheese slice, which lines up with many chains when you divide a comparable pie evenly.

Final Bites

You have three dials: base, cheese, and toppings. Pick the thin dough, keep proteins to one, and go heavy on vegetables, and you’ll land in a satisfying range without blowing your plan. Want a deeper read on weight management math? A short read on a calorie deficit plan pairs well with pizza night.
