About New york pizza slice
The New York pizza slice is a styled serving of pizza that originated in Italy but was adapted in New York City, becoming a hallmark of American-Italian cuisine in the early 20th century. It is typically characterized by a thin, foldable crust topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and often additional toppings like pepperoni or vegetables. A standard plain slice averages around 300-400 calories with approximately 12 grams of protein, 14-16 grams of fat, and 36-45 grams of carbohydrates per serving (varies by preparation). It also contains calcium, iron, and vitamin B2 due to the cheese and dough but can be high in sodium, depending on toppings and preparation methods.
Health Benefits
- Provides calcium for bone health, with each slice containing about 200-250 mg from the cheese.
- Offers protein, contributing to muscle maintenance, with 12-15 grams per slice from the cheese and dough.
- Tomato sauce contains lycopene, an antioxidant associated with reduced inflammation and heart health.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Refrigerate leftover slices in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in an oven or skillet to maintain the texture of the crust.

Can I eat a New York pizza slice on a keto diet?
A New York pizza slice is not compatible with a keto diet due to its high carbohydrate content, largely from the wheat-based crust, which often exceeds daily carb limits for keto. Consider keto-friendly pizza options made with almond or cauliflower crusts instead.
What are the health benefits or concerns of eating a New York pizza slice?
New York pizza slices provide calcium from cheese and some protein, but they can be high in refined carbs, saturated fats, and sodium, which can contribute to weight gain and health issues if eaten excessively. Opting for vegetable toppings or whole-grain crust can improve the nutritional profile.

One slice is often enough for a light meal, providing around 285 calories. If paired with a salad or other sides, one slice can work well. For larger appetites, two slices may be reasonable, but consuming more can lead to excess calorie and sodium intake.
How does a New York pizza slice compare to other types of pizza?
New York pizza is known for its thin, pliable crust, making it lighter in calories compared to deep-dish or thick-crust pizzas. However, it tends to have more carbohydrates than alternatives like a cauliflower crust due to the traditional wheat base.
