Calories in Pizza (Ireland)

Pizza ranked by protein density

Showing the top 50 of the 662 pizza products that carry a comparable calorie figure, ranked by protein per 100 calories. Figures per label, sourced from Open Food Facts and tracker user logs.

What the pizza numbers show

662 of the 664 pizza products carry 20 calories or more per 100g, which is the floor below which protein per 100 calories stops being a real number. Across those the median is 4.4g of protein per 100 calories. Not one of them clears 10g of protein per 100 calories, which is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

Calories run from 22 to 520 per 100g inside this one group, a 24-fold spread, so “pizza” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

Name brands do lead this one: 4.4g of protein per 100 calories at the median across 593 products, against 4.3g for the 69 own-label ones.

Lidl is the only Irish chain with enough own-label pizza to compare fairly — 35 products at a median of 4.2g per 100 calories. Everywhere else this is a name-brand shelf.

What to actually pick

Nothing here is a protein food, so treat it as calories. At a median of 4.4g of protein per 100 calories this group is a taste and energy decision, not a macro one.

19 of the 662 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Where this fits

Only one chain carries enough of this own-label to break out separately, so Lidl Pizza is the one sub-page here, next to everything else Lidl sells.

If the real question is what to put on the plate, there is a week of Irish meals with the numbers already done.

For one specific product rather than the whole group, the 20,000-product database is searchable on Calories in Ireland, and the same figures are built into the free calorie tracker.
