One square is 420 calories, two are 841
The default here is a big, school-style square: a 173 g slice of Bake Crafters cheese pizza, cut eight to a sheet. That piece holds 420 calories, 26 g of protein and 45 g of carbs. On its own it covers about 21% of the daily calorie reference, which makes it a meal, not a snack.
If your square looks smaller, it is probably the 10-Cut size. That slice weighs 150 g and comes in at 341 calories, with 20 g of protein and 570 mg of sodium. It is lighter, but still not a small bite, and that is the honest answer to anyone asking about a small square piece of pizza.
Squares are easy to stack because they look modest on a plate. Two 173 g slices reach 841 calories, three reach 1,261 and five, a party-tray amount, total 2,102 calories. Count the squares rather than the plates, and the total stays where you expect it.
Carbs lead, but fat supplies a third of the calories
Per 100 g, this pizza carries 26 g of carbs, 15 g of protein and 9.3 g of fat. Converted to calories, carbs supply 42%, fat 34% and protein 24%. The crust drives the carbs; the cheese brings most of the fat.
Protein is the pleasant surprise. A 173 g slice gives 26 g, which is 52% of the daily value, and even the 10-Cut slice delivers 20 g. Per 100 g, the square has 15 g of protein against 9.7 g in a pizza pocket and 5.3 g in a veggie pizza, so it does more work as a protein source than most pizza on this site.
Fiber and sugar stay low: 4 g of fiber and 3 g of sugars per slice. Saturated fat is the quieter cost. It runs 4.6 g per 100 g out of 9.3 g total fat, so roughly half of the fat is saturated. Cholesterol is modest at 26 mg per 100 g.
Sodium is the row to watch
One 173 g slice carries 709 mg of sodium, 31% of the daily value. Per 100 g that is 410 mg, or 18%. The 10-Cut slice trims it to 570 mg, which is 25% of the day. Those are respectable numbers for a single piece, and the problem starts with the second one.
Two slices land at 1,419 mg of sodium. Three reach 2,128 mg, close to a full day's value from pizza alone, and five squares hit 3,547 mg. Calories climb in step, but sodium is the row that runs out first.
If you watch sodium, decide on the number of squares before the tray arrives. One slice with low-sodium sides fits most days without strain. Three slices plus salty extras like chips or pickles leave very little room for anything else.
Pair one square with produce, not a second square
A single 420-calorie slice already has enough protein and starch to anchor a lunch. What it lacks is volume and fiber, with only 4 g per slice. A side salad, raw vegetables or a piece of fruit fills that gap and adds bulk to the plate without adding much to the total.
Versions vary. Bake Crafters also makes a Whole Grain Cheese Pizza Square and White Garlic Pizza Squares, and Mendelsohn's Pizza Squares show up in stores too. The numbers on this page are for the cheese square, so log the version you actually ate and check its label. BodyPal can log a slice from a photo, which helps when the square came off a cafeteria tray with no wrapper.
For the rest of the day, think of a square as a meal that has already used about a fifth of your calories and close to a third of your sodium. Lighter, less salty meals around it keep the day balanced.
How does square cut pizza compare?
Here is how a square cut pizza slice stacks up against a pizza pocket, a veggie pizza slice and a Pizza Luce slice, per 100 g and per usual serving.
Verdict: For fewer calories per serving, pick a 130 g pizza pocket at 317 or a veggie pizza slice at 360; for the most protein per bite, the square cut slice wins with 15 g per 100 g. Skip Pizza Luce if you watch sodium, since it is the densest here at 266 calories and 540 mg of sodium per 100 g.
