At Round Table Pizza, you can choose from a slice of pizza or a sandwich as your entree. The pizza chain also serves a limited number of salads, appetizers and desserts. An article in "Better Nutrition" magazine suggests that an average serving of pizza has at least 600 calories and 25 g of fat. The nutrition information provided by Round Table Pizza will help you determine what toppings to order and how many slices you can eat before your meal reaches dangerous levels of fat and calories.
Appetizers
Round Table Pizza serves traditional pizza parlor appetizers, including breadsticks and wings. One Garlic Parmesan Twist has 170 calories, 2 g of saturated fat and 460 mg of sodium. One slice of Garlic Bread has 360 calories, 9 g of saturated fat and 600 mg of sodium. One Honey BBQ Wing has 80 calories, 1.5 g of saturated fat and 180 mg of sodium.
Pizza
Each slice of pizza at Round Table has a significant amount of sodium, but also supplies some calcium. The Italian Garlic Supreme has 630 mg of sodium per slice, as well as 260 calories and 6 g of saturated fat. The All Meat has 660 mg of sodium in each slice, with 260 calories and 6 g of saturated fat. The Garden Delight is better with 450 mg of sodium, 200 calories and 3.5 g of saturated fat. All of the pizzas with meat have more calories and saturated fat than the cheese and vegetarian pizzas.
Salads and Sandwiches
You can choose a garden salad or a Caesar salad to go with your slice of pizza. A garden salad has 90 calories and a Caesar salad has 120 calories and 2.5 g of saturated fat. The sandwiches can be ordered in place of pizza, but are very high in salt. The Chicken Club has 2,190 mg of sodium in one serving, as well as 700 calories and 14 g of saturated fat. The Ham Club has even more sodium with 2,330 mg and also has 640 calories and 14 g of saturated fat. The Veggie has less sodium, with 1,630 but still has 530 calories and 11 g of saturated fat.
Desserts
There are two desserts to choose from at Round Table Pizza and each will add calories and fat to your pizza. The Dessert Pizza has 210 calories and 1.5 g of saturated fat per serving. The Cinnamon Twists have several grams of fat and 180 calories in each serving. The desserts also have a few grams of added sugar.
Considerations
According to "Better Nutrition" magazine, some slices of pizza can have more fat and calories than a double cheeseburger at a fast food restaurant. If you cannot stop with just one slice of pizza, you will be eating the fat and calories of two or more double cheeseburgers. One reason is because many pizza chains pile on the cheese, which adds unhealthy saturated fat, calories and salt to each slice. Ordering your pizza with just a small amount of cheese will help and so will ordering a vegetarian option since they have far less calories and fat than meat pizzas.
