Considerations
Each of Numero Uno's pepperoni pizza's are prepared with fresh sliced pepperoni, whole milk mozzarella cheese, onion, garlic, a blend of spices, and fresh tomatoes. The difference in calorie count, according to the company, is due largely to the fact that twice the amount of ingredients are used to prepare the deep dish.
The American Dietetic Association finds that the average calorie count for one meal should average between 300 and 400 calories, depending on your daily caloric count. They suggest that the average daily calorie intake is 1,200 to 1,500 calories for women and 2,000 to 2,200 calories for men.
