Fat Content
The original crust version gets 39 percent of its calories from fat at 130 fat calories. One slice of the 14-inch size contains 15 g of total fat, comprising 23% of the daily recommended amount for a diet of 2,000 calories. The thin crust version gets about 56 percent of its calories from fat at 150 fat calories. It has 16 g of total fat for 25% of the daily recommended amount.
Other Pizza Options
The cheese pizza has fewer calories because it lacks the sausage. You may want more toppings than cheese, however. The "Garden Fresh" pizza has numerous toppings and contains 50 fewer calories per slice than the sausage in both original and thin crust.
