Marco's Pizza Nutrition Calculator: The Short Answer
The Cheese Pizza Slice (Large) at Marco's Pizza has 290 calories, with 13g of protein, 12g of fat and 560mg of sodium — the standard build, exactly as the Marco's Pizza Nutrition Calculator lists it. The Marco's Pizza menu tracked here does not list "Pizza Crust" by that name, so the closest match on the menu — the Cheese Pizza Slice (Large) — is the item answered below.
For context, the Marco's Pizza Nutrition Calculator tracks 16 items, and the average one runs about 276 calories. 7 of them come in under 300 calories and 15 under 500, while the heaviest — the Italian Sub (Regular) — reaches 530. Where a single item sits inside that spread matters more than the item's reputation: menus, not names, decide what a meal costs.
The Full Breakdown: What Is in the Cheese Pizza Slice?
The full profile of the Cheese Pizza Slice (Large) at Marco's Pizza: 290 calories, 13g of protein, 28g of carbohydrates, 12g of fat, 2g of fibre, 3g of sugar and 560mg of sodium. Against a 2,000-calorie reference day, that is 14% of the day's calories, 24% of the sodium guideline and 6% of the 50g sugar daily value — which is why the same item can be a light choice in one day and the whole budget in another.
Where those calories sit matters as much as the total. Protein contributes 52 of them, carbohydrate 112 and fat 108 — so the Cheese Pizza Slice is a carb-led item, which is why pairing it with a lean protein usually balances the meal. That split, not the headline number alone, is what decides how long the meal keeps you full.
How Does It Compare With the Rest of the Marco's Pizza Menu?
One number means little without the menu around it. The table below lines the Cheese Pizza Slice up against the lightest item at Marco's Pizza, the highest-protein item, the best protein-per-calorie pick and the heaviest item on the menu.

What Pushes the Number Up (and How to Pull It Down)?
At Marco's Pizza, the headline item is rarely the whole story: size upgrades, sauces, cheese and the side you add by habit regularly contribute as much as the main itself. The menu's own extremes prove the point — the same kitchen produces the Bottled Water at 0 calories and the Italian Sub (Regular) at 530. The gap between a light visit and a heavy one is almost never the restaurant; it is two or three quiet additions.
The reliable defence is to decide the extras on purpose. Keep one rich addition — a sauce, a cheese, a dessert — rather than stacking them, and let high-volume, low-calorie items do the filling: the Deluxe Pizza Slice (Large) leads this menu for fibre at 3g, and fibre is what makes a lighter order still feel like a meal three hours later.
- Lightest item on the menu: Bottled Water — 0 calories
- Heaviest item on the menu: Italian Sub (Regular) — 530 calories
- Best protein per calorie: Chicken Wings (5 pc, bone-in) — 7.4g per 100 calories
- Items under 300 calories here: 7 of 16
What About the Sodium and Sugar?
Calories get the attention, but at Marco's Pizza the quieter numbers deserve a look. The saltiest item on the menu, the Italian Sub (Regular), carries 1290mg of sodium — 56% of the full day's 2,300mg guideline in a single item — while the least salty, the Bottled Water, carries just 0mg. Salt rarely tracks calories: plenty of light-looking orders are sodium-heavy, and plenty of hearty ones are moderate.
Sugar is more concentrated. The Coca-Cola (20 oz) holds 65g — more than the American Heart Association's full-day suggested limit for women (25g) and men (36g) — while most savoury items sit in single digits. The practical rule: check the drink and dessert line first, because that is where the sugar in a Marco's Pizza order almost always lives.
How Does This Fit the Rest of Your Day?
No Marco's Pizza order happens in isolation, so place this one against a reference day of about 2,000 calories, 2,300mg of sodium and a 50g sugar daily value. The average item in the Marco's Pizza Nutrition Calculator runs about 276 calories, which means a typical one-item-plus-side order lands near a third of the day's energy before a drink is counted. That is not a problem to solve — it is a budget to be aware of, and the awareness is most of the value: the rest of the day can run lighter precisely because lunch was counted.
The pattern that works for most people is asymmetry. On a day when Marco's Pizza is the main event, let the other meals be simple and protein-led, drink water by default, and treat the Coca-Cola (20 oz) (65g of sugar) as the dessert decision made in advance rather than at the till. On a day when the other meals are the occasion, Marco's Pizza can be the light one instead — the Bottled Water at 0 calories proves the menu supports it. Either way, the plan is made once, calmly, instead of being renegotiated at every meal.
- Menu average: ~276 calories per item across 16 tracked items
- Lightest anchor: Bottled Water — 0 calories
- Best protein per calorie: Chicken Wings (5 pc, bone-in) — 7.4g per 100 cal
- Fibre leader: Deluxe Pizza Slice (Large) — 3g, against a 28g daily target
- Salt ceiling to watch: Italian Sub (Regular) — 1290mg in one item
