How Many Calories in a Calexico Pizza?

MOD Pizza Nutrition Calculator: The Short Answer

The Calexico Pizza vs the Rest of the MOD Pizza Menu

Same kitchen, very different numbers. Here is the Calexico Pizza next to the items people most often swap it with — or should.

What Pushes the Number Up (and Down)

At MOD Pizza, the headline item is rarely the whole story: sauces, cheese, larger sizes and the side you add by habit regularly contribute as much as the main itself. The Fountain Drink (Regular) alone carries 58g of sugar, and the Mad Dog, Mega Dough (11-inch) carries 2410mg of sodium — either can quietly turn a reasonable order into the heaviest one of your day.

The reliable way to know your real total is to build the exact order — main, side, drink and sauce — in the MOD Pizza calculator before you pay. Thirty seconds there replaces the guesswork that makes published "typical meal" figures so unreliable.

• Lightest item on the menu: Fountain Drink (Regular) — 210 calories
• Heaviest item on the menu: Mad Dog, Mega Dough (11-inch) — 1250 calories
• Best protein per calorie: Calexico Pizza (11-inch) — 5.8g per 100 calories

What One Calexico Pizza Does to Your Day

Set against the standard 2,000-calorie reference day, one Calexico Pizza (11-inch) uses 43% of the day's calories, 100% of the protein target, 35% of the carb allowance and 36% of the fat budget. Its 2050mg of sodium is 89% of the 2,300mg daily guideline — the figure that most often surprises people, because sodium concentrates in restaurant food far faster than calories do.

None of those percentages is a verdict on its own. A Calexico Pizza at 43% of the day's calories can be a sensible meal anchor; the same item plus a large side and a sweetened drink can quietly pass 60% of the day before dinner. The calculator's daily-value bars exist for exactly this check: build the whole order, not just the headline item, and read the day you are actually committing to.

• Calexico Pizza (11-inch): 860 cal · 50g protein · 95g carbs · 28g fat
• Sodium: 2050mg (89% of the daily guideline)
• Sugar: 10g of the 50g daily value · Fibre: 5g of 28g

A Worked MOD Pizza Meal Under 550 Calories

Numbers are easier to act on as a meal than as a ranking. This build starts from the Calexico Pizza (11-inch) — the menu's best protein-per-calorie item — and adds the lightest items that still fit under 550 calories. Every figure is summed from the same items the MOD Pizza calculator lists, so you can rebuild it exactly and adjust it to your own order.

The finished build totals 860 calories with 50g of protein, 95g of carbs, 28g of fat and 2050mg of sodium. Swap any line for a favourite and re-run the total before you order: one richer side or sauce is usually the difference between this build and one several hundred calories heavier, and it is far easier to make that trade on screen than at the counter.

The Full Nutrition Profile of the Calexico Pizza

Here is the complete panel for the Calexico Pizza (11-inch), exactly as the MOD Pizza calculator carries it, with each nutrient also expressed as a percentage of its daily value on a 2,000-calorie reference diet. Read down the percentage column rather than the grams: it is the fastest way to see which nutrient this item is really about. For the Calexico Pizza, the standout is protein, at 100% of a full day in a single item.

Two cautions belong with any single-item panel. First, published values describe the standard build — your portion, your sauce quantity and your size can move every line. Second, percentages are shares of a whole day, not grades: an item at 45% of the day's sodium is a problem only in the context of what else the day holds, which is why the calculator totals the full order rather than judging items one at a time.

Where This Answer Sits on the Whole MOD Pizza Menu

Zoom out and the MOD Pizza menu tracked here spans 15 items across 3 categories, from the Fountain Drink (Regular) at 210 calories to the Mad Dog, Mega Dough (11-inch) at 1250 — a 6-fold spread inside one restaurant. The average item is about 620 calories, 6 items pass 700 calories, and 7 of 15 sit under 500. Any single number quoted from this menu means little until it is placed inside that spread.

That spread is also the opportunity. A menu this wide almost always contains a build for the goal you actually have — the protein target, the sodium ceiling, the 500-calorie lunch — provided the order is assembled deliberately rather than inherited from habit. The rankings in this article are the map; the calculator is where you test the route before you travel it.

• Menu range: 210 cal (Fountain Drink (Regular)) to 1250 cal (Mad Dog, Mega Dough (11-inch))
• 3 items under 300 calories · 7 under 500 · average 620
• Most protein-dense: Calexico Pizza (11-inch) at 5.8g protein per 100 cal

The One Swap That Changes the Answer

If the Calexico Pizza (11-inch) is your usual order and the numbers above are more than you wanted, the highest-value single change on this menu is the Fountain Drink (Regular): 210 calories against 860 (650 fewer), 0g of protein against 50g, and 10mg of sodium against 2050mg (2040mg less salt). One swap, repeated weekly, is worth more than a month of good intentions.

Not every swap has to be a downgrade in enjoyment: the pattern that works at MOD Pizza is swapping the component, not the meal — the same style of order rebuilt around a lighter anchor, with the sauce, cheese or side demoted from default to deliberate. Price both versions in the calculator once and the better default usually picks itself.
