Which Pizza Has the Most Protein?

MOD Pizza Nutrition Calculator: The Short Answer

The Protein Ranking at MOD Pizza

Ranked by total protein, from the MOD Pizza Nutrition Calculator. If the goal is the largest single protein hit — after training, or to carry a light day — the top of this table is the answer. If the goal is protein inside a calorie budget, sort your eye by the last-but-one column instead.

Total Protein vs Protein per Calorie

The biggest protein number and the smartest protein number are different items more often than not. The Calexico Pizza (11-inch) delivers 50g but charges 860 calories for it — 5.8g per 100 calories. The Calexico Pizza (11-inch) returns 5.8g per 100 calories, so across a 600-calorie meal built on it you would bank roughly 35g of protein instead of roughly 35g from an equally calorific Calexico Pizza-based meal.

Which measure should win depends on the day. Chasing a daily total on a hungry day: take the headline item. Fitting protein into a deficit: take the efficient one and spend the saved calories on volume — the Mad Dog, Mega Dough (11-inch) (7g fibre) is the menu's best tool for staying full afterwards.

Building a 50g-Protein Meal Here

Two-item builds are how most people actually reach 50g at a counter like this. Start with the Calexico Pizza (11-inch) (50g), then add the highest-protein lighter item that fits the day — from the ranking above, anything in the top four takes the meal past 50g. Total the pair in the calculator before ordering: protein adds linearly, but so do sodium and fat, and the pair's totals — not the headline item's — are what your day actually receives.

• Anchor: Calexico Pizza (11-inch) — 50g protein, 860 cal
• Efficiency pick: Calexico Pizza (11-inch) — 5.8g per 100 cal
• Watch the sodium: Mad Dog, Mega Dough (11-inch) — 2410mg

What About the Sodium and Sugar?

Calories get the attention, but at MOD Pizza the quieter numbers deserve a look. The saltiest item on the menu, the Mad Dog, Mega Dough (11-inch), carries 2410mg of sodium — 105% of the full day's 2,300mg guideline in a single item — while the least salty, the Fountain Drink (Regular), carries just 10mg. Salt rarely tracks calories: plenty of light-looking orders are sodium-heavy, and plenty of hearty ones are moderate.

Sugar is more concentrated. The Fountain Drink (Regular) holds 58g — 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 MOD Pizza order almost always lives.

How Does This Fit the Rest of Your Day?

No MOD 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 MOD Pizza Nutrition Calculator runs about 620 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 MOD Pizza is the main event, let the other meals be simple and protein-led, drink water by default, and treat the Fountain Drink (Regular) (58g of sugar) as the dessert decision made in advance rather than at the till. On a day when the other meals are the occasion, MOD Pizza can be the light one instead — the Fountain Drink (Regular) at 210 calories proves the menu supports it. Either way, the plan is made once, calmly, instead of being renegotiated at every meal.

• Menu average: ~620 calories per item across 15 tracked items
• Lightest anchor: Fountain Drink (Regular) — 210 calories
• Best protein per calorie: Calexico Pizza (11-inch) — 5.8g per 100 cal
• Fibre leader: Mad Dog, Mega Dough (11-inch) — 7g, against a 28g daily target
• Salt ceiling to watch: Mad Dog, Mega Dough (11-inch) — 2410mg in one item

What Does the Whole Menu Look Like?

Zoom out one level and the shape of the MOD Pizza menu explains most individual answers in this series. The lightest eight items below are where light orders come from; the heaviest end — the Mad Dog, Mega Dough (11-inch) at 1250 calories — is where unplanned orders drift. 3 of the 15 tracked items sit under 300 calories and 7 under 500, so the menu is not short of workable options at any goal. What it rewards is choosing from the table rather than from habit: the same visit can be a 400-calorie errand or a 1,200-calorie event, and the difference is a handful of selections, each visible here before you make it.

The Bottom Line

The Calexico Pizza (11-inch) has the most protein at MOD Pizza among the pizza options. If your build differs from the standard one — an extra sauce, a different size, a swapped side — run it through the MOD Pizza Nutrition Calculator before you order: thirty seconds there replaces every guess in this article with your exact total.
