How many calories are in Papa John’s pizza?
My go-to pizza at Papa John’s right now is the Hawaiian Chicken pizza with lighter cheese. 3 slices are only 780 calories, which is a very reasonable calorie count for any meal. It’s crazy that by making a few smarter choices you can go from consuming 1,520 calories to 780 and basically eat the same thing.
As of now, no pizza places that I know of offer a low-fat cheese option. But Papa John’s does offer a “lighter cheese” option, which saves about 40 calories per slice. If you’re eating a few slices, that adds up. And it still tastes delicious.
What are some good recipes for pizza?
1) Spinach, fresh tomato sauce and ricotta (above) 2) Taco style: refried beans, salsa and cheddar. 3) Broccoli, fresh tomato and a smidge of crumbled bacon. 4) Roasted Butternut Squash and fresh kale.
Here’s how to build a pie with a healthier profile. You can make your own with this quick and easy recipe. Each satisfying slice will have extra fiber and protein. Go for big flavor and fewer calories by using a combination of part-skim mozzarella, sharp provolone and naturally lower-fat Parmesan.
