The fact is that crust accounts for about 50 calories in a pizza slice of 200 to 300 calories. Therefore, you can significantly decrease calorie level by making thin crust pizza instead of the traditional one.

If you compare the original crust pizza of 312 calories with thin crust pizza, you will reduce the calorie level to about 230 calories by making the second one. On the other hand, deep-dish pizza with the same topping will have 640 calories.
