Antico Pizza Nutrition | Smart Slice Guide

Nutrition Q & A / By

One Antico-style Margherita slice averages 200–260 calories; meat-topped slices often reach 260–340 due to extra cheese and cured meats.

Antico Menu Nutrition—Slice-By-Slice Guide

These wood-fired pies are thin, tender, and fast. A standard whole pie is close to 12 inches and is commonly cut into six. Using federal cheese-pizza baselines and adjusting for obvious toppings, here’s a practical range per slice. Names match what you’ll see on the Atlanta list.

Pie Est. Calories/Slice Notes
Margherita 220–260 Tomato, fresh mozzarella, basil; a drizzle of olive oil adds a little fat.
Marinara 150–210 No cheese base; some menus list white anchovy.
Bianca 240–300 Ricotta plus other cheeses push calories upward.
Capricciosa 260–320 Prosciutto cotto, artichoke, mushroom, and bufala.
Diavola 270–340 Spicy soppressata and pepperonata bring extra oil and salt.
San Gennaro 260–330 Sausage with sweet red pepper and bufala.
Lasagna 260–330 Meatball and ricotta; hearty yet still thin-crust.
Verdura 210–270 Vegetable-forward; often lighter than meat pies.
Napoletana 240–300 Broccoli rabe with sausage and bufala.

Why these ranges? A cheese slice in national datasets clusters near ~250 calories per 100–110 g. Thin Neapolitan crusts and fresh mozzarella trim density, while oil and cured meats pull in the other direction. If the kitchen cuts eight rather than six, your per-slice number drops accordingly.

What Shapes The Numbers

Dough And Bake

Flour, water, salt, yeast. That’s it. The high-heat bake leaves a light rim and a soft center. Less dough per bite means fewer calories than dense pan pies of the same diameter.

Cheese And Oil

Fresh mozzarella carries more water than low-moisture bricks, so grams stay in check. A finish of olive oil adds flavor and a small bump in fat. Double cheese or heavy ricotta turns that bump into a leap.

Meats And Salt

Sausage, soppressata, and prosciutto cotto pack taste and sodium. If you track blood pressure, pair a meaty slice with a simple salad and water, then keep the rest of the day on the lower-salt side.

Protein, Carbs, And Fat At A Glance

On a Margherita slice, plan roughly 9–12 g protein, 26–30 g carbs, and 7–10 g fat. Meat pies creep higher in protein and fat. A cheese-free slice skews carb-forward and very low in fat unless anchovy is added.

Menu Anchors And Toppings

The Atlanta list features classics like Margherita D.O.P., Marinara, Bianca, Capricciosa, Diavola, San Gennaro, Lasagna, Verdura, and Napoletana, with toppings such as bufala mozzarella, pecorino, San Marzano tomato, spicy soppressata, sweet red pepper, broccoli rabe, mushroom, artichoke, and prosciutto cotto.

How These Estimates Were Built

The baseline comes from federal cheese-pizza data, then shifts up or down for logical adds: no-cheese pies trend lower, multi-cheese pies trend higher, and cured meats raise both calories and sodium. Assumptions: a 12-inch pie, six slices, and fresh mozzarella unless the description says otherwise.

Smart Ordering Tips

Keep Calories In Check

  • Pick Marinara or split a Margherita and add a vegetable pie for balance.
  • Ask for light cheese or a lighter oil finish.
  • Share meat-heavy pies and add greens on the side.

Raise Protein Without A Big Calorie Jump

  • Add grilled sausage on half the pie.
  • Pair slices with a small chicken or bean salad.
  • Choose pies with ricotta dots instead of an extra layer of cheese.

Trim Sodium

  • Favor Marinara, Verdura, and Margherita over Diavola and San Gennaro.
  • Skip piling salty meats and extra cheese together.
  • Drink water; sauces and cheese already bring salt.

Allergens And Diet Cues

Wheat and dairy are part of the base experience. Marinara without added cheese can suit dairy-free diners, and anchovy turns it into a fish-containing option when listed. Cross-contact is possible in small kitchens, so anyone with strict needs should ask at the counter.

Table Of Practical Swaps Later In The Meal

Swap Est. Calorie Change Why It Helps
Marinara instead of Bianca -60 to -100 per slice Skips multiple cheeses.
Light cheese on Margherita -20 to -40 per slice Less mozzarella reduces fat.
Half-pie meat topping -30 to -50 per slice Fewer oily meats across the pie.
Add broccoli rabe or mushroom Neutral Fiber and water add fullness.
Skip finishing oil -10 to -25 per slice Cuts a small but real extra.
Split one pie, add side salad -1–2 slices overall Extra volume helps pacing.

Portion Ideas For Different Goals

Under 500 Calories

Two Margherita slices usually fit the target. If you want more food volume, trade one slice for a simple salad and sparkling water.

Training Day Balance

Two slices from a meat pie plus a side of greens and fruit. That lands protein in a friendly range while keeping carbs ready for effort.

Lower-Sodium Day

Choose Marinara and Verdura, add extra basil and vegetables, and keep the rest of the day low in salt.

Real-World Variability

Restaurant slices vary a bit. Dough balls can run slightly heavier, finishes can be a touch more generous, and pies may be cut into six or eight. Treat the ranges here as a lane that helps you order with confidence and adjust across the day.

Source-Backed Notes

Menu names and toppings align with the Atlanta listing, which includes Margherita D.O.P., Marinara, Bianca, Capricciosa, Diavola, San Gennaro, Lasagna, Verdura, and Napoletana. For calorie baselines, see the federated cheese-pizza entry maintained by MyFoodData, which mirrors the USDA’s FoodData Central. For sodium targets and daily limits, the American Heart Association’s guidance remains the gold standard; plan meat-heavy orders with that in mind.

Check the detailed nutrient profile for a cheese slice at Nutrition Facts for Cheese Pizza and review sensible daily sodium limits on the AHA sodium page. Those two touchstones anchor the ranges used here.

Method Snapshot

Assumptions

Estimates assume a 12-inch pie, six slices, fresh mozzarella unless stated, and typical toppings as listed in the Atlanta menu. The light, fast bake of Neapolitan pies means moisture loss is high and density is modest, which keeps per-slice calories in check compared with thick pan styles.

Adjustments You Can Make

If your table shares two pies, count your slices, match them to the ranges above, and balance the day. Add lean protein off the pie if you want more satiety without a big calorie swing.
