According to the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (AVPN), the traditional Neapolitan pizza follows strict rules using minimal, high-quality ingredients. But is traditional Neapolitan pizza healthy, or is it just another indulgence? This article breaks down its nutritional value.

An authentic 10-inch Neapolitan Margherita pizza contains approximately 800-930 calories, according to nutritional analyses. However, determining the precise number of calories in a full Italian pizza is complex, as it varies significantly based on size, crust thickness, and toppings.

Depending on the toppings, a whole 10-inch Neapolitan pizza can contain anywhere from 640 to nearly 1,000 calories. This wide range illustrates how much the quality and quantity of ingredients, particularly cheese and fatty meats, can influence the final nutritional profile.
