How is the average pizza in Italy 500-800 calories, while the average pizza from Pizza Hut 2100 calories?

What? It's only 2100? I don't feel so bad for eating a whole pizza anymore.

Thanks.

The average pizza there is smaller and has MUCH less cheese, often even no cheese at all, very simple really.

The food in Italy is so much lighter than in America. For example, as a skinny teenager last summer in italy i ate the following for dinner(keep in mind I'm vegan):
1 pizza marinara
1 salad with vinaigrette dressing
1 pasta aribiatta
2 servings grilled vegetables
The waitstaff's jaws would drop after I finished the whole thing and then asked for directions to the nearest gelateria to buy sorbetto

Pizza Hut's pizza has much more calories, as do all other pizzas. Italy makes original pizza, the rest of the world kinda just took the general idea. But god damn... They are good.

Part of the reason. Europeans and Asians generally serve and consume much smaller portions than we do in America and Canada. For example, in Euro fast food joints, it's common that the only drink size is 12 ounces or 16 ounces, which is considered a small in the US. Or like in Japan, it's common for little more than one pound of food to feed a family of four for dinner, and it's often a dish heavy in wholesome starch and vegetables like sukiyaki.

And then there's the American cooking processes that dictate everything in a restaurant must be drenched in oils. Ever touch a Pizza Hut regular crust? That shit is damn near DRENCHED in grease and oil. Real pizza crusts are not supposed to be that fucking fatty. And there's even more oil and lots of sugar in the sauce, compared a quality restaurant which would likely make their own sauce daily from little more than perfectly ripened tomatoes.

And then the fact that our places like Pizza Hut and Papa Johns insist on making disgusting gimmick pizzas that have one pound of cheese or are topped with nothing but low quality meats.

It's just bad hoodoo all around. Although I won't deny that greasy shit can be delicious.

pizza hut soaks their dough in oil overnight. thats why their crust is so greasy.
