FoodMate Score for menu items is our estimate based on a typical recipe: chains only publish macros. As in the app, items under 250 kcal are not scored. How the FoodMate Score works
Source: "Calories and ingredients" on papajohns.ru: macros per 100 g and weights, converted per serving; pizzas 23 cm, traditional crust; checked in September 2026; photos from the same site.
How to count pizza
The table shows a whole 23 cm pizza on traditional crust, as listed on the chain's nutrition page. 30 and 35 cm pizzas are bigger and heavier, and are easiest to count by weight and calories per 100 g. For one person it is easier to count a share: a quarter of a 23 cm Pepperoni is about 302 kcal, a quarter of a Margherita about 267.
Per 100 g the chain's pizzas range from 231 kcal for the Capricciosa to 318 kcal for the Meat BBQ. If your slice is a different size, multiply its weight by these numbers.
What to order if you are losing weight
The lightest pizzas are the Vegetarian (896 kcal for 23 cm), Capricciosa (901 kcal) and Mexican (916 kcal). Outside pizza, the Chicken Florentine pasta (383 kcal and 26.4 g of protein) and the teriyaki shrimp pasta (374 kcal and 23.1 g of protein) look best.
For a snack, 9 nuggets work well: 291 kcal and 20.2 g of protein. Syrniki with sauce are 318 kcal and 21 g of protein, a decent breakfast.
Where the calories hide
The most caloric pizzas are the Pepperoni (1208 kcal for 23 cm) and the Meat BBQ (1192 kcal). But the real trap is the snacks: cheddar sticks weigh 340 g and give 1125 kcal, more than a 23 cm Margherita. Cheese sticks are 995 kcal, the pepperoni roll 986.
Sweets are heavy too: the apple and lingonberry scrolls are 1024 kcal for 8, the pancakes with nut paste 597 kcal for 3.
Where to get more protein
The Pepperoni pizza has the most protein, 47.3 g, but together with 1208 kcal. BBQ wings give 39.9 g of protein for 607 kcal, the BBQ chicken papadias 39.8 g for 673 kcal. The pastas have the best ratio: Chicken Florentine and teriyaki shrimp.
Lunch under 600 kcal
- Chicken Florentine pasta and oven-baked potatoes: 569 kcal and 29.4 g of protein.
- 9 nuggets and potato wedges: 571 kcal and 25.3 g of protein.
- Chicken doner and oven-baked potatoes: 562 kcal and 20.6 g of protein.
For comparison, a whole 23 cm Pepperoni pizza is 1208 kcal.
