Looking at the nutrition facts, you can see that the fat intake isn’t much different because they aren’t changing the toppings. However, when you look at the carbohydrates you will see that they are nearly half the amount as the original pan crust pizza. Calorie wise, there is a difference of about 100 total. In the long term, that 100 calorie difference could mean a change of 1 pound in one month, and 12 pounds in a year!
So if you are going to eat pizza think thin crust or “Skinny Crust.”
