The Lou Malnati’s and Portillo’s pizza collaboration offers two unique varieties, each boasting its own set of nutritional attributes. The Sweet Peppers variety, when divided into its respective six servings, boasts 370 calories per slice. Within this slice, you’ll get 26 grams of fat, 35 milligrams of cholesterol, 600 milligrams of sodium, 29 grams of carbohydrates, and an impressive 16 grams of protein. As for vitamins and minerals, this variant provides 20% of the recommended daily intake for calcium, 10% for iron, and 4% for potassium.
On the other hand, the Hot Giardiniera variety, apportioned into five slices per pizza, comes in slightly richer at 440 calories per slice. The fat content remains stable at 26 grams, but it registers a tad higher in cholesterol, measuring 45 milligrams. Interestingly, it’s a touch lower on the sodium front with 430 milligrams and offers 33 grams of carbohydrates and 19 grams of protein per serving. In terms of vitamins, both pizzas contribute 20% of your daily calcium needs. However, the Giardiniera variety provides a slightly higher iron content at 15% of daily requirements and 6% for potassium.
It’s worth noting that the Sweet Peppers variety doesn’t quite live up to its name in terms of flavor; rather than a pronounced sweetness, it predominantly exudes a robust pepper flavor. Many pizza aficionados, like us, will find that two or three slices make for a hearty and fulfilling meal.
