Hi all,

Haven't posted for a while, hope your all good.

Going Pizza Express in an hour or so, any good info on the carbs.

Pasta's i'm hoping will be around 80- 90G??

Basic Pizza advise, Guestimates anyone???!!!


Thanks guys
 
I swear this info used to be on the web somewhere but now all I can find on the Pizza Express website is calorie information!

My Collins carb counter says that most Pizza Express pizzas are around 90g of carb. 🙂
 
I tend to guess somewhere around 20-25g per slice, but that's really a guess I'm afraid! Can you swing by a supermarket on the way, most sell pizza express pizzas now so a look at a box would give you an indication.
 
These are the stats i found for a margharita from pizza express so i guess the rest must be simlier



Pizza, Margherita, Pizza Express

Calories in 100g of pizzaCalories 195.0kcal
Carbohydrate 30.5g
Protein 10.2g
Fat 3.6g
Fibre 1.4g


Calories per half a pizza (135g): 263kcal

hope thats gives some kind of help
 
Pizza Express have a good reputation, I'm sure they would be willing to help if you phoned and explained what you want.
 
Hi Dave,

Hope your doing alright, I'd go with what Aymes says for an average slice, but they may have the information there as Caroline says. Well a bit late I know hope you had a good one.

Cheers

Thanks guys.

Hi Rossi, doing fine mate, you good??

There was no carb info on the menu, so i went lasagne and garlic bread, and a cheeky lager. It was well nice! tested at bedtime and was 11, so wasn't too displeased.

Gonna buy some supermarket pizza express at weekend at begin my pizza tollerance experiment!! Man, this diabetes is soooo consuming on my brain!
 
Good to hear you enjoyed it Dave - I think next Wednesday is the planned Pizza night on the forum so why not give it a go then and compare levels with everyone?
 
i usually ask someone for the nutritional info if they don't have it somewhere obvious.

ask someone sensible looking though...last time in pizza hut, i asked for the above and he brought me the large print version of the menu *headdesk*
 
Heya dave glad you had good time I have now gone down to having mini pizza now but if we do the experiment on weds then ill take part but do my own

All good here cheers, on the Shiraz!

Hi Rossi

Defo mate. Give me a shout when you might be around and we'll sort out a beer.

Cheers
 
Evening guys,

Done the Pizza Experiment on Sat. Bought a Pizza Express from Sainsburys, (not a massive one). Sloppy Guissepe it was, peppers onions, chilli beef, tom and motzarella. Fine, fine pizza!!

Packaging said 41G per half pizza (my current ratio for Humalog is 1 unit per 10G) so 80G for the lot. Tested 8 before eating, injected 8 units, tested 2 and a half hours later and was 8.5. Wowzer it worked!!!!

Hope this helps anyone, if it does happy days....

Next visit to Pizza Express, will be pizza all the way!!
