Where each number comes from
Composition tables list ingredients, not dinners. There is no row anywhere for this plate, so it is built from its parts, and the preparation assumed for each part is written next to it, because that assumption is usually worth more calories than the ingredient.

Why you will see 905 to 1266 kcal quoted for this
The low figure is a Hallo Pizza Margherita at 365 g and 905 kcal. The high one is a 565 g pan pizza at 1,266. Per 100 g the sources barely differ: BLS has 238 kcal and the chains 248 to 263. The weight of the pizza decides the number.
Which is why this page shows the sum instead of asserting a total. Build the plate you actually eat and the number is yours rather than an average of strangers.
