The difference

200 kcal

The burger brings about 42 grams of protein, the pizza 40, but the pizza has more than twice the carbs.

The fries next to the burger change the picture: add 320 kcal and the burger meal is past the pizza.

Splitting a pizza, or having half and taking the rest home, is the easiest win here.
