The difference

700 kcal

Maki is rice, fish and seaweed, with little fat. A pizza has a lot of dough plus cheese and oil, and it is a much bigger meal.

Piece for piece it evens out: one slice of pizza is about 125 kcal, one piece of nigiri about 50. Three slices are 375, more than the eight maki.

Tempura, mayo and cream cheese rolls push sushi up. Sharing a pizza brings it down.
