Calories in pizza

Ok this is gonna sound really pedantic and ridiculous - but over a meal with friends in (ironically) pizza express this evening there was a discussion of roughly how many calories there are in a pizza - obviously it could vary widely depending upon how thick/ what toppings/ crust type blah blah blah - but no one could really agree on even a rough idea. (Not that it exactly matters in the world!!!!) but what do you reckon - in say an average margherita? like min max?

what string?
Pizza Express pizzas typically have around 600 - 900 calories depending on type. American Hot has 788 I believe. It's important to look at the amount of fat as well though...I'm guessing prob around 30g.

Speaking of pizza, i ordered a pizza hut deep pan margerita last night. It arrived, I paid, opened it and it was half pepperoni, but like, EXTRA pepperoni. Luckily I am not vegetarian and it actually turned out to be very tasty. But I guess whoever wanted the pepperoni was pretty pissed off that they just got a margerita....
