D.P. Dough Nutrition Information

A fixture in quaint downtown strips and near college campuses across the United States, D.P. Dough and its famous calzones are a force to be reckoned with -- literally. Though D.P. Dough's calzones, or zones as it refers to them, do contain some healthy ingredients, including broccoli, pineapple, eggplant and tomato, they are also relatively high in fat, particularly the more meaty options on the menu.

  1. Calories

    • There are approximately 900 calories in one D.P. Dough Calzone, representing 45 percent of the FDA's recommended daily intake. The amount of calories in a zone varies based on the type of zone; zones with fruit or vegetables, such as the Maui Wowi, typically have fewer calories than meaty zones, like the Combat Zone.

    Fat Content

    • The average calzone from D.P. Dough has approximately 100 g. of fat. D.P. Dough calzones are made without trans fats, but many zones, particularly those with large amounts of sausage and pepperoni, are high in saturated fat. The highest contributors to fat in D.P. Dough calzones are the meat and cheese options.

    Potassium, Fiber and Protein

    • D.P. Dough calzones can be a significant source of fiber and protein, though potassium content is minimal. The average zone at D.P. Dough contains 12 g of fiber and eight g. of protein but only four mg. of potassium. Meaty zones like the Cheezeburg are great sources of protein but are high in fat as well. D.P. Dough zones are not a significant source of iron, Vitamin A or Vitamin C.

    Cholesterol, Sodium, Carbs and Sugars

    • The average D.P. Dough zone contains four mg. of cholesterol, 600 mg of sodium, 120 g of carbohydrates and 108 of sugars. The average amount of sugar in one calzone is greater than the amount of sugar present in two cans of Mountain Dew.
