Flatbread Pizzas

Roberta's in Brooklyn made the bee sting pizza famous, hot chilli and honey over cured pork, and this flatbread takes the idea and adds more meat to it.

Italian sausage, pepperoni, bacon and Calabrian chiles go on with mozzarella, vodka sauce and parmesan. Honey finishes it. The sweetness is what makes three salty meats work together.

1,170 calories, tied with the Pepperoni for the heaviest flatbread. 3,280 mg of sodium.

The adult Cheese Flatbread and the Kids' Cheese Flatbread have identical published figures. 1,000 calories and 2,530 mg of sodium, each.

Either the portions are the same or the data repeats itself, and I can't tell you which, but if you're ordering for a child it's worth knowing the kids' version isn't a smaller meal on paper.

Mozzarella, fontina and parmesan over tomato sauce, no toppings. Vegetarian. 49 grams of protein.

It's the Margherita with more cheese. Fontina and parmesan join the mozzarella, and that adds 90 calories and 530 mg of sodium.

Fontina comes from the Aosta Valley in the Italian Alps, a mountain cheese that melts smooth and tastes faintly of nuts, and parmesan brings the salt, which is why this lands at 2,300 mg where the Margherita sits at 1,770.

84 grams of carbohydrate, the fewest of the seven flatbreads. Vegetarian. I'd order it over the Margherita for the fontina alone.

Sam Panopoulos, a Greek immigrant running a restaurant in Chatham, Ontario, put pineapple on a pizza in 1962, so the Hawaiian is Canadian, and people have argued about it ever since.

This version is sold at the Hawaii restaurants. Canadian bacon, ham, fresh pineapple and red onion go over red pizza sauce and mozzarella. 960 calories.

54 grams of protein and 2,870 mg of sodium. I'm on the pineapple side of the argument.

65 grams of protein, the most of the seven flatbreads. It's one of the Hawaii-only items.

Kalua pork is traditionally cooked whole in an imu, an underground oven lined with hot stones and banana leaves, until it shreds, and here it goes on the flatbread with red onion, red bell pepper, pineapple and mozzarella and no tomato sauce.

1,100 calories. 2,490 mg of sodium. If you're in Honolulu, order this over the Hawaiian.

Of the seven flatbreads, this one is lightest on calories, fat and sodium alike, with 760 calories, 30 grams of fat and 1,770 mg of salt.

Fresh mozzarella, basil and tomato sauce. The popular story says a Naples pizzaiolo named Raffaele Esposito made it in 1889 for Queen Margherita, in the colours of the Italian flag. Historians doubt the details.

34 grams of protein. Vegetarian.

The adult Pepperoni Flatbread is 1,170 calories. The Kids' Pepperoni Flatbread is 990.

That's only 180 calories apart, so the children's version isn't much of a smaller meal, and the salt gap is 710 mg, with this one at 3,430, the saltiest of the seven flatbreads.

Pepperoni is an Italian-American invention, first recorded in New York around 1919. It curls into cups as it cooks because the casing shrinks faster than the meat. 66 grams of fat.
