Simple solution. List the calories of a slice of plain pizza and then the calories of each of the possible toppings. Customers can do their own math.

Your "simplicity" misses a golden opportunity to enjoy the benefits of a liberal/RINO corporatist economy. First, the large pizza companies should band together to push for even more onerous regulations. While it will cost them, it will cost their smaller competitors even more, due to the economies of scale. Over time, they can increase the regulatory requirements, thus creating barriers to entry that are impossible to overcome. Having done that, they can begin the process of predatory pricing and, if all goes well, targeted tax relief and subsidies.

The net result: massive profits for the remaining pizza companies. Full employment in NOVA, due to the large scale lobbying effort. Tremendous windfalls for cooperative politicians. And, the NY Times can wax eloquently about how children were saved in the process, as the evil pizza barons were brought to heel, all in the name of science (but as the result of pseudo-science, but who cares?).

The only losers will be the middle-class pizza consumers, who see less choice, and higher prices. Which, from the vantage point of NYC and DC, makes it a winner all around.

This is exactly what happened with the brewing industry in Florida. There was a regulation requiring all beer sales to be done through a distributor, but with an exemption for sales done on-site (to allow people on brewery tours to buy beers on their visit).

The big brewery companies donated $$$s to Jeb Bush to get him to remove this exemption. It hurts the big companies a little, but it does far more damage to the small craft-brewers because a greater share of their income came from these on-site sales.

As you say, this was big companies ganging up, buying politicians and then using government regulation to shaft the small businesses trying to compete with them. Big part of the reason I was so glad to see Jeb Bush fail - no true Republican should be supporting government regulation that interferes with the free market and hurts small businesses.
