I'm sure you don't use anywhere near that amount, Barbara. My recipe makes
1 15-inch pizza. I put 2 tablespoons of oil in the dough and perhaps 3
tablespoons in the pan before adding the dough.

Below is the nutritional analysis for 1 Pizza Hut Personal Pan Pizza,
including sauce, cheese, and a modicum of toppings. Out of curiosity, I
had to take it one step further and calculate the Weight Watchers Points
based on those figures. It comes to 49.5 points, at least two days worth
of points for most people on Weight Watchers. Looking at the following
figures makes it look like Death by Pizza.
