Presuming that the 14" pizza in question is the same thickness as the 6" pizza described, the calorie content of the larger would be proportional to the ratio of the area of the larger to the smaller.

Area of a 6" pizza =

, area of a 14" pizza =

Ratio of the areas:

Total caloric content of the 14" pizza:

Presuming that the 14" pizza was cut into eight precisely equal sized slices (a feat accomplished by NO pizza restaurant EVER) the caloric content of one slice would be the above calculated total divided by 8.

You can do your own arithmetic.
