Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores cheese pizza at a serving of 1 small slice (~60g) of thin sourdough or gluten-free base, no garlic, no onion; at 1 regular slice or more of wheat-crust pizza it belongs in the high band. A source quoting the larger serve will call it high, and one quoting the smaller will call it low — the same food, measured at two different amounts.
