Pizza Overview and Healthy Strategies for Enjoying

Originating in Naples, nowadays, pizza is one of the most celebrated foods around the world. There are constantly new methods becoming available and creative combinations being put together. Whether you prefer vegetable toppings, meat or just plain cheese, when it comes to pizza, there’s something for everyone. The type of pizza you choose, the topping and even the brand can all make a difference in the nutritional content and overall calorie count of any pizza.

So, what are some healthy tips and tricks to help you enjoy your pizza to the fullest? Portion control is a big one. Try ordering a personal-sized pizza or sticking to one slice and adding a salad or some vegetables on the side. Making a homemade pizza and opting for lots of veggie toppings is also a great way to save some calories. If you make the pieces yourself, you have better control over the ingredients. A whole wheat, whole grain or even cauliflower crust are all great options. Avoiding high-calorie toppings, such as pepperoni, Alfredo sauce, sausage, or extra cheese, can also be helpful. What are some healthy ways you’ll be enjoying your next pizza night?
