Pizza is popular with kids, but is it a healthy food? Although it can be nutritious and cover all four food groups, it can also be high in fat and sodium. Three slices of cheese and pepperoni pizza can have as much fat and calories as a double patty hamburger.
Healthy strategies:
- Try a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese
- Top pizza with chicken or ham
- Go vegetarian! Experiment with red onions, fresh or sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms, zucchini, and roasted red peppers.
- Avoid double cheese
- Avoid sausage, pepperoni, bacon and ground meat
- Avoid stuffed crusts and multi-meat pizzas
Sharing a pizza with friends and family is s fun pastime. Whether you eat at a pizzeria, cook a frozen pizza at home or make your own, pizza can be a healthy food!
There's a new list out detailing some the healthiest foods, and it includes a dish not usually associated with good health.
According to CBS 2 News, pizza made the list. The key to its health benefits is apparently in the ingredients. Recent studies show pizza, with the right toppings, combines half of the top 10 healthiest foods.
The crust contains whole grains. People who eat a lot of whole grains have 15 percent lower death rates, said the television station.
And the sauce is made from tomatoes, which contain anti-cancer chemicals called lycopenes. Finally, spinach, garlic and olive oil on top are good for your heart and brain.
No bad for an all-around American favorite.

I love pizza and usually prefer one with lots of toppings, but the best pizza I ever had was a simple cheese pizza I got in Naples, Italy when I was in the Navy 37 years ago. They call cheese pizza a Pizza Margarita in Europe, and it was the greatest. Hmmm...wouldn't mind one right now.
