Question by Shiroi Adachi: Pizza… a healthy meal?
My father has our family on an all healthy food diet plan. Only on the weekends are we allowed to eat whatever. I was wondering though, shouldnt pizza be considered a healthy meal?
I mean it contains ingredients from different food groups, like bread, meat, cheese, and tomato sauce.(and if you like fruit then pineapple or something) Also its baked! SO correct me if i am wrong, do you think pizza is a good choice as a healthy meal?

Delivery or frozen pizza is for sure NOT a healthy meal so don’t try and win that specific argument.
BUT making your own pizza is a completely different story.
First off, making your own pizza lets you control the amount of fat and sodium in the meal and lets you use ingredients with less fat, like 2% cheese.
So go to the store and look for pizza crusts in white or whole wheat… I LOVE them. You can get different brands and types of crusts etc.
Get the sauce and just check the label and make sure its not a highly processed or high sodium/calorie content. Though I am not saying look for “diet” ingredients, just some things you can buy are HEALTHIER than others.
Then get cheese, look for cheese with less fat! It all tastes the same once melted and you can put on as much as you want.
Then its whatever you can dream of for the toppings. Pepperoni, sausage, chicken, olives, peppers, pineapple or anything you want! Here you can control how healthy it is with what you choose to top it with.
Then look at the detailed directions on the pizza crust box/bag and cook however.
I love to dip mine in hot sauce.
Oh and I need to make sure you notice how much cheeper this is, too.
