Jokes aside, pizza really is a pretty healthy complete meal. As with all things, moderation is the most important factor.
Ahh moderation, my arch nemesis.
Everybody needs a goal to aim for, so I make sure to keep well away from reaching it so as not to lose it as a goal.
It’s just bread, it technically has other stuff but in insignificant amounts, it is literally cheese bread.
Lots of saturated fat on the cheese.
Beyond that with tin crust, homemade pizza tomato sauce (which is delish, by the way) and properly chosen and generously added toppings (avoid processed meats, especially with too much salt, and make the toppings be more by weight than everything else), it can be pretty healthy.
My homemade pizzas are always a mountain of toppings. I usually go with bell peppers, mushrooms, fresh onions cut in rings, and (un)canned tuna. Sometimes artichoke if I come by it, and/or olives if I have em around. Finish with mozzarella… now I’m hungry :(
Moderation is the issue with pizza, at least for me.
I’ve been making pizza and pasta from scratch. It’s basically the exact same ingredients:
- flour
- tomatoes
- cheese
But when I’m making pizza I know that I can almost double the amount of flour because we are eating way more pizza than pasta.
Is it? I doubt there are many fibers in there. Unless you count the tomato sauce it doesn’t really contain a lot of vegetables either. I’d be really surprised if tomato sauce on the average pizza is healthy, it’s probably so over processed that all the fibers and vitamins etc are gone and it’s just a big carb nuke. And a pizza contains too much fat as well. A good pizza might be decent compared to most fast food, but I can’t imagine the average fastfood or supermarket pizza being a healthy meal.
I don’t believe that’s organic or whole wheat.
By ‘aged’ they mean left sitting on the counter overnight.
Cheese is aged by default, and as long as there’s some real milk in it, its somewhat organic.
Organic in the chemical sense of carbon based…
Well, fresh mozzarella not so aged. At all really.
If it’s more than a week old, it’s aged.
That’s the best age for pizza!
Also, cheese is not aged milk.
It contains at least one whole wheat.

It’s not inorganic… seems pretty organic to me.
That’s nothing. You should try my pureed nut spread with grape relish reduction paired with brioche bun.
I just had one about 20 minutes ago. 10/10
In the same spirit: “I’m a 2nd degree vegetarian because I only eat meat from herbivores”
it makes sense though
