The world of pizza as we know is a non-stop merry-go-round! The continuous whirlwind ride of pizza includes the highs and lows of frozen, delivery, take-out, bake at home, gourmet pizza, commercial pizza, and pizza parties! Pizza is a food that hits a soft spot with all types of people of all ages across the world.
The question becomes how does one stop the fast merry-go round of pizza rounds and into a slower smoother ride of healthy ingredients for the mind and body. The answer is easy, and it's "simple ingredients!" Pizza truly can be healthy for everyone and easy to digest if you avoid refined flours, processed meats, excessive cheese, high amounts of salt, and complex ingredients. “A typical slice from 14 inches of regular-crusted cheese pizza contains between 250 and 350 calories and 10 and 17 grams of fat. Add pepperoni, sausage and cheese-stuffed crust and increase your calorie and fat intake to almost 500 calories per slice with 26 grams of fat. “Gourmet” pizza restaurants that offer smaller, individual pizzas do not fare much better with pizzas that contain between 1,400 and 1,700 calories and 30 grams of fat each. Therefore eating too many calories can cause weight gain. The high fat content in these pizzas comes largely from saturated fats, too much of which can raise your risk of developing heart disease”
