Pizza lies in mostly each of the food groups in the food pyramid. People might think it's an unhealthy choice but I disagree. If you think about it, there are many toppings that makes pizza, PIZZA. Grains are in the bread, while toppings contain dairy products such as cheese. Some toppings include vegetables and meat. Last but not least, the tomatoe sauce is a part of the fruit group.
Try a healthier pizza by replacing the white bread with a whole-grain wheat bread. Low fat cheese would be a much better choice than regular white cheese. Think about the toppings before you decide to make a pizza. Try to skip the pepporoni and saugage toppings but add a lean, low-fat chicken breast instead. For a more healthier pizza, you can add Vegetable and fruit toppings such as Onions and pinapples.
Making a side dish along with the pizza can be healthier because you won't eat as much. Try making a bowl of salad or mashed-potatoes, it goes along well with the dish.
This proves my opinion of how I think pizza can be a healthy food for all of us!
