While pizza really can't be a staple part of a healthy diet, you can make healthier pizzas that are lower in fat, higher in fiber and actually offer some good nutrition by choosing whole grain crusts and lots of vegetables.

I think there are a few healthy pizza makers out there. One that I know of are those fund raising pizza kits by Joe Corbi’s, they have wheat pizza options and they say that their ingredients are healthy.
I love pizza!Always looking for healthy pizza alternatives…nice post! Thanks!
Let’s get serious…pizza is not a healthy food option. Considering the abundance of wheat, dairy, and possibly processed meat, it should be considered as a treat. It’s my personal weakness but I definitely don’t deem it a healthy food choice.
