PIZZA: A HEALTH FOOD!
The question on whether pizza is a junk or health food is a serious debate. Everything depends on what kind of pizza you are going to eat. Commercial pizzas bought from a fast food chain or frozen at a supermarket usually contain high amount of refined carbohydrates, fat and sodium. That’s why pizza is commonly considered junk food in the USA. But in the majority of Italy pizza is an artisanal product, made in the right way and with simple, fresh good ingredients and is considered part of the Mediterranean diet.
If using fresh, genuine and quality ingredients, pizza can be a healthy, nutritious meal, also suitable for those who follow a slimming regime. Eat pizza once a week does is good and can be considered a complete meal if accompanied by a serving of vegetables to help the supply of minerals and vitamins. On average a margherita pizza, or vegetarian, brings about 800 Kcal, the marinara (without mozzarella) only 600 Kcal. The higher you go with the seasonings, adding ham, or sausage or cheese, the greater the calories.
