Honestly, Frozen Pizza Is Pretty Damn Healthy These Days

Unless you cover your pie with vegetables (and, honestly, who does that...), healthy pizza doesn't really seem like a thing that exists. I mean, usually it's pretty much just a giant circle of bread covered in cheese and greasy processed meat—and frozen pizzas are no exception.

“Frozen pizza, in particular, tends to be high in refined carbs, fat, sodium, and sometimes tons of additives and preservatives,” says Lauren Harris-Pincus, RDN, dietitian and author of The Protein-Packed Breakfast Club.

Of course, a little bit of pizza every once in a while is not going to make or break a healthy lifestyle. However, some options (especially when it comes to the frozen stuff) are better than others. Some frozen pizzas can actually make for a pretty balanced meal (gasp!).

First, find a pie that's free of artificial additives and provides you with some vegetables, suggests dietitian Kelly Jones, RD. Up your veggie intake further by adding more to your pie, or eating a salad or side of the good stuff alongside your slices.

Also, make sure you've got a good source of protein either on the pie or on the side to limit your chances of overeating, Jones says.
