Ways to make pizza night just a little bit healthier:

- go gluten-free by making an almond flour or other gf all-purpose flour crust
- be mindful of portions
- make a thin crust pizza to keep the carbs lower

- choose leaner cuts of meat

🍅 Recipe tips
I wholeheartedly believe that good quality ingredients make for the best recipes! I don’t recommend any fake or overly processed ingredients and will usually recommend organic / non-gmo ingredients whenever possible.
Sourcing good quality ingredients can be difficult sometimes. Did you know that most of the olive oil in grocery stores aren’t truly authentic? Or that most seafood is farmed and sourced from China? These are just a couple of examples of confusing product labels.
How do we find the BEST ingredients? If you’re like me, then sourcing clean ingredients is important to you! So, I’ve created a favorite shop page with all of my recommendations. Here you can find all of the best places to source good quality ingredients!
And while you’re making pizza night at home, try this authentic pizza dough that my great-grandmother from Sicily taught me before she passed. It’ll make one large sheet pan or two round pizzas.

FAQ (frequently asked questions)
I would say that this would vary depending on what your health needs are. We choose a whole real food ingredients for our way of eating. Choosing a whole wheat or ancient grains crust like einkorn or even sourdough is a great option. You could also go with a thin crust, gluten-free, or even keto and vegan. There’s so many options! Also load up on plenty of fresh veggies!
Hands down, this would be my recommendation vs frozen pizza or ordering delivery. You will have better control of the ingredients and can select the best healthiest ingredients.
