Healthy Pizza Recipes

Healthy food or eating can be such relative terms. We don’t generally follow fad diets, but instead choose to eat real whole food ingredients. So, these recipes that we’ve compiled don’t include anything heavily processed and are super simple to make… but still satisfy those pizza cravings!

Ways to make pizza night just a little bit healthier:

  • pair the pizza with a healthy side dish
  • make your own homemade pizza dough
  • use a whole wheat crust (we also like to use ancient wheat like einkorn often) or other whole grain
  • load up on veggies…a veggie pizza is one of our favorites!
  • 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
  • avoid jarred sauces and make a homemade pizza sauce
  • add protein – chicken, shrimp, lean steak, ground turkey
  • 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.
