| Description & Review |
The bread base of the pizza (called the "crust" in the United States and Canada) may vary widely according to style: thin as in hand-tossed pizza or Roman pizza, thick as in pan pizza, or very thick as in deep dish |
Whether pizza is healthy or not is really determined by the quality of ingredients used and the choice of cheese – full fat or skim milk. Most pizzas are high in saturated fat, salt, and calories. |
According to the Mario Negri Institute for Pharmaceutical Research in Milan, researchers claimed that eating pizza regularly – at least once a week - reduced the risk of developing oesophageal cancer |
Garlic – used to season most pizza sauces or as a topping – is an excellent source of selenium, manganese, vitamin B6, vitamin C and powerful sulfur-containing compounds, including thiosulfinates, sulfoxides |
Basil - used to season most pizza sauces – is high in vitamin K, flavonoids and essential oils |
