pizza: Ive heard that its the only food that contains all 5 food groups, therefore does it make it fairly good for you? (Proper italian ones - not fast food ones like pizza hut or dominos) Approximately how many calories does a proper italian pizza have from a restaurant eg Pizza Express or Ask. Are they a bad choice?|||Pizza is an excellent healthy choice in small amounts. One piece is calorie rich, but is pretty balanced nutrient-wise. One slice of "real" pizza, you know they are good-sized pieces at Italian spots, and a salad is great meal, healthy meal.|||depends how much cheese you have on it|||Covered in cheese... not good for you. By all means eat a pizza occasionally, but don't treat it as an everyday good food. I've lost 5 stone living by this rule.|||Pizza isn't bad and its not good for you either. But if you decide to eat it everyday then it would become bad for you as you would be consuming too much fat. Like anything its good in moderation. Stick to having one once a month or every other month or make your own then you will know exactly what is on it and it will probably taste a lot better|||Pizza is good for you .. but watch out for the ones made in Muslim Kebab shops ...|||very bad but it is a top bit of grub|||Thin crust pizza with veggies is actually healthy. Thicker crust loaded with pepperoni, sausage, extra cheese is a real killer and hard on the arteries. I personally enjoy Chicago Deep Dish style but am aware that it has way to many calories, fat etc but it is darn good.|||Too much of anything is bad for you, pizza as you said has all five food groups depending on the toppings. Variety is indeed the spice of life. This goes for any pizza although if a pizza is made without due attention to hygiene, e-coli and salmonella is not good for you. Beware food poisoning.|||I suppose if you're piling it up with veg then it's good? Maybe not the 5 a day though|||I don't care if it's good or bad. I love it!|||Does it matter whats good or supposed to be bad for you ! If doctors and the press ect had there way we would all drink fresh spring water and eat nothing but fruit and veg ! Life is to short ! eat , drink what you like and be happy.|||generally, if you use healthy ingredients like vegs, meat cooked in good oil and etc, you can make a really healthy pizza. i think it's healthy if you make it properly.:) like a taco! you should try whiping some on your own i'm sure there are alot of healthy pizzas online. :)|||It's the cheese and the salted cured meats like pepperoni and doner meat that are bad for you. In any case, every doctor on the planet will tell you that you can have anything in moderation, meaning, if you eat it occasionally then your okay, just not everyday. A veggie pizza is a good choice, and if you use say chicken, or mince you cooked yourself then it is better for you. If you want to know calories and fat go to www.calorieking.com, or www.thedailyplate.com|||i don't know all i know is they taste good at the time. a little bit of what you fancy does not harm. lol|||Depends on who you throw it at|||The igredients are good for you , ie meats , veg etc but the grease of the cheese makes it very fattening , it depends on the type of base too , i make my own and always use nalm bread. i would say use less cheese / mozzerella and always soak up as much grease as possible|||I WAS ON A DIET RECENTLY AND YOU COULD HAVE 10 MANY 'SYNS' PER DAY-IN OTHER WORDS, TREATS! AND PIZZAS WERE THE WORST THING IN MY SYNS BOOK SOME OV THEM WERE ABOUT 160 SYNS SO I COULD ONLY EVER HAVE 1 SLICE WHICH WAS TORTURE AS MY BFRIENDS ALWAYS STUFFIN HIS FACE WIV THEM! THIS WAS THE ONE THING I MISSED MOST! BUT I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THEYRE SO UNHEALTHY!!YOUVE MADE ME WANT ONE NOW!!!!!!|||It is very good and good for you... they take out the calories for me at the Italian restaurant I go to... no charge either (smiles) Sew
