Are you suggesting NJ has real pizza? I would sooner recognize NJ as a real place worth living before I'd admit that theres a real pizza available in NJ...

AntWrig · May 2013

Don't eat anything else. Problem solved.

trudijoy · May 2013

as a teen i worked for a large, multinational pizza chain. there are four pumps of oil in each PAN. that's half of why it's so calorific.

But i don't regard those pizzas as pizzas. A proper pizza with real meat and cheese and veg isn't too too bad, if you restrict portion and maybe have a salad.

This is a joke, right?

taunto · May 2013

No... I thought this thread was a joke but then you brought in NJ suggesting that theres real pizza in NJ and now I just don't know what to think of this thread anymore.

gonnamakeanewaccount · May 2013

NJ and NY are known for their pizza.

Pretty sure someone shouldn't be eating an entire medium pizza themselves, anyhow.

I made a pizza at work tonight (at a sandwich shop) using a flatbread, light marinara sauce, cheese, roast beef, and a ton of chopped up veggies. It was amazing, and under 300 calories.

caly_man · May 2013

lady, you totally rock.

i have pizza several times a month and its always from the local mom/pop places, so damn good.

i think i would it eat it more often if i knew how to log it accurately. normally, 3 slices does the trick for me. I like it with regular crust, lots of veggies, and 1 meat topping.

i'd make it myself, but there's no way i'll leave it as good as the one i buy.

im in florida and theres a lot of people here from new jersey and new york that open up italian restaurants here and it is REAL pizza. its not like pizza hut or dominos or processed crap. its fresh dough, real cheese, veggies, sauce made of tomatoes and simple ingredients. its not something that they keep in a freezer and heat up they actually make everything that goes into it. its a lot healthier than any frozen health food that you buy at the store thinking its healthy when its full of sodium and preservatives. yeah if you eat a whole pizza to yourself with extra cheese, sausage and pepporni then its not good for you anymore but 1-2 slices of just normal cheese pizza or veggie pizza is fine, i eat pizza every weekend with my boyfriend.. REAL PIZZA ISNT BAD FOR YOU! next time you try to tell an italian that pizzas bad for you, get ready to sleep with the fishes ; )

meshashesha2012 · May 2013

i used to think that pizza wasnt a bad food until i moved to the bay area.

the pizza here sucks! i miss NYC pizza. :sad:

and umm yeah NY and NJ are known for their pizza. the italian immigrants who brought their pizza settled in both NYC, NJ and connecticut to some extent.

taunto · May 2013

No no. NY is known for their pizza. NJ is still questioned upon why its still a place. I mean... we'll never forgive you guys for Jersey shore

gonnamakeanewaccount · May 2013

Well, according to myself and a few other posters here NY and NJ are known for great pizza. Take it or leave it.

taunto · May 2013

Nobody should take anything from NJ. Last time we tried taking something from NJ, Snooki happened...

Pearlyladybug · May 2013

Yip!
Gluten is only bad for people who are sensitive.

gonnamakeanewaccount · May 2013

LOL. Maybe I'm being too cynical. Snooki truly is a joke.

ngressman · May 2013

lol

PrettyPearl88 · May 2013

I agree. Not all pizza is the same. You can make your own healthy, small, personal-sized pizza at home with low-calorie and low-fat ingredients and fit it in your day EASILY.

I personally LOVE pizza and refuse to totally give it up. I rarely eat pizza out though, because that tends to be much higher in calories. But homemade pizza that I can control?! TOTALLY! :bigsmile:

Peanutbutterx · May 2013

FYI snooki isnt even from new jersey shes from california. i dont even think anyone from jersey shore is actually from new jersey maybe one or two of them. its not jersey thats bad, its t.v. thats bad..

Never trust a pizza I tell you this...

kitza101 · May 2013

There's a certain country who seemed to do pretty well with pizza for a long time - until companies in certain other countries took the idea and ran with it, turning it into a rather calorific oil-fest that some people mistakenly believe is still "pizza".

Pizza is fine. I make my own pizza dough and use my own toppings, and can make a delicious pizza with great toppings for 500-700 calories, and with a reasonable amount of sodium.

Here's a clue - if you are stuffing the crust with cheese or hot dogs, adding other items that are considered "fast food" onto it, or using so much cheese that you can't see the other ingredients in the topping any more, etc, then it is not a real pizza anymore.

And what's the deal with this argument that eating pizza "slows down" your weight loss? I think each of us get the right to decide what speed our weight loss goes at! If eating pizza and other foods that are considered "unhealthy" in moderation, within your daily calorie intake, works for you - who's to say you should be eating differently to lose weight faster? When I decided to lose weight, I wanted to create a healthier and more balanced lifestyle in general, one that I could maintain for the rest of my life - I wasn't looking to win the award for the fastest weight loss.

If you want to eat pizza, eat it, but as with all other foods be mindful of what is in YOUR pizza and how it works in with your plans. If you don't want to eat pizza, don't eat it. That simple.

This thread has all kinds of LOLz

Justjamie0418 · May 2013

I like chicago style pizza mmmmmmmmm

I miss Chicago

gonnamakeanewaccount · May 2013

Thank you.

kbeech06 · May 2013

We love pizza...but we make our own. I use whole meal flour, a bit of sauce, I can control the amount of cheese, and then we load it up with veggies...or shredded chicken that I've cooked ahead of time. Frozen pizza, and pizza parlor food I try to stay away from...so yummy, but so bad calorie and sodium wise. Pizza is my favorite food and I don't think I could live without it.

proudmommy1003 · May 2013

This post made me hungry I will have one slice of the new cheesy pizza from pizza hut that my husband ordered for dinner :-)

shaneNSW · May 2013

How about a pizza stuffed with hot dogs that are stuffed with pizza...

kitza101 · May 2013

That would be incredible. I would pay to see that!

timberowl · May 2013

There are these new gluten free pizzas in the freezer aisle that are about the size of a small from most chains, and 600 cals for the whole pizza. Not bad.

invisibubble · May 2013

? Even chain pizzas aren't that bad if you don't eat more than what is considered a normal portion. Most personal pizzas from chains are four slices, more than ample for a hungry person, and usually around 600-800 calories. That doesn't win any health awards, but nobody's saying eat it every day. :huh:

Pizza is not a "bad" food.
