    right ..one medium pizza from Domino's is like 2000 calories...that is some peoples intake for a day ...

    if you make it yourself then that is different ..

    but to go pizza has an insane amount of calories in it...

    I couldn't even get past this post to read the rest of the thread...

    OP never said anything about eating an ENTIRE pizza, nor did they say anything about "fast food" pizza which is what Dominos is. So good job for completely missing the point, or just being a troll.

    I LOVE pizza and I make homemade pizza almost once a week, I even get fast food pizza on occasion, and I've lost 70 lbs doing it. So pshaw to anyone who says pizza isn't "diet food".

    Lol, thank you for pointing this out. Who looks at the nutritional info for an entire pizza and avoids it because it's 2000 calories?

    I make my own pizza using either whole wheat flour, almond flour or a weird cheese/flax seed combo. Then put cheese, meat and veggies on it. And it's the bomb. And I have never gone over my calories since I made this "lifestyle change"

    I have never had a "slice" of pizza.
    Maybe those NY style giant slice that are bigger than your head...

    (Most of our pizza places suck so pizza is not generally my personal vice. If I lived in NYC it would be a different story.)

    This forum really needs to change its quote function. A quote should only quote the immediate previous post you are responding to, not the last 5. It's a mess.


    ^this


    (...heh heh....here we go!)


    Sounds like something for the technical support forum.


    Agreed, that's better suited to the Help section than this thread.



    I like the blue boxes though, they really draw the eye.

    QFT


    I like the elegant pin-stripe effect on the sides. Tres chic and slimming, too.





    Ok, so maybe I went overboard this time.

    Anyone else seeing a topographical pyramid being created?

    I think the inner box is there to represent the appx. size of pizza that comprises the "single serving" you should be eating!

    In for the quotes.

    someone say quotes?
    Me gusta.

    No food is bad for you if you eat it in moderation

    I have owned a Pizza Restaurant for 18 years. I eat pizza! The crust is the biggest culprit so I just roll it out very thin so I don't use as much dough. The sauce has basically no calories (25 on a 7" pizza). I use vegetables and if I want meat, we use a 95% Fat Free Deli Ham that we shave very thin so I just put a few little pieces on for taste then a little cheese (we use part skim, real mozzarella. You can eat a 7" pizza for 350 calories or less (depending on toppings you choose) which isn't bad if that's your meal. Go to your hometown, Mom and Pop shops. We work harder to please our customers and make it the way they want it! We have a lot of people that will say "Roll very thin and double dock" or "Go very, very light on the cheese" and we fix it the way they ask. That's the best part of supporting the small guy instead of the "Chains".
    I love this!

    I'm sick and tired of hearing everyone on here and IRL say that pizza is unhealthy. Pizza is a source of carbohydrates, calcium, protein, and veggies (especially if you top it with them). As long as you aren't ordering a bunch of unhealthy toppings like pepperoni, it's actually quite healthy. So next time you think to yourself, "Oh, I can't have that," think again. Granted there are better choices out there, but pizza is definitely not the worst.

    In honor of this thread I ate an entire large pepperoni pizza for lunch today along with 32oz of diet soda and some broccoli.

    Pizza is a bad food choice if you are trying to lose weight, compared to healthier food choices.

    Only if you don't believe in portion control.

    In for the pizza party.

    Hm, I certainly haven't heard "everyone" saying pizza is unhealthy ~ in fact seems to me very many agree with your point. I know I do, I love an occasional pizza and don't feel I can't have it.

    I'm wondering where you go this impression?

    I don't have trouble fitting pizza into my life...even cheap crappy pizza.

    For frozen I buy DiGiorno pizzeria! pepperoni pizza. I eat 1/4 a pizza at 340 calories and if I am still hungry I have a side salad with light italian or vinaigrette. Is it nutritious? Well no, has lots of sodium and fat. I am always well under fat for macros for whatever reason so I certainly don't feel bad about the 14 grams of fat/

    For cheap delivery I do Papa John's. Veggie pizza: 2 slices of a medium pizza is 400 calories and plenty for me.

    And yes on a special occasion I will go to a special pizza place and eat a caloric amount I prefer not to even know. i just eat well to compensate and watch the scale.

    I like pizza in my life. It's just about moderation
