    Just be sensible about portion and toppings. I tend to stick to bacon and pineapple or chicken and spinach on Domino's pizza --they have a surprisingly useful calorie and nutritional calculator on the website. Dr. Oetker's line of thin crust pizzas are my go to for frozen pizzas...a decent serving for about 250-300 calories.

    Thanks for this tip! I have never tried Dr. Oetker pizza, but they sell it at my local Market Street, so I'm going to go pick one up for tonight to try it out. :smiley:

    It's pizza night every Friday at our house ... I eat the local pizza place, Gionino's / slice of pepperoni pizza on a large pizza is 298 calories. I eat my pizza very slow and if I'm still hungry I'll cut another slice in 1/2 and have that too! Like everyone said, maybe I'm not dropping weight like some, but I am losing, feel better and still enjoying food that I love!

    The whole point of counting calories is that you can make room for any food you love while still eating a well-rounded diet.

    ^ This. I love pizza, it's gotta be good pizza though. Sometimes I'll bike ride extra miles for a few extra slices, yum! Yeah, all this pizza talk is making me want some. :smiley:

    I am fine to eat pizza if I am by myself and buy one slice. Whenever I am with my family and we have a whole pizza I can't stop eating it. For this reason I dont really have pizza a lot but then again I buy pizza from the weight loss company that I buy food from so I can always have that if I want pizza but don't want to go all out.

    I know there was a thread in another forum about healthy pizza alternatives - but how bad is the real thing? I looked it up in the food database and a generic slice of pizza is around 200 - 300 calories. I looooove pizza. As long as I plan for it, it's not that bad- right?

    It's protein, carbs, and fat...that's it. Pizza gets a bad rap namely because people don't eat a slice or two...they eat a whole *kitten* pie and that's going to add up to a lot of calories.

    If I'm having pizza, I'm having pizza...and it's going to be from my favorite local pizzeria...not some sham diet pizza made with cauliflower.

    Friday night is usually pizza night at my house...my wife and I share a small and usually have a couple of slices left over. It's a pretty fun tradition...I pick up the kids from school...as I leave the office I call the order in...our pizzeria is right on the way home from school so I just pop in and pick it up...get home and throw on a movie and we all eat pizza and watch the movie.

    My husband and I will go out to eat proper hand tossed pizza about once a month. The one I get is almost 1300 calories and I eat the lot.

    I just make it fit my calories by the end of the week.

    If i want something, i make it fit into my calories for the day. I eat some ice cream almost every single day! I think i'm going for pizza for dinner. All this talk is making me hungry!

    The calorie count of pizza can vary greatly due to thickness of the crust, size of the pizza, toppings. Just your basic thin crust, sauce and cheese is going to be much less than a thick crust with sausage and pepperoni and extra cheese, for example.

    If it fits in your calories go for it. I have pizza all the time and I'm down 90+ lbs. I ate pizza while I lost, and I still eat it a couple of times a month while I'm in maintenance.

    I allow two slices on a Friday, I enjoy it so much that I am even willing to work harder on Thursday and Saturday just so I can enjoy my Friday pizza completely guilt free! :p

    there are no bad foods...only bad habits. I am eating low carb and i love pizza. I dont have it often and only a slice, then i pick the toppings off of other slices lol
