Of course.

Absolutely - although you might experience a small "gain" of water weight if it's high in sodium, but that'll soon come off again. As long as you stick to your calorie goal you'll lose over time, but it may not always be consistent.
(And you can eat whatever you want, really, but realistically you want to make choices that are good for nutrition and satiety. In other words, don't eat pizza ALL the time, enjoy it in moderation!

I occasionally make my own pizza out of flaxseed/oat pita, home made fat free no sugar added pasta sauce, rice cheese, and 98% lean ground beef. It's guilt free.

That looks incredibly sad...38 -
Of course. It's meat, cheese, vegetables and bread. There's nothing magical in pizza which will make you not lose weight if you are under your calories.9

Yes you can but I thought pizza made you feel sick. (According to your other post)
Anyway, I have pizza every Friday (sometimes brownies too) and I am losing. Down 50lbs since the first of the year.6 -

I agree. Sounds taste-free.

I would feel guilty about not having real cheese...
(Glad you found something that works for you, though! I like to make little pizzas out of tortillas, salsa, pepperoni, cheese and veggies, although if I can get a real pizza it's great! ) 6 -

I would use some spinach, onions, garlic and use feta cheese and diced chicken breast for my pizza with a low fat ranch dressing, all on pita5 -
I eat all the pizza and it never stops me hitting my goal4

I avoid some of the more 'creative' toppings my favorite pizza place offers, like battered-breaded cauliflower, mac-n-cheese, or french fries (I'm not kidding and they are quite good), but sure.0

Thinking can be good. I love MFP because it made me realize logical thinking applies to food, eating, health and weight too. You can do anything you want. Everything isn't a good idea just because you can do it. What is pizza? What does "fit" mean?5

the first time someone told me you could get a pizza with Canadian Bacon and Saurkraut, I thought they'd lost their mind. But OMG, do I miss those pizzas now....0 -
Yes, I do sometimes. 2-3 slices of pizza are pretty reasonable and is no different than eating a cheese and tomato sandwich. It's just that there is this stigma around pizza because people tend to associate it with fat people. Pizza in itself is not any better or worse than anything else with a similar nutritional profile.
Personally, I like a pizza margherita better than a pepperoni pizza, and thin crust better than regular crust, so it works to my benefit that I can eat more pizza and still be within calories. I consider myself lucky in that regard. A whole 8 inch thin crust cheese pizza is pretty within acceptable calories for me but I find myself okay eating half, which is surprising for the calories but I'm not complaining.
It depends on how it goes for you. Does eating two slices satisfy that desire for pizza or make you more anxious because you can't have more? If it's the latter, consider a different form of moderation: you could bank calories and eat a larger serving but less often.7 -
Calories are calories no matter where they come from3

Don't be hating on pizza. It covers all the major food groups.6

Yes. You can eat the whole pizza if it fits your calories and still lose weight.8
