I am hosting a group of folks at my house for dinner tonight, and need to order pizza. Any recommendations on the healthiest delivery or pick-up option? I am ordering three pizzas, and figure i'll get one veggie/healthy one that i'll eat, and two unhealthy for the other peeps. Usually I would just go with Papa Murphy's, but I need something that's already cooked tonight.

Thanks for your time!

    Depends where you order from - but I would stick with the thinnest crust possible and no white sauces. Chicken is a good meat but pretty much all others are total fat and grease. Good luck!

    go for a thin multigrain crust, it will lower the calories significantly. I dont know where you live but i'm in Canada and Panago has all their nutritional info for all the pizzas on each crust option online on their website.

    if you know where you're ordering from you can access the nutrition facts on their website (for most chains, anyway).

    We have a regular pizza night at my house, it's usually fridays. I order a thin crust veggie pizza for myself (med), usually we order from dominos or papa johns. Mmmm...pizza!

    Like Alohabrie said, thin crust + chicken would probably be the best choice

    As other suggested, thin multigrain crust is always best.
    Choose chicken or just vegetarian.
    No white sauces

    Also - why not serve salad or veggie sticks with it??

    Delivery options around here are:

    Dominos
    Pizza Hut
    Papa John's
    Blackjacks
    Abo's
    Nicholo's

    That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

    I was hoping someone would have a recommendation for which of these places has the best healthy pizza, rather than me going through all of their sites trying to find the best option. Though that's exactly what i'm doing while I wait. :)

    Definitely am having salad with it. But I will eat a piece or two of pizza along with it.

    Thin crust, lots of veggies, maybe easy on the cheese. Canadian bacon or chicken if you want meat.

    I suppose if you cant make home made with wheat crust just have them put lots of veggies on it and I heard thin crust is best. Less carbs and calories. Yum I WANT pizza now

    A thin crust Hawaiian is usually a very good option. I've found at most places it's the lowest calorie option and SUPER yummy!!!

    Blackjacks is yummy! And cheapest. Order online and there are a ton of coupons. They don't have a lot of nutritional info out there though because they are a smaller company. A slice of cheese is 200 calories a slice. Veggies wouldn't add much to that, maybe 25 calories.

    Pizza huts fit and delicious have around 150 to 180 calories per slice and are pretty low on other things as well

    Let's be honest, there is no healthy way to have Pizza, except possibly make it yourself.

    Even a few slices of a large pizza will be over 1000 cals.

    If I were you I'd have whatever you fancy, just don't do it often.

    I feel your pain, I love Pizza, but have decided to avoid it altogether for a few months.

    Enjoy.
    Phil.

    Did you mean Thick crust here, or thin crust?

    Thanks.

    and the winner is...

    Papa John's
    Thin crust, Garden Fresh

    Stats for one slice are:
    220 Calories, 11g fat, 4g sat fat, 20mg chol, 360 sodium, 24g carbs, 2g fiber, 3g sugar, 8g protein.

    The low sodium was the clincher for me. That's less than half the sodium of most of the slices I saw.

    if your have a pagliacci's in your area they've got healthier options. There's a menu online. Also Romio's you can choose your own crust and sauce for any of their pizzas so that helps a little with the health factor.
