Anyone who knows about health; how bad for you is homemade Pizza?

It's essentially a loaf of bread with half a block of cheese (or more) on top.

Why would I use anywhere close to that much cheese?

>>8763106
fucking amazing.

Using "pizza sauce" and what i assume is store bought pizza crust, not very.

If you're doing it homemade anyway, just use healthier ingredients, ie tomato paste instead of pizza sauce, and tortilla wraps/flatbread instead of pizza dough.

A good size large pizza can easily hold ~2 Cups Shredded cheese without being overly cheesy.

It's "Pizza sauce" tomato paste, is that the same thing?

>>8763176

I guess so? I'd be surprised if I used even half a cup

Pizza hut uses between 1/2-1 Cup on their lg. pizzas. And people are happy. I can't remember exactly but I do remember it didn't cover the marinara for shit so I always hooked up more. I worked there almost 20 years ago. On the other hand I have worked in restaurants where we would use like 2 large handfuls on our pizzas.

Tomato paste is basically ground tomatoes while pizza sauce contains herbs such as oregano, and parsley.

Calorically, they're pretty close, but pizza sauce has a shitload more sodium. Also like >>8763193 said, it's got some spices in it.


My point is, if you're doing homemade, you can just use healthier ingredients to make healthier food.

Fair enough

Frozen pizza is probably pretty bad for you, in addition to all the fat and salt already present in the cheese there's loads of artificial additives that may or may not be bad for you and probably added sugar because everything processed has sugar for Americans

It's a huge piece of carbs and fat

high carb high fat diets cause obesity

pretty simple stuff

It's good for your peace of mind.

Not very. Most of the negatives from pizza comes from preservatives and chemicals used in flash freezing and substitutes for actual ingredients that are more shelf stable, if we're talking frozen shit. If we're talking chains, it's because they use the cheapest ingredients they can and it's still filled with chemicals since most of it is shipped out to stores to be prepared, but most of it is already set up for end user consumption, just not put together.

Making your own, the unhealthiest part is probably gonna be whatever "pizza sauce", because you're probably buying it, which means tons of sugar.

It's a pain in the ass but Cauliflower Pizza Crust actually works.

find a white flour substitute and home made pizza can be quite healthy if you use quality products.
It's the white flour that's unhealthy.
I just try to minimize the use of white flour when making pizzas because no pizza tastes as good as made with white flour. I could eat pizza day after day if I could only find a substitute for white flour that's as tasty as white flour and healthy.

almond flour/mozzarella fathead crust is nice, not as much effort needed

it depends on your dietary needs and the rest of your diet. if you are a reasonably healthy person who exercises regularly, there is no reason why you cannot fit pizza into your diet. you should avoid highly-processed ingredients though.

Activated flour seems a little daunting
