The biggest challenge with pizza is the impact on your waistline, as few people stop at just one slice. Tucking into 3 slices of deep pan pepperoni pizza equals over 900 calories. Much of this is due to a generous serving of cheese and a high level of carbs in the base – 3 slices add up to 81g of carbs, the rough equivalent of 5 slices of bread. A thin crust version can help to keep the carb levels down, but does little to limit the high levels of saturated fat. Three slices of a meaty pizza will add up to 15g (thin crust) or 18g (deep pan) of saturated fat – very close to the guideline daily amount of 20g.

A vegetarian pizza is likely to be lower in saturated fat and salt. Adding peppers, mushrooms, onions or spinach can make a big difference, boosting the fibre content to help neutralize excess sugar in the base, and adding a few antioxidants, B vitamins and magnesium, to support immune function and increase energy levels.
