A more accurate description would be an “imbalanced” meal. It contains ingredients that would give you needed nutrients, but at the wrong levels. Too much fat and carbs, vs “vegetables” which are also processed and full of added sugar and salt. It’s not the worst thing you could eat, but it isn’t great. To your point, that’s why moderation is so important.

Jokes aside, pizza really is a pretty healthy complete meal. As with all things, moderation is the most important factor.

Toss on some mushrooms, spinach leaf, and a bit of ground beef or sausage and you’re good to go.

That is highly dependent on how you make it. Same thing could be said for most meals. A homemade pizza will almost always be better for you than whatever crap dominos is peddling these days

It doesn’t really change that its main component is bread and cheese, with a very low content of vegetables. But sure, better than the extremely low bar you set for yourself.

That’s fair. I don’t even want to know what a Jack’s pizza is made out of. Probably compacted crack.

Ahh moderation, my arch nemesis.

Moderation is the issue with pizza, at least for me.
I’ve been making pizza and pasta from scratch. It’s basically the exact same ingredients:
- flour
- tomatoes
- cheese
But when I’m making pizza I know that I can almost double the amount of flour because we are eating way more pizza than pasta.

It’s just bread, it technically has other stuff but in insignificant amounts, it is literally cheese bread.

It really isn’t though. Low on fibres and high on carbs.
