Pizza is healthy. And it isn't healthy.
Depending on the type of crust, the amount of cheese and the toppings used, pizza can rank anywhere from nutritionally decent to a diet disaster.
Even healthy pizzas deliver a good amount of sodium from tomato sauce and cheese, so if you are watching your salt intake, you should eat with caution. Of course, the size of the slice and the number of slices you eat count, too.
Pizza pros include the fact that it offers calcium from cheese and disease-fighting lycopene from tomatoes. And pizza crust made with whole-wheat flour (including whole white wheat flour) is healthier than regular white crust, as it offers whole grains and fiber and is digested more slowly than refined grains.
But what you put on your pizza can significantly impact its nutritional value. Toppings such pepperoni, sausage and extra cheese can boost saturated fat, sodium and calories, while slices made with thinner crusts and topped with veggies tend to have lower calorie, saturated fat and sodium counts.

YES
Next question?
It’s CNN. Would you really drop eating pizza based on something in CNN?
A proper pizza contains all four food groups, so it must be healthy, at least that’s what I learned from President Reagan’s “Food Pyramid” so it must be correct.
Is Pizza Healthy?
Depends on how many boogers are on it...............
Only if it is covered with bacon and extra cheese!
And don’t forget a cold beer to wash it down with.

Who cares?
If I want pizza,I’m going to eat pizza.

Otherwise, watching CNN is not good for one’s mental health.
My friends and I demonstrated in 1979 that you can survive quite well just on Beer with no food for at least a few weeks.
What??
and no cigarettes?
Health freak.
1) Breads and Cereal, for example pepperoni pizza crust.
2) Dairy, for example cheese on a pepperoni pizza.
3) Fruits and Vegetables: Sauce on a pepperoni pizza.
4) Meats and Fish: Pepperoni.
I concluded that pepperoni pizza was nature's perfect food.
A wounded pizza is actually more dangerous than a healthy pizza, especially if cornered.
Beer has food value, food has no beer value.

Ping.
Not if it tastes good. Fat is where the flavor lives.
