Vegetables – go heavy on the veggies asking for extra capsicum, fresh or roasted tomatoes, mushrooms and more gourmet offerings like artichoke hearts, roasted pumpkin and rocket leaves.
Cheese – see the light and opt for a gourmet pizza which tend to have a smaller quantity of a strong flavoured cheese like goat or feta. With regular pizzas ask for ½ the normal cheese content so you can see and taste the other toppings.
Herbs – fresh herbs add flavour without fat and can also boost your antioxidant intake.
Meat – favour fresh over processed meats and control the portion of meat on the pizza. Bypass the meat lovers special and always including veggie toppings too.
