About Personal cheese pizza

A personal cheese pizza is a single-serving pizza originating from Italian cuisine that features a crust, tomato sauce, and melted cheese, typically mozzarella. This classic dish balances carbohydrates from the crust, protein and fat from the cheese, and vitamins and antioxidants from the tomato sauce. Depending on the preparation, a personal cheese pizza can range from 250 to 400 calories per serving, providing macronutrients such as 10-20g of protein, 30-50g of carbohydrates, and 10-15g of fat. It also includes calcium from the cheese and lycopene from the tomato sauce, contributing to its nutritional profile in moderation.

Health Benefits

• Provides a good source of calcium, important for maintaining strong bones and teeth, courtesy of the cheese.
• Tomato sauce is rich in lycopene, an antioxidant known to support heart health and reduce inflammation.
• Includes protein from the cheese, aiding in muscle repair and immune function.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains gluten (from the crust), dairy (from the cheese)

Suitable for: Vegetarian diet

Not suitable for: Vegan diet, gluten-free diet, lactose-intolerant individuals (unless made with lactose-free cheese)
