Save Calories when ordering PIZZA

The average American eats 46 slices of pizza a year! Whether that is you or not, here are some simple ways to cut calories when you are ordering pizza.
  1. Order thin crust (this could save up to 800 calories per pizza- that is the difference at Uno's)
  2. Ask for 1/2 the cheese (or be adventures and get no cheese at all, you may be pleasantly surprised)
  3. Order vegetables instead of meat toppings (broccoli, peepers, garlic, or mushrooms are popular)
  4. Split the pizza (having trouble deciding which topping to share with others? Get a half and half pizza instead of 2. This way you won't be tempted by extra slices or leftovers)
  5. Get whole wheat crust when available (this may not immediately save calories, but it will increase fiber)
**Bonus, save some calories when eating pizza:
  • Put pizza down in-between bites.
  • Get a side salad to replace your 2nd slice
