NUTRITION

Nutritionists across Canada confirm that pizza is an excellent source of nutrition and ranks as one of the most nutritious foods available, offering choices from all four food groups: Grains, Vegetables & Fruits, Dairy Products & Meats.

Because of the healthy ingredients that go into making a great pizza, pizza is not considered “fast food”, rather, “good food fast”.

Pizza is also an excellent source of lycopene. Lycopene is a pigment that gives tomatoes their red colour and provides valuable antioxidant protection against certain types of free radicals, and may protect against certain types of cancer better than any nutrient presently known.
