Pizza is one of the most-loved Italian dishes out there. The joy of biting into a triangle of a thin-crust pizza loaded with your favourite vegetables or meat bits with oodles of melted cheese is indescribable. We all have experienced that feeling of being briefly transported to foodie heaven while savouring a slice of well-made pizza. The bread crust, crunchy vegetables and meats, delightful pizza sauce, and warm cheese all come together to make a medley of flavours that we all come to love so much. But then we are reminded of how 'unhealthy' the dish is and that puts a dampener on our spirits.
