Italian Pizza with Mushrooms and Prosciutto (1 Piece)

Limit the pizza portion (for example, 1–2 slices), eat slowly, and save the rest for another meal rather than eating it all at once.

Start with a salad of leafy greens, mushrooms, cucumber, and olive oil plus vinegar before the pizza; avoid sweet dressings.

Choose a thinner crust and request extra mushrooms or other non-starchy vegetables, while avoiding extra crust, stuffed crust, and sweet sauces.

Skip soda, juice, beer, and dessert with the meal; choose water or unsweetened sparkling water instead.

Take an easy 10–20 minute walk soon after eating, if this is safe for you.

If you use insulin or other glucose-lowering medication and spikes are frequent, review your pizza-meal plan with your clinician rather than changing doses on your own.
