Pizza Cheese (1 Cup, Shredded)

Choose a smaller portion and eat slowly; save the remaining slices for later rather than eating them in one sitting.

Add a large side salad with leafy greens, cucumber, tomatoes, and a vinegar-based dressing before or alongside the pizza.

Prefer pizza topped with non-starchy vegetables such as mushrooms, peppers, spinach, onions, or broccoli, and avoid sweet sauces or glazes.

Limit high-carbohydrate sides and desserts with the meal; drink water or unsweetened tea instead of soda or juice.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after eating, if this is safe and appropriate for you.

Track how different crust styles, portions, and toppings affect your glucose so you can identify your personal best options.
