Pizza night is everyone’s favorite night; few things bring together family or friends more than a delicious, steaming pie. But as more people become health conscious, you may wonder if pizza night needs to become a thing of the past. Luckily, the pizza masters at South Lane Bowling in La Crosse, Wisconsin, offer these simple tips to help make this comfort food a health food - without sacrificing taste!

Tips for Eating a Healthier Pizza

Try a Thin Crust

This is an easy and delicious ways to cut back on calories while still piling on the flavor. Thin crust is crispy, light, and delicious, but lower in carbs and refined sugars. The crust is often the least healthy element of a pie, so scale it back and have another piece!

Experiment With New Vegetables

It’s easy to go with the standard order every time you hit your local pizza restaurant. Why not shake it up a bit, though? Spinach, green olives, portobello mushrooms - the options are endless! Also, it’s a fantastic way to get kids to try out new things; flavors blend beautifully on a pizza, and ingredients that might otherwise be too bold for them will be welcomed on a slice!

Add Some Activity

Often, pizza night means movie night -  but why not add a little action to your routine? You can cancel out the calories you consume by getting off the couch and having some active fun. If you’re opting for pizza delivery, throw a mini-dance party in your living room, or head out to the backyard for a game of frisbee. If you’re eating out, round out your evening with some bowling!
