Cheese Pizza is a classic favorite originating from Italian cuisine. It features a thin or thick crust made from wheat flour, topped with a layer of tangy tomato sauce and a generous helping of melted cheese, typically mozzarella. Variations of the dish may include additional seasonings like oregano, garlic, or basil. While cheese pizza provides protein and calcium from its cheese content, it can be high in saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium depending on the portion size and preparation. The crust, depending on whether it's whole grain or refined, contributes carbohydrates and may offer fiber if whole wheat is used. To balance its nutritional profile, it can be paired with a fresh salad or veggie toppings to increase its vitamin and mineral content. Though indulgent, cheese pizza remains an accessible, shareable comfort food enjoyed worldwide.
