Pizza Puffs are a savory snack inspired by Italian-American cuisine, blending the flavors of pizza into a crispy pastry pocket. Typically, they consist of a golden, deep-fried dough filled with a mixture of mozzarella cheese, tomato sauce, and diced pepperoni or sausage, with variations including vegetables like green peppers and onions. While Pizza Puffs offer a convenient and flavorful treat, they are considered indulgent rather than health-focused. Due to their deep-fried preparation, they are high in calories, saturated fats, and sodium, making them best enjoyed in moderation. On the bright side, they do provide some protein and calcium from the cheese and meat fillings. For those seeking healthier options, baking instead of frying or incorporating more vegetables into the filling can make them a bit more balanced. Pizza Puffs remain a popular choice for a quick, satisfying bite with a comforting, familiar taste.
