25 Healthiest Frozen Pizzas, According to Dietitians

Frozen pizza is a convenient and affordable option for busy weeknights, quick lunches, or those times when you just don't feel like cooking. Sure, making your own pizza can be rewarding, but it often requires more time and effort than you might have. Ordering delivery is another choice, but it can quickly become pricey with all the added fees and tips. That's where frozen pizzas come in—they offer a practical alternative that's easy on your wallet. However, it's important to note that not all frozen pizzas are created equal when it comes to health.

Frozen foods, including pizzas, often contain higher amounts of preservatives, sodium, and trans fat. Specifically, frozen pizzas can be high in saturated fat, refined carbohydrates, and sodium. But don't worry—if you know what to look for and are aware of some healthier options, you can still enjoy a tasty, convenient meal without compromising on nutrition.

We collaborated with registered dietitians to round up some of the healthiest frozen pizza pies available, helping you make a better choice for your next frozen pizza night.

How To Shop for Healthy Frozen Pizza

• Saturated and Trans Fat: According to the American Heart Association, we should aim to have no more than 13 grams of saturated fat per day. The World Health Organization adds that when it comes to trans fats, we should eliminate them completely or at least limit them to 2.2 grams per day. When choosing a pizza, look for brands that have zero trans fats and no more than 8 grams of saturated fat per serving.
• Sodium: Frozen pizzas are often high in sodium, so it's important to pay attention to how much you're getting in each serving. The FDA recommends keeping your sodium count below 2,300 milligrams a day, so aim for pizzas with no more than 800 milligrams per serving.
• Fiber and Protein: Finding frozen pizzas with higher levels of protein and fiber can help you feel satiated and stay full longer. Look for pizzas that have at least 2 grams of fiber and 7 grams of protein per serving.
• Crust Ingredients: Most pizza crusts use white, refined flour, but different brands make healthier crust options. For example, you may see crusts made from cauliflower, chickpeas, or whole grains, which automatically increase your fiber intake and lower your intake of refined carbohydrates and sugars.

To make your frozen pizza meal healthier overall, you can also add some nutrient-dense side items. "To make any of these pies any healthier, I'd suggest adding sautéed vegetables, steamed frozen vegetables, or eating a side salad," says Lisa Young, PhD, RDN.
