A Guide To Healthy Pizza Toppings
One of the most famous pizza maker Raffaelle Esposito was the most known pizza-maker in the late 1890s and he was invited to prepare his speciality pizzas for the king and the queen of Italy who were just visiting Naples. He made the Mastunicola (topped with lard, cheese and basil), Marinara (tomato, garlic, oregano and oil) and a pizza that was made for the occasion and called after the queen Margherita who loved this pizza.
The enthusiastic pizza-maker named the pizza after the queen, pizza Margherita (tomato, oil, mozzarella cheese and basil) ingredients to recall the Italian flag colours (red white and green).

Making a habit of making your own pizza dough from scratch in itself is a much healthier option as ready-made ones in stores contain nasties almost 100% of the time. These contain all sort of agents and hydrogenated oils not to mention other ingredients that sometimes cannot even be pronounced.
My food intake policy is that if any label contains stuff you cannot pronounce then you cannot digest it either! Leave it there on the shelf and consider making your own.
It is exactly what I did with my Yorkshire puddings some time ago. Love them, used to buy them even more often than I should have. I did not consider making my own because yes, it was convenient buying them ready-made and I always thought they were so difficult to make at home. This was until one day when I dared to give these a try. Guess what?! it was a true first-time success. Never bought them ever again, I probably never will!

Ask yourself a question: How many times a week, or a month do I have or I'd love to have a pizza? Well, the answer is you could probably have it even more often with clean ingredients like these without feeling any guilt at all.
