Pizza is a food that brings people together and has been a Friday night staple for generations. But, with busy schedules, sometimes reaching into the freezer for a frozen pizza is an easier option. Unfortunately, if you're not making it yourself at home, the calories can quickly add up. That’s where some of the newer and healthier frozen pizzas can save the day.

“Frozen pizza is the ultimate quick dinner hack, but it’s not always the healthiest solution," says Stefani Sassos, MS, RDN, CDN, Deputy Nutrition Director for the Good Housekeeping Institute. "More and more options are popping up in the frozen aisle that are offering healthier alternatives to traditional comfort foods, pizza included." When shopping for pizza, Sassos recommends looking for thinner crusts since more dough typically means more calories and carbs. She adds that it's important to pay close attention to the serving size of the pizza you purchase. Some brands offer a mere quarter of a pie as a a full serving, while others opt for the whole pie as one serving. "Remember that if you eat two servings, you’ll have to double the sodium counts and more, so take note of this, especially if you are trying to follow a heart-healthy diet."

Registered dietitians in the Good Housekeeping Institute Nutrition Lab tested dozens of frozen pizza options, analyzing nutrition facts, ingredient lists, taste, texture, cooking times and more. Our top picks for the best healthy frozen pizza have about 30 grams of net carbs or less, less than 4 grams of total sugar and less than 600 milligrams of sodium per serving. We prioritized high fiber and high protein picks as well. Our experts looked for minimal ingredient lists and picks with better quality and taste profiles.

When choosing a healthy frozen pizza, start by considering what you want to achieve. If your goal is primarily about reducing your carbohydrate intake, you might want to consider some of the veggie options on this list. If your goal is to increase your fiber intake, legume-based pizza could be a great place to start. If you are looking for frozen pizza similar to traditional pizza or are dealing with picky eaters, we recommend the wheat crust, which provides a more familiar experience.

Many frozen prepared foods are loaded with sodium, fat and added sugars. Make sure to pay attention to labels and look for whole food ingredients, like crusts made with whole grains, legumes and vegetables like cauliflower and broccoli crusts. Sassos says to be aware that crust and tomato sauce can be a sneaky source of sugar as well, so aim for pizza options that have less than 4 grams of total sugar. Take note that pizza can be carbohydrate heavy, so round out the meal by adding extra lean protein and veggies or a salad on the side for the added nutrients and fiber.
