Yes, pregnant women can have pizza if it is prepared freshly and consumed in moderation. However, it is important to note that while pizza is generally safe to eat during pregnancy, certain toppings can either cause an allergic reaction or be potentially harmful.
Undercooked, raw, cold cuts, and seafood can be breeding grounds for parasites and bacteria that can have detrimental effects on the baby, so it is best to avoid these items, whether on pizza or otherwise.1 The same caution applies when choosing cheese for the pizza.
Since pregnancy is a delicate stage, women should refrain from having moldy cheese, blue cheese, soft cheese, and so on. Additionally, all types of unpasteurized food and cheese should be avoided.2 However, eating pizza prepared with lots of greens, vegetables, and even pineapple (if desired) can benefit pregnant women by supplementing a nutrient-rich diet.
We also suggest having the pizza dough prepared with whole-grain, high-fiber options to further nourish both you and your baby.3 While you focus on your health during pregnancy by consuming nourishing foods, you might also contemplate preserving your baby's stem cells at birth. These cells can provide protection against the impact of over 90+ conditions for your baby and the entire family.
