While commercial pizza may not be an everyday healthy eating item, many companies are coming up with new ways to draw in customers with fresh takes on their traditional pizza such as providing nutrition information, creating menu items with all-natural ingredients and lower sodium items, and identifying those items for customers with dietary restrictions.
Here are links to ingredient allergen, nutrition or ingredient sensititivity info from different popular quick serve and commercial pizza companies:
Pizza Hut -
- Food Alergen and Sensitivity Table - This is a .pdf file from Pizza Hut with which pizzas have peanut, tree nuts, eggs, wheat, milk, soybean, fish, shellfish allergens, and which have MSG or gluten for those who have sensitivity to those items.
- They also have an exchange list for their pizzas, with starch, high fat meat, medium fat meat, lean fat meat, very leat fat meat, fat, carbohydrate, vegetable and free food exchanges.
