Same! Even my teenage boys won't eat more than two slices. I order an XL knowing it will be lunch the next day too.


Wait, what? Your teenage boys are grossed out by more than 2 pieces of pizza???


I know teenaged boys who could inhale two slices of pizza and then eat a car.

Yours are just weird.

Pizza shouldn't be junk food. Especially if you make it from scratch. Salad + 2 slices is more than satisfying!

As others have said - have a large salad first. Put something filling like chickpeas and avocado on it.

At our house, we tend to get pizza when we don't feel like cooking and we'd like to have a break. People eat it off paper plates. It means we don't have to cook that night, just throw away the box.
I can't see how making a salad, making a vegatable, cleaning the kitchen and also ordering and picking up a pizza actually gives mom a "break from cooking." It just means she also has to order a pizza.


You could just order the salad too. That way no one has to make it.

Yeah being that disordered around pizza is too much work. Order pizza. Eat what makes you happy. Move on with your life

I would much rather have gourmet green beans than grease.

Try eating a salad first. I find them filling, but not enough for a meal on their own. So salad + something else is perfect.

That said, sometimes it’s fun to eat junk food. Even a lot of pizza.

Stop thinking of it as an entree. Start thinking of it as a component of a full meal.

Two slices of thin crust, a salad or some sauteed peppers and onions, maybe some cucumber salad or pickles or something acidic, maybe some fruit. Maybe two slices of thin crust, a few slices of antipasto meats and cheeses? Get creative.

Stop thinking of pizza night as a plate of pizza.


Same but even two slices is too much. Why not just have one for the taste then fill up on salad or veggies?


Because that’s no way to live. Two slices is perfectly fine.


I agree with this or even three slices. There is no reason you should be feeling gross. It is just bread, cheese, and sauce. It isn't like you are eating a pound of beer battered deep fried onion rings. I think there is a mental component to why you feel gross after eating a couple slices of pizza OP


Mmmm onion rings. This keeps getting better and better.

I feel this same way but after experimenting with a very low carb diet and making a fake pizza crust out of cheese and egg and almond flour, I discovered it’s not the oil that makes me feel heavy and bloated, nor is it the oil or fat that makes me want four pieces. It’s all the wheat. A low carb fake pizza with tons of cheese in both crust and topping leaves me feeling just fine, and full after a couple of pieces.

Bummer, because I miss ordering normal pizza.

I like to get a Jack's Pepperoni Thin Crust Pizza in Walmart frozen foods (usually about $3) and add mushrooms and some parmesan cheese.

Then I eat three (out of six) slices which almost feels like too much. It's delicious! I usually have a small salad with it.

If I ate the whole pizza it would be about 1000 calories according to their website.

I don't hate anything about it.
