Healthy, because
Tomatoes provide abundant lycopene, an antioxidant that protects our body from free radicals. Parmesan scores with a lot of protein and calcium.
Even smarter
If you have a little more time, you should make the pizza dough yourself and use wholemeal flour. This contains more fiber, minerals, and vitamins than the white flour variant.
