The Pizza Sola Blog

With the winter holidays steadfastly approaching, many people will pack on a few pounds due to all of the delicious food all around.

But, if you’re having pizza for your office holiday party or enjoying a slice during a football game, it doesn’t always have to be “unhealthy.”

In fact, Pizza Sola offers many healthier pizza options:  try toppings such as fresh peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, and spinach on a classic pie. Or, try a white pizza with chicken and broccoli. You may also enjoy The Herbivore or Sergeant Peppers – great ways to get your veggies!  There’s always the option of having one of our tasty garden salads or our Veggie Weggie Solazone if you aren’t in the mood for pizza.

Lastly, don’t forget about our signature Vegan Pie. This Vegan pizza is a cheeseless pizza with banana peppers and pineapple.

Other ways to make your pizza experience a little healthier? Opt for water to drink instead of pop or beer. Skip dessert (for now) or, hey, why not walk or bike to one of our 4 convenient locations?

However … we won’t be mad if you just want to indulge. I mean, the holidays are coming…you can always feel free to treat yourself, and burn it off later!

Whatever your pizza style, we ask you to enjoy any one of our tasty dishes.

Fall is upon us…. Football season and Halloween parties, too…. This means that a lot of pizza-eating will be happening as the months get colder and the leaves begin to change color.

So, what would your perfect “autumn  pizza” be? Would it have mushrooms, roasted red peppers, and butternut squash? Arugala, herbed ricotta, and carmelized onions? Or, instead of going the “fall” route, would you prefer a more “monsterous” pizza to get in the spirit of Halloween, complete with eyeballs made of mozzarella and black olives, and tomato sauce spilling out like blood?

Have you ever made a super creative pizza for Halloween or fall, like the pizzas we found on the Internet, below? If so, we’d love you to share your ideas and photos with Pizza Sola! We know the ‘Burgh has some foodies … show us what you’ve got!

In searching the web for some great Steelers’ pizza-party tips, Pizza Sola stumbled upon this photo of a Steelers pizza.

This particular pie is tomato sauce, mozzarella and goat cheese with  yellow bell peppers, roasted red peppers, and olives making up the logo.

This super-creative member of Steeler Nation showed us that, with enough imagination, it is possible to make a truly Steelerworthy pizza.

So, we want to know: what would you define as the ultimate Steeler pizza? Or, have you ever made a Steeler pizza like this? If so, please share!

We all enjoy a good slice of pizza now and then. But, did you know that there is some science behind the reason why?

Other than the obvious fact that it is amazingly yummy and totally delights our tastebuds (especially when it comes from Pizza Sola!) recent studies have found that comfort foods like pizza actually cause a positive chemical reaction in our body! According to Psychology Today and CNN, studies have confirmed what we already know — that comfort food – specifically pizza – not only makes us feel better, but also shows that that these kinds of foods change us even on a biological level.

Just think – now you can satisfy those late-night cravings without guilt — after all, you now know that it’s just that simple — we’re hard-wired to enjoy pizza!
