What to know about pizza with CKD

Pizza concentrates sodium in the sauce, cheese and cured toppings, and phosphorus in the cheese — the database rates most pizza entries limit-to-higher-risk. The workable version is one slice with a side salad and water, not the half-pizza. The ratings below show which pizza forms stay manageable.

How to order the friendly pizza

Choose thin crust with vegetables and grilled chicken, light cheese, sauce on the side. One slice is the portion the ratings assume; a side salad fills the plate and water replaces the soda.

Frequently asked questions

Can I eat pizza with CKD?

Most pizza rates limit-to-higher-risk for sodium and phosphorus — one thin-crust slice with vegetables and light cheese, plus a side salad, is the workable version. The ratings below show the range.

What is the friendliest pizza topping for CKD?

Grilled chicken and vegetables with light cheese — the cured toppings like pepperoni add sodium and the extra cheese adds phosphorus.

Is deep-dish pizza worse for CKD?

Deep dish concentrates cheese, sauce and dough — more sodium and phosphorus per slice than thin crust. Thin crust with light toppings is the friendlier form.
