Ham is known as one of the best protein choices to add on to your pizza. It is lower in fat than sausage, ground beef or crumbled bacon, and it also contains more protein.

Parmesan Cheese when people hear the word cheese they go like it would be fattening but Parmesan Cheese is a great alternative to regular cheese. It is higher in protein and lower in fat. Parmesan cheese will offer a boost in calcium as well. Some may say that Parmesan Cheese is not tasty as Mozzarella but it is ideal in respect to nutrition.
