See how your favorite grocery store frozen pizzas rank based on sodium.
Frozen pizza is a convenient, delicious option on days when you don’t want to cook or spend a ton of money on takeout or delivery. With endless varieties on the freezer shelves, shoppers have never had so much choice when it comes to the right pizza for their taste and especially dietary needs. If you’re watching your sodium intake, it would be smart to check out the labels because some frozen pizzas are packed with salt. The American Heart Association recommends no more than 2,300 mg a day with the goal of no more than 1,500 mg a day for most adults: Here are seven grocery store frozen pizzas ranked from worst to best, sodium-wise.
