Nutritional & Ingredient Warnings/Concerns

While exact nutritional data isn’t publicly available for this specific SKU, similar Nardone Bros. breakfast pizzas typically contain:

1. High Sodium: Gravy and processed turkey sausage are common sources of sodium. Consuming multiple servings could contribute significantly to daily sodium intake (aim for <2,300 mg/day).
2. Processed Meat: Turkey sausage may be cured or contain additives (e.g., nitrates). The World Health Organization classifies processed meats as a Group 1 carcinogen (linked to colorectal cancer) when consumed regularly.
3. Whole Grain Claim: The "whole grain" label suggests fiber content, but check the ingredient list for refined flour or additives that might negate health benefits. Whole grains should be listed as the first ingredient.
4. Gravy Composition: Often contains dairy (milk, cheese) and thickeners like cornstarch or modified food starch. Allergens (e.g., milk, wheat) are likely present.
5. Caloric Density: Breakfast pizzas are calorie-dense due to cheese, meat, and carbs. A single 5-inch pizza could exceed 500–700 kcal, making portion control important.
