We all know that pizza has been in the headlines with recent reports from the Center for Science in the Public Interest (8). These studies mention how the nutritional value of pizza is impacted negatively by the large amounts of dairy and meat toppings often used. Schwan's has introduced a revolutionary new pizza that addresses these concerns.

SmartPizza™ brand pizza by Tony's® is a nutritionally enhanced pizza that features a first-of-its-kind soy-based crust. This creates a pizza that's lower in fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium, and higher in fiber?with a taste kids say they like as well as the original version (9). Soy protein has many benefits (10). It reduces the amount of other higher-fat proteins like cheese and meat, and it can help reduce the risk of heart disease (11).

Pizza is a kids' menu favorite-and parents like it, too (12). Pizza combines several food groups into one meal-meat, dairy, vegetable, and bread. Plus, SmartPizza™ brand pizza by Tony's® has a low per-serving cost, so it's highly profitable for your school.
