Diabetics at Pizza Hut
Pizza is neither a great meal nor the worst for diabetes. All you need is some fact check and monitoring while ordering your pizza. Diabetics can opt for thin crust or skinny pizza at Pizza Hut and avoid the cheese topping to cut down on the excess fat and sodium. If you have diabetes, then ensure to check your portion size when you order a pizza. One or max. two slices are enough. You can also avoid meat if possible and go for wings as a meat option.
Foods to Avoid at Pizza Hut for Diabetics:
You must avoid Meat Lovers Pizza with Original Pan Crust as it contains over 1000mg sodium and will add 470 calories in your meal. You should also skip Super Supreme Pizza Large Original Pan Slice which is too high in sodium and fat. Chicken wings are often tempting but you must control and restrict yourself from ordering Traditional Honey BBQ Bone-in Wings as it can add up to your sugar levels if you eat too many. On average, a person orders or consumes six chicken wings pieces in a day.
Sides must be avoided at all costs especially if it's Bacon Cheddar Fries with Ranch Dipping Cup for its high sodium content. You must also avoid New York Style Cheesecake with Applesauce as dessert as one slice of this dessert item contains 86g sugar. Pizza Hut also offers other Italian dishes such as Pasta. However, you must skip Spaghetti with Meat Sauce and Meatballs and Garlic Bread as it is too high in sodium and sugar.

Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations.

Pizza Shack is a Pittsburgh institution. It's not in the heart of the city, but off 51 in the South Hills. It's easy to pass by without a second glance, especially because it is closed most of the time. Call ahead for a pizza, and it's guaranteed that (if they're open) they're very busy at any time of night. I recommend ordering a plain pizza, but all of the toppings I have tried are pretty good too. Plain just hits the perfect balance of flavour, in my opinion. When you come to pick it up, sometimes you can grab a chat with the owners, who are friendly and quirky to talk to. The pizza comes as a square. Some of the pieces have crust, others do not. The crust it crispy and almost like a dense pastry, but the sauce is sweet like stewed tomatoes and jam... or something like that. Just try it. It's so worth it.

I live no more than 5 minutes away from this place and only tried it for the first time last night. They have extremely odd hours. Thursday, Friday and Saturday 4-930. Even if you arrive at 4, expect a wait. This place gets PACKED and busy fast. I heard about this place for a while now and have been meaning to try it- but the hours threw me off. Well now I see what the fuss is all about! My mom went to get the pizza last night. She arrived around 6 and as she has been told in the past , there would be a long wait or she could take the pizza and bake it at home. Rather than wait an hour when she was hungry, she brought the pizza to be baked at our house. You bake at 425 degrees for about 15 minutes . When I first saw the pizza, I noticed that it is a square pizza which I usually dislike. Not anymore. This pizza was amazing. We ordered just the plain pizza and it did not lack in flavor. The crust was unlike anything I've ever had in a pizza- light, flaky, not so filling and overwhelming like a lot of crusts. The sauce was sweet and packed with flavor. You can taste that it's homemade and that the tomatoes are fresh. The cheese was awesome- mozzarella and provolone I believe. Amazing. After having 4 pieces, I didn't feel uncomfortably full, I felt satisfied which is a much better feeling. I would love to give this place 5 stars, but there odd hours and the fact that they were closed 2 Thursdays in a row without as much as a sign on the door prevents me from doing so.
(4)Sestino C.
The hours are very limited, always a long wait and I'm unsure for what reason. The crust is obviously made ahead of time then they slap on the sweetest sauce I've ever put in my mouth. The cheese blend is the only good thing about the pizza. I guess if you like a non traditional pizza this may be for you but if you are looking for a good thin crust, or a traditional thick Pittsburgh pie, this isn't for you

I've been "hooked" on the shack for more than 30 years. I live in No VA but raised in pitt. Pizza is very light. Order a large square (16 cuts) and eat more than half!! I ALWAYS stop here when returning to pitt. It's crazy pizza. Pre-cooked shells, topped with a unique sauce that is indeed a bit sweet and shop graded mozzarella / provolone and i suspect a bit of cheddar. This pizza has managed to have a strong So. Hills following for more than 35 years. What does this say? Check it out.
(5)Danielle B.
Their unique "sweet sauce" is what keeps me from eating there. If you want sugar on your pizza then this is the pizza for you. I think I'll pass.
(1)Joey K.
Best pizza in the WORLD by far! I've lived in Europe, been to Italy multiple times, and traveled all over the world..and I've never had pizza as good as Pizza Shack. I've been eating there for 25-30 years (since I was a kid) and every time I'm back in Pittsburgh I make it a priority to go. Just ask yourself one question...how can a pizza shop that doesn't deliver and is only open 4 days/week for 5 hours/night (20 hours/week) ever stay in business for 35+ years?...the answer is high demand for GREAT PIZZA! Once you try it, you'll be hooked...and it's even better the next day re-heated!!!!
(5)Jarrett H.
Great pizza at a great cost, Pizza Shack's uniquely sweet sauce is what keeps me coming back, and everyone who I've recommended them to agrees. Highly recommended. No eating in, and very strange hours, however.
(5)Darren W.
To some, this pizza is grotesquely saccharine. To others, it is blissfully bizarre. Almost a dessert, the neatly square pie (tart? sheet cake?) has a crust kindred to a puff pastry and a radiant red sauce sugary enough to fill a doughnut. The pale, thin, filmy cheese has a sharp flavor. The mushrooms are fresh, thickly cut, and are nearly raw. The pepperoni discs are flimsy, oily, and taste as if they are sliced to order. You see, as a South Hills dweller of many moons, I have sped by this establishment uncounted times with nary a thought. Tonight, I decided to neglect Pizza Shack no longer. Quite literally...a shack, it is thankfully occupied and is not emblazoned with a name that Pittsburghers will tell you conjures images of strangled suburban potential: LEVITSKE. Only pizza can be had here. There are no hoagies, wing-dings, mozzarella sticks, calzones, or any other such fare. No, Pizza Shack makes nothing but pizza, and although it will not be to everyone's tastes, I think they make it well. My father HATED it. My mom didn't know what to think of it. I...liked it enough to at least rate it a solid 4. Standing in front of an oven of aged, brown brick and dark, lightly corroded iron doors, the man who took my money and handed over the pizza told me that Pizza Shack has been doing brisk business for 50 years, indicating that a customer base is obviously eating this pizza with fervid regularity. Pizza Shack's pizza will ultimately either attract or repel you with a sweetness that flutters between felicity and vulgarity. I am drawn to it without being completely smitten. P.S. Pizza Shack is CASH AND TAKEOUT ONLY. They offer no dine-in or delivery. P.P.S. I'm not the only Darren who is a Pizza Shack fan. When I phoned in my order, I was mistaken for another Darren who routinely buys their pizza.
(4)Scott B.
First of all, this is not a traditional pizza. If you like a sweet sauce and crispy crust, this place is for you. They also use a crumbly sausage that is great. I have been getting this pizza for over 25 years and it is always consistent. You will either love it or hate it, nothing in between. Just remember, they have limited hours, no delivery, serve only pizza, take out only..... And they have still stayed in business for over 25 years. That has to say something about the pizza. Unfortunately, they have really funny hours. That is the only reason I gave them four stars.
(4)Stacey C.
I am in love with this pizza! I wish they had better hours though. I look forward to this Wednesday just so I can get another pizza! If you aren't a fan of sweet sauce, this is not the pizza for you. I love the sweetness of this sauce. Definitely a must have in Pittsburgh!
(5)Amber T.
I love this pizza. If you like sweet sauce then you need to try this pizza.
(5)Renee Z.
Best pizza ever...Trust me, it's worth the drive and planning around their limited hours.
