Navigating Histamine Intolerance at Italian Pizza Spots

Dining out with histamine intolerance can feel overwhelming, especially at Italian pizzerias packed with high-histamine ingredients like aged cheeses, cured meats, and tomato sauce. But you don’t have to skip pizza night! With mm food, you can confidently navigate menus and enjoy Italian cuisine without the worry of flare-ups.

Why Pizza Poses Challenges for Histamine Sensitivity

Traditional pizza ingredients are often histamine landmines:

• Tomato sauce: Naturally high in histamine and a base for most pizzas
• Aged cheeses: Mozzarella, parmesan, and provolone undergo fermentation, boosting histamine levels
• Processed meats: Pepperoni, salami, and prosciutto are cured and aged
• Vegetable risks: Aubergines, spinach, and olives commonly trigger reactions

Histamine-Safe Pizza Customizations

Use these swaps to enjoy delicious pizza without consequences:

• Base: Ask for pizza bianca (olive oil base) instead of tomato sauce
• Cheese: Choose fresh ricotta or non-aged stracchino instead of fermented cheeses
• Toppings: Opt for low-histamine veggies like courgette, artichokes, or peppers
• Proteins: Request grilled chicken (freshly prepared) or avoid meats entirely
• Avoid: Anchovies, mushrooms, and tomato-based sauces
