Pizza

With moderation

Pizza is generally acceptable in moderation for gout when made with low-purine toppings, as the base, sauce, and cheese contribute minimal purines.

Good

The dough, tomato sauce, and mozzarella cheese are low in purines; tomatoes provide vitamin C and antioxidants that may support uric acid management.

Bad

Common high-purine toppings like pepperoni, sausage, or bacon can trigger flares, and pizza is often paired with beer or sugary drinks that raise uric acid levels.
