Low FODMAP Pizza Toppings Combinations

Eating a pizza without toppings is just breadsticks. Enjoy Low FODMAP Pizza Toppings because while breadsticks are delicious, everyone should be able to enjoy pizza, even if they are on a Low FODMAP diet.

The key to enjoying pizza toppings is to be aware of portion sizes, ingredients, and high FODMAP foods. It is also worth noting everyone has different tolerance levels and triggers. Some can eat lactose all day long but cannot eat wheat. At the same time, others can eat a little bit of everything in small serving sizes.

Work with a FODMAP-trained dietician and use the Monash University App as a guide. Also, test and retest. Know your triggers and low FODMAP serving sizes, and be aware of the food you are eating.

Pizza Sauce Options

Homemade - Quick five-ingredient low FODMAP pizza sauce.
Sensitive Spaghetti Sauce - I love Prego or Rao's sensitive pasta sauce options.
Chilled Garlic Infused Olive Oil - When chilled, it acts like butter. Top it with a low FODMAP certified garlic salt. We love Smoke and Sanity's version. It will be like eating garlic bread!

Meat Options

Pepperoni - I have found FODMAP friendly brands behind the deli counter and at Aldi.
Salami - Options include fresh slices behind the deli counter.
BBQ Chicken - Use meal-prepped chicken and homemade BBQ sauce.
Taco Flavored Ground Beef - Use the beef from Low FODMAP beef tacos.
Chipotle Chicken - Use leftover Instant Pot Chipotle Chicken.
Bacon - Use the fully cooked option to save time. Otherwise, leftovers are another great option.
Italian Sausage - Homemade Low FODMAP sausage or find an option without garlic or onion listed in the ingredients.
Candian Bacon - Another great option. It is basically like deli ham.

Veggie Options

Green Bell Peppers - Safe at ½ cup per meal, according to Monash FODMAP app. Plenty to be used as a pizza topping.
Black Olives - Fifteen small black olives per meal.
Green Olives - Fifteen small green olives per meal.
Canned Mushrooms - Six small pieces or try oyster mushrooms.
Green Onions - Only the tops. For extra fresh flavor, add them after the pizza is baked.
Fresh Pineapple - Safe at one cup per meal.

Cheese Options

Dairy products can be tricky for some on a low FODMAP diet. If lactose causes digestive issues, skip it, use hard cheeses, or use a dairy free, nut free cheese alternative.

Mozerella - Safe at ¼ cup or 40 grams.
Parmesan - Considered a hard cheese and also delicious. Safe at forty grams.
Feta - Three tablespoons per meal. It would be delicious on a Greek pizza.
Lactose Free Mozerella - An option if lactose bothers you, use a lactose free mozzarella.
Dairy Free Nut Free Liquid Cheese - This is an awesome product for a cashew-free cheese option. Since cashews are a high FODMAP food, nut-free cheese is essential. This liquid cheese is poured onto the cheese but bakes like regular cheese. Worth every penny!
