Nutrition

Pizza Pot Pies are a delicious and hearty dish, but it’s important to be mindful of their nutritional content. Here’s a breakdown of the key nutrients per serving:

What To Serve With It

I love pairing my pizza pot pies with a fresh, crisp salad to balance out the richness. A tangy vinaigrette or creamy Caesar dressing works wonders, depending on my mood. For drinks, I’ll grab a cold soda or a light beer, but a chilled glass of lemonade is always a rejuvenating choice too.

Salad Pairings

Nothing beats a fresh, crisp salad to balance out the rich, cheesy goodness of pizza pot pies. I love experimenting with salad dressing combinations, like tangy balsamic vinaigrette or creamy ranch, to keep things exciting. Adding fresh herb additions, such as basil, parsley, or cilantro, brings a burst of flavor. Pair it with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber for a revitalizing side that complements every bite.

Beverage Options

Choosing the right drink to go with pizza pot pies can really elevate the whole meal. I love pairing them with a revitalizing soda or iced tea—keeping beverage temperatures cool is key. For something fancy, try wine pairings like a light Pinot Noir or a crisp Chardonnay. Sometimes, I’ll even go for a fizzy sparkling water with lemon to balance the richness. Cheers to great flavors!
