Margherita Pizza

Margherita pizza is safe and delicious while breastfeeding! Fresh mozzarella, tomato sauce, and basil on a pizza crust — simple ingredients, all completely breastfeeding-friendly.

Margherita pizza is made with pizza dough, tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, basil, and olive oil. All ingredients are safe during breastfeeding. Fresh mozzarella is fine — the pregnancy soft cheese restriction doesn't apply to breastfeeding, and most fresh mozzarella in the US is pasteurized anyway.
