Giordanos Pizza Pie

[ahmerkhan]

Hey guys,

was wondering if I can eat a giordanos pizza, but just not eat the crust ? just the center with the sauce and cheese and meat toppings ?

I am on OWL rung 8.

Re: Giordanos Pizza Pie

I would eat something else. The sauce could have sugar.

A little off topic, but....may I ask what city you are finding a Giordano's Pizza Restaurant? I may be wrong, but I believe they opened their first one here in the Chicago area.

The first time I was introduced to them was about 30 years ago, when our office ordered us a Pizza lunch...LOL...How Creative! And it came from Giordano's.

And I have to agree with Georgiana, these pizzas are pretty great -- if you like deep dish--(that is what they are famous for) but their sauce is pretty sweet tasting, I can only imagine it must be from a lot of added sugar.

Re: Giordanos Pizza Pie

anyone else know if we can have the deep disk and eat just the center, cheese sauce, and toppings ? Im in the late stages of OWL so maybe I can afford a sweet tsting sauce ?

Re: Giordanos Pizza Pie

personally i would not eat it i would be too afraid there might be other things in it like hydrogenated oils

Re: Giordanos Pizza Pie

Could someone help me do some research, it would be a dream, simply because of the ratio u would get by just eating the cheese and topics. rather then scraping off an entire slice of pizza for one bite.

Well A,
The best research you do is just call the friendly people at Giordiano's directly---and ask them to look at the label for their sauce, (they will probably say they make it fresh---I am guessing they are not, someone would have to be making vats of it all day long!!!) you can't do any better than that!!!
Ask if there is any sugar, corn syrup, etc . Even if they do make it from Scratch, there would be a recipe for them to check, too.

*When you call, first ask for the kitchen manager. And I would call a suburban store rather than one that is near the North side or Downtown. They tend to be busier and maybe not as easy to talk to as a suburban spot.

according to that there is 9 g of sugar per 7 oz, so is that off limits ? if my ACL is around 45?

You should be counting net carbs, not grams of sugar. According to The Daily Plate, the pizza has 53 net carbs.

And since the crust is made with grains and there might be sugar in the sauce, it's not allowed on OWL Rung 8 anyway.

Atkins isn't just about keeping your net carbs (although it seems that's not what you've been counting up to now) under X.

Are you reading the 2002 edition of DANDR?

Re: Giordanos Pizza Pie

I wouldnt eat the crust, just teh center cheese, sauce, and maybe a meat toping. If it is about just counting carbs, then 9 grams for 7 ounce should be ok and well below my ACL correct ?

Re: Giordanos Pizza Pie

If they come from added sugar, then it's not okay.

>>f it is about just counting carbs,>>

It's not though ... which you should know by now, being on OWL Rung 7.
