CONS

Pizza can be high in calories if consumed in large portions.
The beef in this recipe can also increase the saturated fat content of the pizza.
The tzatziki sauce may not be enjoyed by everyone, particularly those who don’t like yoghurt or cucumber.
Lastly, cooking pizza on high heat in the oven can result in excess charring, which may not be preferable for some individuals.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Beef is a good source of protein and serves as a building block for muscles and tissues. Cucumber is high in fiber, which aids in digestion, and is also low in calories. Kalamata olives are rich in heart-healthy fats and also provide a good source of vitamin E. Yoghurt-based sauces such as tzatziki can promote gut health and reduce inflammation.
