It is carbs and for some people carbs trigger seizures. If you make pizza with a no carb crust then you can eat it.

"Fathead pizza" is the my favorite low carb pizza. You can google the recipe. It's easy to make!

So, i just ran across this thread. I know it’s really old and it’s gotten many answers. I am a chef, pizza dough is essentially white bread which IS one of the foods we’re supposed to avoid. It has the same ingredients. With the addition of a bit of olive oil. Even those that use a blend, the blend includes a high percentage of bread flour in most cases.

I eat pizza all the time with no problem, just stay away from spicy things, and Parsley and things with ginseng, that can cause a sz.
