That's the beauty of pizza--no side dish needed!
Veggies ON the pizza!

Beer :)

We usually do veggies, steamed or roasted. Pasta is a good side too.

Does pizza even need a side? It's got everything already, sauce, cheese, veges, meat and crust, seems like a side would be overkill. Beyond salad everything else feels too heavy for something as filling as pizza.

I usually do a fresh fruit or veggie.

Maybe forget the side dish and just put spinach on the pizza? Or is this a dish you are taking to someone's house? If so, maybe just some fresh fruit for a caprese salad? I like the roasted veggie suggestion below too.

I do canned green beans.

I drain all the fluid out, add a little butter and some garlic powder, not garlic salt, they're already salted.

I heat them in the microwave a minute or so and they go well with the pizza due to the garlic.

Ooh! This would be an awesome chance to try a spaghetti squash 'mac and cheese' I found online. I love pasta with pizza... But never actually eat it because its just TOO much heavy food. This uses squash instead of noodles. :)

I bet baked green bean or zucchini "fries" would be awesome.

Here is the recipe, if you are interested. (Of course... It may be too much cheese... Lol.)

I don't think you need a side dish at all...it is a meal in itself.

But if you WANT to do something, my kids normally are served fruit or fries with it at restaurants.

grilled veggies

potato salad (Hey, why not?). ;)

grilled corn on the cobb

Corn on the cob is always good and pasta is perfect but so much more work than a simple salad.

I usually buy salad in the box (spring mix) is my favorite. Then I add carrots, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, sunflower seeds, strawberries, blueberries, black berries, raspberries, yellow bell peppers, and dried cranberries.

What I love best about this salad is I only ever get what is on sale so it turns out slightly different everytime and is so nutricous and delicious.
