Selected BEST Pizza by the Diabetic Educators(9/05)
With our High Fiber Thin Crusts and with the addition of Inulin Fiber there is NO RISK of Sugar Spike!
The Inulin fiber is unique because it serves the digestive system not only as an excellent water carrier to the lower intestine but also becomes a probiotic nutrient for the natural coating bacteria. Fiber absorption through the upper intestine is almost non-existent therefore eliminating the sugar spikes that are normally associated with the bodies metabolizing of pizza.
Below is a statement from Dr Tom Raifi:
My love affair with AC LaRocco is personal...I LOVE pizza! BUT, I'm also a metabolic nutrition, weight management expert. So I've found just about every healthy, tasty comfort food option that exists. With my skills, I've successfully beaten back the demons of type 2 diabetes and overweight. I know better than most the important balance of food choices it takes to do so.... AC LaRocco is a RARE find where great pizza taste comes without all the guilt! In my opinion, as both a serious "foodie" and expert in nutrition - AC LaRocco is THE best example of how pizza can fit into a healthy lifestyle! PERIOD. (Dr. Tom Raifi Board Certified Physician Nutrition Specialist & Profesor of Medicine)

I recently purchased a frozen tomato and feta A.C. Larocco pizza. I had never tried it before, never heard of your company, but was drawn to the package while looking for quick meal option that was not full of preservatives and sodium. Needless to say I was quite impressed with the quality and flavor of your frozen pizza. I decided to check out your website and am even more pleased with your products, my father is diabetic AND quite picky, and I love how you take the time to address diabetics on your website. I do not know of many product websites that do that – in fact I do not know of any unless they are specifically tailored for diabetics. I purchased a garlic chicken parmesan pizza for him to try and he loved it and his sugar levels did not go through the roof! Thank you for a quality product that I can trust to feed my family!
