Portioning guidance

Portion out a reference plate for each meal size to guide your portioning: 

  • Years 0 to 3 – 1 143g slice of pizza, ½ apple. 
  • Years 4 to 8 – 1 215g slice of pizza, ½ apple. 
  • Years 9 and above – 1 322g slice of pizza. 

Special diet substitution ideas#

  • Vegetarian: omit ham. Increase cheese to 40g per serve. Add 20g per serve of plant-based meat alternative such as Plan*t plant-based chick*n or lentils for Years 9 and above. If using lentils add to the sauce rather than on top of the pizza. 
  • Vegan: use plant-based cheese.  Replace ham with plant-based alternative such as Plan*t plant-based ground mince in the following quantities: 
    • Years 0 to 3 – 45g
    • Years 4 to 8 – 60g
    • Years 9 and above – 75g
  • Halal: use halal certified cooked chicken instead of ham. 
  • Dairy (cow's milk): use plant-based cheese, increase the total quantity of ham or alternative protein used for each year group to: 
    • Years 0 to 3 – 30g
    • Years 4 to 8 – 40g
    • Years 9 and above – 50g
  • Gluten (wheat): use gluten-free buns instead of pizza bases.
