Not really, store bought products contain very high salt and sugar levels, pizza sauce in particular Home-made sauce can be healthier but pizza in general isn't a very healthy meal |
newest studies show that salt isn't unhealthy like we all thought over the last 50 years or so. saw some tv shows in germany about studies from belgium and i think uk. in reality, it's a big fault to eat too less salt. we germans eat 12g salt on average (6g was recommended here) and for example the us guidelines recommended only 2.5g per day which is a big fault. for example here is a english site about that:

the problem of the past was they only tested it over a few weeks or so and then it wasn't good for us because the body couldn't "work" against it but over the long-term studies it shows clearly that salt isn't so bad for us. the body learns to live with it but the body can't learn to live with too less salt.
they still say that people who have heart problems should not eat too much salt but this super low 2.5g recommendation is stupid and worse for the body than a normal consume. if you don't have health problems salt will do nothing to you.
biggest joke is a study from 1972 where some american scientists tested it with rats and they got heart problems then. but they gave them the amount of salt if we humans would eat the same projected onto us we would have to eat half an pound per day lol
