If you’re weight conscious, could pizza really be a healthy choice?
A contestant on NBC’s The Biggest Loser chose her favorite pizza restaurant for healthy food right here in Tucson.
The crew from The Biggest Loser filmed for 2 1/2 hours at the locally owned and operated Vero Amore. The exact date that the show will air is a wild card, but tune in either Tuesday, Nov. 13 (tonight!) or Tuesday, November 20.
Vero Amore makes their own mozzarella fresh daily and puts just the right amount on their Neapolitan thin crust pizzas. They have many vegetarian options and make everything from scratch without any preservatives, artificial colors, flavorings or processed foods. People not only go for the Neapolitan pizza, but also for their organic salads, with fresh home made dressings.
I wonder how much of the 2 1/2 hours of filming will be shown. My curiosity may get the best of me, and I’ll have to tune in.
Vero Amore is one of my favorite pizza joints. What’s yours?

I second that. Vero Amore rocks!
Would the owners of Vero Amore, the Mussman brothers pipe up here and give us the scoop about how and why and when this all happened?
Tucson’s pizza eating public deserves to know!
I wish I had an entertaining story for you all, but the truth is NBC is extremely secretive about the show. About a month ago I got a call from Hollie’s best friend Antone saying she won a challenge and would get to come home for 24 hours. They asked if it would be okay if they came to the restaurant with a camera crew and who am I to say no right? 🙂 So they came later that same day and filmed for a while and after hours and hours of taping they used about 30 seconds of it on the show. I’ve known that Hollie was gonna be on The Biggest Loser for a while now, but the details of her progress are on lockdown and her family barely even knows whats going on. It’s nice to see someone from Arizona representing us and coming to the independent restaurants instead of going to Subway like everyone else does…
