When we get takeout, we have salad I put together. Usually the restaurants just give ya old iceberg
No added starches here. I'm one for rounding out a meal, like with hot wings for instance

A big salad, & occasionally buffalo wings or legs prepared just like wings minus the skin.

If we have a side dish, it's salad. Though, usually, pizza is one of my easy meals (either takeout or homemade), so it's just the pizza.

Cut up veggies or a salad. Sometimes just the pizza depending how many toppings I use that day. Spinach, onions, chives, broccoli, red peppers and sauce make a pretty nice pizza!

I see what some people are saying about garlic bread and fries being yet more starchy foods on top of the pizza, and I guess the reason we sometimes have those instead of a side salad or onion rings, is that we used to always go to this pizza place every week (instead of doing home-made pizza meal) and they always had garlic bread and fries as side dishes for the pizza meal....so now I guess we're just used to it and it never seems like too much starchy food.

I do like the idea of chicken wings as a side someone mentioned, I'll try that next time.

Salad or cut up veggies. Sometimes fruit.

If we do get pizza out, we almost always get hot wings.

We usually order a gorgeous salad to go along with our pizza and it comes with the most delicious homemade ranch dressing. Or we'll get a pint of homemade minestrone. Delish!

If I were to leave it up to my boyfriend, he would order a pizza from one place and some wings from Hooters. That'd be his ideal pizza meal.

Though I do love a greek salad alongside, Dh doesn't so much and it's redundant anyhow(we like loads of veggies on pizza)

Salad or plates of raw veggies. Whatever is on hand.

Usually a Caesar salad, sometimes garden... otherwise veggies and hummus/other dip.

On another note, this thread made me really want hot wings.

Occasionally salad or garlic bread, but usually we just eat the pizza.

We just have it by itself. If I do homemade it's pretty healthy though - thin wholemeal crust and lots of onion, capsicum, tomato paste, pineapple, ham, cheese, herbs etc on top. Not a lot of greens, but not an atrocious meal...

Usually, just pizza this time of year. In another month or so when we have greens coming out our ears we'll have salads with nearly every meal.

Breadsticks, sometimes salad.

Once in awhile those little fried chicken tenders from Papa John's.
