Tip for fellow pizza addicts

I eat school pizza. Easy portion control because we only get one piece. If we get more, we're charged extra. Plus, it's actually really good for school pizza!0

I do understand!! My solution was to make my own english muffin pizzas. Not quite like a regular pizza but very good and easy to portion out, Yummy!!

Mxmkenny sounds good! I've done w ezekiel bread and with tortillas but not pita. I'll have to try it!0

Okay, enough with the not-pizza recipes.0

I give pita pizzas credit at least as being basically a calzone if prepared properly.0

I usually go to a place where I can get it by the slice. I get real pizza and there is none left over in the house for me to binge on. I'll also buy all of the regular pizza ingredients and the smaller crusts to help with portion control. I refuse to make something that isn't pizza and pretend that it's pizza. That just tastes like sadness.0

I'm addicted to pizza, could eat it every day. I can usually control myself and have only a couple slices, unless I've been drinking in which case I want to be a pizza black hole and absorb all the pizza in the world. If there is leftover pizza in my fridge, that's just, no - I will eat it all post-haste, cold, warm, hot, I don't care.
I've discovered that the optimal strategy for me is to buy a large pizza when I'm totally sober and just kind of want pizza, eat a slice or two, and then freeze the rest. Amazingly this works, I can leave it alone until I'm desperate for pizza, at which point I take out only the amount that is calorically responsible to eat and put it in the over to re-heat. It makes it a lot harder to impulse eatallthepizzabecausepizza, and I don't need to spend 3 hours making it from scratch or order delivery for way too much money and eat too much because it's right there. This probably sounds neurotic, but I'm willing to bet that there are other moderate-drinker-pizza-freaks on a budget out there who may want to give this a try, it sounds so simple and obvious but...okay maybe it is, but it's a greatly victorious strategy.
I think that is a good solution if it works for you
an extreme version of this is to have kids, then you can steal a slice of their pizza
also simply results in portion control

I love pizza, im treating myself to one when ive lost my first stone! Cant control myself to just eat one slice so dont bother eating it at all. I miss it soooomuch! Argh!0

I LOVE PIZZAAAA!!! But it's definitely a problem! So I will only eat it once in a while and after looking up the nutrition value, well I am not so willing to eat a few slices anymore. But it is definitely one of the hardest things I have to deal with in regards to out of control eating!0

I make my own pizzas with Flat-Out light wraps as the crust...get my fix but a lot less calories0
-
Even if I am completely stuffed, if someone brings a pizza around, I'm eating again.
I can literally eat pizza until I throw up, and then go back for more.
I want to drown in pizza.
That and wine are why I'm fat, haha! Thanks for the tip.0 -

I have made this same wonderful discovery about freezing leftover pizza, but my reheating has all been done in the microwave, which is not the best method.
Would you please share your reheating instructions using the conventional oven? Thanks!

I generally make my own pizza (4 years of working at Sbarro through college), so I can control how much of anything calorie dense goes into it (oil, cheese, dough). I usually do a large pizza for the two of us, where we eat get two slices plus salad!, and then do the same with the leftovers for a quick lunch on busy weekends. It's "cheating" but it's controlled.
I'm actually making a white pizza this weekend. Exciting stuff!0 -
rehab is always an option ...0

I could eat pizza for every meal, every day. Portion control is definitely key to addicts. Pizza alternative recipes are great and all, but it still isn't pizza. If I deprive myself of pizza for a long period of time, I'll binge and eat a whole pie! So, it's ok to treat yourself every now and then as long as you don't overdo it.0

We have made pizza with a homemade crust of wheat flour and greek yogurt. We've also made a crustless pizza, using cream cheese, parmesan cheese and egg to make a crust-like bottom. You just have to eat that one with a fork. Its not a bread crust, but its cheese so its not all bad0
