If you miss pizza, this is a great substitute.

So glad the toasting idea was shared... that is something that never occurred to me... definitely gonna be a fix for my sometimes soggy crust
If I'm using a flat out or a pita, sometimes it also helps to preheat a cookie sheet in the over until it's very hot, throw the bread on it, and toast it from there.
Thanks

Didn't think of that. Thx!0 -

I toast mine in a skillet (dry) like I do tortillas for burritos.0 -

That works too.

lol You guys. Always so positive. Of course real pizza is 100x better. And of course if you'd prefer the real deal no need to look at my post. But this recipe is for those like myself, who can't order a pie and stop at 1 or 2 slices. Also great for those who don't want to use up 400-700 calories from their daily limit for one meal. It's for those who prefer a healthier, lighter, less greasier option. Thanks though!
Everyone else who left positive feedback, thanks and enjoy!
Not trying to be a hater - the point I'm trying to make is more that I don't think it 'works' to not eat foods that you miss. If you're cutting foods you love out of your diet, ultimately, you'll binge and then be disappointed in yourself. I'm sure what you've made is very tasty, but my point is that I don't think this whole weight loss thing can be permanently successful unless you find a way to allow yourself the foods you love. Sweets are my issue, but over time I've changed how I look at food, as well as learned how to help myself succeed, so I now know how to eat what I love, within reason. This past weekend (I'm a nerd) I had cherry pie and vanilla ice cream for Pi day. I also had bacon with my breakfast. I'm watching my calories every 7 days and made this work on only 1200 daily avg. cals. I've lost over 12 pounds in 9 weeks, and had a healthy BMI at my starting weight. If I can do it, anyone can!
It's great that you make certain foods work for you. But there are lots of people including myself who want to avoid eating takeout pizza. There's nothing wrong with that. Also, yes there are people who might binge if they don't satisfy a certain craving but i'm not one of those people. I started this life change in January and have had not a single issue over eating or bingeing due to not satisfying a craving. Lots of other people like that too.0 -
why are so many of y'all so mean, she was just providing a recipe, YOU CAME TO THIS THREAD, she didn't force you to read her recipe OR make it...as far as I'm concerned she was trying to be helpful and so many people here are just plain RUDE
if you don't like the recipe or want your full-calorie "normal" pizza go ahead! It's your prerogative. But no need to trash her recipe it's not like any of you even tried it so CHILL OUT maybe the people hating on this really do need to eat something
last time I checked it is an open forum and all can comment...
why don't you start a private group and label it "The non pizza lovers substitution gang" or something ...
How'd this get flagged? LULZ
Do you really have to ask? We got us a whole passel of folks deluding themselves into thinking a tortilla and some fat free cheese is a pizza because they also slap a little pizza sauce onto it.
Oh honey.
It says substitute in big black letters at the beginning of the post!
Again people, order yourself a pizza pie if you want, no one is trying to keep you from having real pizza! This is for people who need/want an alternative!
lmao!
This thread delivers--just like Beyonce.
ETA: I'm not your honey, pal.
I'm not your pal, boo0 -

I agree. I realize that some people may have a problem with certain foods so much they binge without them, and if eating a little helps them with that then more power to them. But that doesn't make it true for everyone.
There are foods I love that I never eat. I couldn't swear I never will again, but I haven't eaten them in years because as much as I love them, they simply aren't worth the calories (I'm looking at you cheesecake!).0 -

@hj127 thank you!
And some of these people are the same people that post threads or statuses wondering why the scale isn't moving or inches aren't being lost -___- It is what it is. I know many people whether they posted here or not, will enjoy and benefit from the recipe and that gives me satisfaction
Child please.
I have lost 72 pounds so far eating pizza that I make myself 2-3 times a month. Your insinuation is ignorant and ruder than any other post in this entire thread.
So you keep eating your tortillas and calling them pizza and I'll keep eating real pizza and losing weight.
Good for you, losing that much! I've lost a bit myself, doing what works for ME.
Not everyone wants to make themselves a pizza or order takeout pizza. Some just want a lighter alternative but we should just do it your way cause it's the only right way, yeah? LOL
Rude and ignorant? Dramatic much?
Thank you, I will 0 -

It was pretty rude and ignorant though. And I'm still waiting for an answer to my question.0 -
apparently, I am going to plateau and then post a thread about it, because I eat real pizza...and not OP's magical plateau preventing substitute.
Can you quote me where i said you were going to plateau if you eat the real thing when you have a chance? Thanks

Indeed. You can make broad declarations of what YOU think constitutes pizza lol.

just because you take something and throw sauce and cheese on it does not make it "pizza"....
and you can keep coming to the rescue of all the OPs that you feel are in need of rescue...
lol you missed the part where i said 'substitute' hon
awwww its OK sugar britches...I am sorry that your substitute thread is not going down how you thought it would...
And how do you think i thought it would go down, since you know me so well?
Well you do get offended anytime anyone posts something that isn't exactly what the OP wants to hear....so, there's that...
I'm still waiting for an answer to my earlier question. I'm assuming that you can't answer it.
You were so right about me, can't answer it
Can you let me know what exactly I said that implied I was at all offended? Thanks
Also, please everyone keep these posts coming, trolls included, I am bored as hell at work

why is pizza not healthy?
In the context of overall diet, SOME pizza is not unhealthy. But for those with limited calories, to balance the overall diet pizza may not be something that fits often. And if the diet isn't balanced, it's unhealthy.
yes, I was referring to the blanket statement that it is "unhealthy"
I see you are once again not reading through all the comments before jumping in ...
No, it didn't. It said they prefer a healthier alternative. You changed it to unhealthy.
yea, again, I was not talking to you, I was referring to another poster..but you decided to make this about you...
I chose to make it about the post to which you replied. And to answer your question. If you chose the wrong one ...
yes, you injected yourself into a conversation without fully understanding said conversation, which is something you do all the time.

You are right. I assumed when I shouldn't have. I may be completely wrong or completely right. Here is what I should have said:
some of these people are probably the same people that post threads or statuses wondering why the scale isn't moving or inches aren't being lost
Please don't try to tell me that there aren't people on MFP that underestimate their calorie count daily then go on the forums and ask people why they're not losing weight

Then this is for you!
This is great because it is low calorie. It is 172 calories with pepperoni, 155 calories without.
-1 Market Pantry Carb conscious tortilla 80 Calories
-1 1/4 cup Uncle Steve's arrabiata tomato sauce ( 31 grams if using scale) 30 Calories
-1 1/4 cup fat free Kraft Mozzarella shredded (or 28 grams if you are using a scale) 45 Calories
-optional- Hormel's Turkey Pepperoni, 5 pieces about 17 calories.
Remember to toast the tortilla by itself for about 5 minutes on 350 degrees in conventional over. For more accurate results for sauce and cheese calorie count make sure to use food scale.
that seems like a *kitten* ton of tomato sauce for one tortilla.0 -
