Craving for pizza?

I had pizza last night. I made it with a dough ball made from a wild yeast starter, with oil, sauce, pepperoni and mozz on top, cooked on an iron plate at 500 degrees. It was perfect. The dough ball was a little large so the calories worked out to 602, but I'm not actually complaining about it. It was perfect.2

I baked it at 350 for about 15 mins and omg it was amazing. The whole pizza comes out to only 633 calories and I'm not gonna lie, I ate the whole thing. It was very satisfying
Naan is as caloric as regular pizza crust. So not exactly a good alternative.
Heh, much more so, IMO, as it usually has more fat. It's great, but I wouldn't personally use it for pizza, but splurge on it when eating Indian.I'd rather have a slice or two of really good pizza once in a while than be able to eat all of the quasi-crap I can stuff into myself every day.
Totally agree, but for 633 I could also have a normal home-made pizza of dinner size, 2-3 slices of a good thin crust pizza from a local Italian place (again a lunch/dinner size), or even an extremely filling amount of some Chicago-style or other deep dish pizza.
A slice of this is 370 calories (it's not my favorite stuffed pizza, haven't actually had it in ages, but it's quite filling and on the right occasion (sometimes they bring it in at work) I'd not turn it down -- they use a lower cal cheese although you can't tell):

You could use a tortilla or pita bread as a quick pizza crust.1

I get the lean cuisine pizza and put them in the toaster oven. They are pretty good and its 410 calories for the pepperoni.0

That looks fun!0 -
Pita is the closest to a regular crust that I've tasted. I make them for my kid when we're rushing or if she has friends over and I don't want to waste food on them 1

I've been making pizza's on joesph's lavash bread. 60 calories, 6 grams of protein for half a slab which is about the size of the inside of a toaster oven.
Add 1/4 cup of classico pizza sauce (40), 1/4 cup low fat mozarella (100), and 3 oz chopped grilled chicken (120), toss it in the oven at 450 for 5-7 minutes and we're in business for 320 calories.2 -
A for effort.0

Thin crust gives an awesome crunch to the pizza too. Honestly, unless it's a crust like Pizza Hut, I don't feel like thicker crust adds anything worth the calories over.quiksylver296 wrote: »

I don't do well with flour type stuff (indigestion) so I make pizza type thing over cauliflower rice. I LOVE cauliflower rice -- makes a nice base to all kinds of stuff, makes a great soufflé mixed with egg whites, etc. etc.0

This is what I do, too. Because let's face it - the crust is merely the delivery vehicle for the yummy toppings.
