    I love pesto sauce on pizza. Top it with mozzarella and some portobello mushrooms. Yum!

    I second this!

    I actually love pizza without sauce. My favorite pizza is just buffalo mozzarella, fresh tomatoes, and fresh basil. Drizzle of olive oil over the top and some chili flakes. It's perfection to me.

    bbq sauce!


    No .....not really a good idea. Most BBQ sauce has tomato PLUS additional acid added ...like lemon juice. I have a low tolerance for acid too. I do eat red sauce pizza ....light sauce, less spicy. Typically 1/3 the usual pepperoni and I'm good to go. I had to experiment a little... maybe you tolerate acid less than I do (even).

    Find your triggers .......onion, garlic, chili powder (OK - not most pizza), and pepper can all be triggers for acid re-flux. My homemade sauce is simple......basil, oregano, garlic (small amount), a bit of sugar (rosemary sometimes) ....no onion. Any kind of sausage is a big no-no for me.

    i am in the same boat as i cannot have acidic foods due to a bladder disorder and acid reflux.
    there's an otc called prelief that you take with acidic food or drink, it works pretty well and takes the acid out of foods.

    i make a roasted red pepper sauce as an alternative to tomato sauce.

    take 4-6 red peppers and roast them in the oven. let them steam in a bag, peel off the charred skin and then puree. add spices like garlic, oregano, onion powder. transfer to a pan and add vegetable broth (i make my own stock without tomatoes) and a little water until it is a sauce consistency. bring to a boil.

    adding baking soda can also reduce the acid, you can make a white pizza or pizza with an alfredo sauce or pesto sauce. peppers aren't a trigger for me nor is garlic but each person varies
