    just eat 1 slice of pizza or maybe half depending on the size of the slice. I usually will eat something else low calorie with it. ie. a can of green beans or 1 cup of broccoli. oh and i chew really slowly and enjoy every bite.

    I looooveeee pizza - I may try making my own, but usually I just buy Chigago Town thin & crispy pizzas. They're small and there are 2 in a pack. For the cheese topped ones they're 272 each - so not bad!

    I use a whole wheat pita - I like thick crust so this gives me the thicker taste I like!

    I am Italian and LOVE pizza!! I have a way to make it look, feel and taste great. I don't like thin crust so much and not sure about the pitta breads and stuff. When I want pizza, i am going to EAT pizza. But really there is not many bad things to pizza. It depends on what you are using to make it and your toppings. Honestly the sauce, dough and cheese are the baddies on pizza. But best thing to do is... eat less of it.

    Here is how to make it the way I do.

    I get basic pizza dough at the store. You can use wheat dough too if you can find it. Both taste yummy. I prefer regular pizza dough.
    Next I use a tiny bit of sauce. About 2 table spoons. I spread it across the dough just to add color. I use a store bought organic tomato sauce.
    Put your dough on the pan. Make a nice circle out of it if you can. I like my dough thick so I don't spread it out too much. ;) I know this is bad of me but i only eat one slice of this thing. I mean it's very filling lol.

    Next... you want FRESH mozzarella. Nothing else! Cut it into chunks. Try not to snack on it before placing it on the pizza. I do this and it's bad. lol

    Now, i like my vegi's. But what really taste great together is chopped onions, red and green pepper. Toss those on that pizza and watch the colors just pop. Put it in the oven at 425 for 25 minutes.

    When you pull it out, let it set for a short bit to cool, cut and serve. You will be biting into one delicious gooey ooey pizza. ;) No need to order out or eat like rabbit. Pizza can be made fresh without adding any oils. Try to stay away from pepperoni... now THAT is bad for you if you are trying to lose weight lol.

    This pizza tastes fresh and if eaten in small portions will be something you will want to make every now and again when pizza craving kicks in. Cheers luvs.
