If you don't want to make your own, Schwan's has a couple of frozen pizzas that use whole wheat crust, roasted veggies and light on the cheese. The nutrition isn't bad at all on them and they taste good. I don't currently have one to look up the nutrition. They will even deliver right to your door. They have a decent website.

Also, pita, tortilla and english muffin pizzas. Ditto to others. Yum.

I have to say, there are certain foods that a can't/won't modify. Pizza is one of those foods. Turkey pepperoni, pita pizza's, cauliflower crusts (?!) Heresy! Go out and get and get your favorite slice. Love your slice, savor your slice, and be satisfied by your slice. Work hard for it at the gym, and don't do it too often. That's my take.

I use whole-wheat pitas with pizza sauce. I chop up fresh veggies and sprinkle about 1/4 cup of skim-milk mozza cheese and bake for about 5 mins.

Now that I've read the above I am going to check out some of these too!

I make my own pita ones that are " good " ....but I have to agree with the poster above....IF you really want your favorite Pizza...then buy it by the slice...have a salad with it if you eat in the Pizza place or take it home and enjoy it or even two slices.
I think that is a fair compromise.
I love Papa Gino's thin crust. They sell 2 slice to take out. I don't have it often but that is what I order if I get it. I could make myself eat a whole Pizza I love it so much. But truly after the first slice the taste never is any better than first one.. if you are eating and tasting consciously and enjoying ...and not just stuffing. (that is the old me)

So go for it... but only take home 2 Slices max. then declare victory!:happy:

1 large low-fat, high-fiber, burrito-size tortilla with about 100 calories (like this kind by La Tortilla Factory)

1/3 cup fat-free ricotta cheese
1 tbsp. shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup thinly sliced onion

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

1/8 tsp. salt, or more to taste
Dash black pepper

4 thin slices plum tomato
4 fresh basil leaves




Preheat oven to 375 degrees.



Put tortilla on a baking sheet sprayed lightly with nonstick spray. Bake in the oven until slightly crispy, 3 - 5 minutes per side. Leave oven on.

In a small bowl, mix ricotta cheese with mozzarella cheese. Set aside.

Bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat on the stove. Add onion and, stirring occasionally, cook until softened and slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Immediately stir onion into cheese mixture. Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and mix well.

Spread cheese-onion mixture evenly on top of the tortilla. Top with tomato slices and basil leaves. If you like, sprinkle with a dash of salt.

Return pizza to the oven and bake until hot, about 5 minutes. Slice and enjoy. Pizza for one!
