Low Carb Thin Crust Pizza

So ever since I first started dieting and doing a Low Carb diet I've been on a quest to make two low carb alternatives. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and a pizza. I finally had some success with the pizza tonight and thought I'd share. Before you get all excited I should note two things. One, this is for a low carb diet so it may or may not meet your caloric or fat needs. It's not that bad but it may not be good for you. Two, don't expect it to be exactly like a real pizza, but as a pizza lover who considers pizza to be his biggest weakness I must say it turned out pretty good.
It's actually quite simple. You need:
1 La Tortilla Low Carb, High Fiber Tortilla (I used the small size for a more snack sized or small appetite sized pizza)
2 spoonfuls Walden Farms Tomato and Basil Pasta Sauce (0 fat/cal/carbs; havent tried on pasta but was good enough on pizza)
1/2 Cup (2 servings) Kraft 2% Shredded Mozzerella Cheese
7 slices (about 1/2 serving) Wilsons Turkey Pepperoni.
Essentially just preheat your overn to 375. Construct pizza using the tortilla as the crust. It took me about 5-10 minutes to cook but just keep an eye on it until the cheese is golden brown and it looks cooked. I used a pizza stone so if you cook it on a cookie tray it may cook slower. Enjoy and let me know what you think (even if you hate it haha)
Heres my final product:

Edit: Forgot to post the nutritional facts. This works out to be 225 calories, 14g fat, 23g protein, and 4 net carbs (11 total carbs - 7 fiber)
