I took 4 corn tortillas, put them on a griddle over high heat to get them a little crunchy. Then I put 8 tablespoons pizza sauce, 2 tbls per pizza, a little cheese (1/3 cup divided between the 4) and loaded them with onions, green peppers, mushrooms, and tomatoes. Then I put them in a 425* oven to melt the cheese and crisp-en it up a little more. They were actually really good and satisfied my craving!
How do you kick a pizza craving?

    same here. though i will order an individual sized one, so i don't eat more than i should. i had a margharita pizza last week, a thai chicken one the time before that, and a spicey perogy pizza- it has sliced potatoes, bacon cheese and sour cream...yum!

    but the lower cal homemade ones are yummy too, i like to use half a piece of naan bread as my crust, or those flat breads that are a little thicker and chewy. the bread is the majority of the cals anyways...so make it tasty!

    I'm a fan of thin crust pizza without cheese and loaded with veggies.

    I make my own whole wheat crust, veggie filled pizza! I count the calories in it, and make it DELICIOUS!
