I started MFP about 5 weeks ago and have been doing really well. I just miss pizza!!! My daily intake is 1200 calories, and I'm hoping someone has a recipe for low cal healthier pizza where you can eat more than 1 piece without sacrificing like ALL the calories haha. I know this is about making sacrifices, and I'm willing, but I'm sure someone out there has a great recipe
Thanks guys!

If you order from a regular place like pizza hut or something..get thin crust, it's WAY less calories. OR you can look around in the recipe forum, search califlower pizza and there is a recipe that sounds quite fabulous. Also try checking on sparkrecipes.com for low calorie pizza.
I would also recommend looking for Flat-out artisan flatbread, you can use these to get your own ingredients and make a wonderfully tasty pizza ala-you! I hope this helps, I freaked at first, but there is many ways to still have it without using all of your calories.0 -
Buy a whole wheat or multigrain crust from your grocery store, tomato sauce (watch sugar and sodium here), part skim mozz, and as many veggies as you want (spinach, peppers, mushrooms, broccoli, onions, etc.) A homemade pizza with veggies and a healthy crust can be low cal and diet friendly.0

Pizza's a big weakness for me too. You know what I do? I eat it. No more than once a week and I try to get thin crust and healthy toppings. Deprive yourself too much and you'll go off the deep end and shame-eat a pizza hut buffet.
Moderation my friend. Because if you can't live like this you won't stay like this.0 -
As mentioned above:
English muffin, pasta sauce, cheese. I ate these alot as a child and I still love them.0 -
Workout, earn some calories, and eat pizza occasionally.0

a large slice of cheese pizza is about 200 calories. WHY is this an issue? I also make pizzas on NAAN indian bread. Makes a good crust, and then use Trader Joes Roasted Garlic Marinara, fresh mozz, and fresh basil. YUM0

I make my own.
Crust is super simple: http://www.pizzacrustyeast.com/
Fleischmann's Pizza Crust Yeast - no rise - simple
1 3/4 - 2 1/4 cups of flour
1 envelope Fleischmann’s® Pizza Yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup of very warm water (120° to 130° F)
3 tablespoons oil (can use less)
Combine 1 cup flour, undissolved yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add water and oil. Mix together until well blended; about 1 minute. Add ½ cup flour gradually until dough forms a ball. Add additional flour, if needed, to handle. Spoon dough out of bowl onto floured surface. Dough will be slightly sticky. Knead on floured surface. Knead until dough is smooth and elastic; about 4 minutes.
Press dough out to fill greased pizza pan. Top as desired with pizza sauce, cheese and toppings. Bake on bottom oven rack at 425° for 12 to 15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and crust is brown.
**** Use whole wheat flour if you like & roll the dough really thin. Toppings - turkey pepperoni is much lower in fat. Use less cheese. Add more veggies. Yum!0 -

OMG THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!
ALSO..it honestly won't kill you if you just lat yourself have a normal piece of pizza once in a while. Just don't eat the whole pizza..hehe. I am guilty of that prior to this site. Seriously though. usually on the weekend, I eat whatever and stay within or REAL close to calories allowed, and I have kept losing this entire time. I have only been here a month and 1 week. YOU CAN DO IT, just easier with options.0 -

Yes. Or make your own dough with your own ingredients, cook only what you will eat in one sitting, top with sauce, light on the cheese, mega veggie toppings, reserve the rest of the dough in individual portions in the freezer for next time.0 -

This is very true, this isn't a diet its a healthy lifestyle and everything is allowed, just in moderation!!!0 -
I toast a light english muffin, top it with low-cal pasta sauce, low fat cheese, and pop it in the oven at 400 degrees for about 10 min. It tastes AMAZING!0

You can always make your own or Digiorno has 200 calorie pizza portions.0

ok, i now love you! the one food i have missed since starting this addiction...its been a long time, too long...thank you!0 -
if you have a Papa Murphy's in town, their de-lite (extremely thin crust) options are very tasty and easily managed calorie wise. get cheese or veggie for max bang for your buck.0

Agree! Agree! Agree!0 -
Just go get a slice of pizza now and then. I find that if I order a whole pizza, I will eat a whole pizza. However, if I get a slice for lunch with a salad w/ fat free dressing, I have a 400-calorie lunch that makes me happy. Happier thaan eating the whole thing too!0

Once in a while, you just need pizza. I have pizza now and then - just a whole lot less than I used to.
Sometimes I can satisfy the craving with a flatbread pizza. The Flat-out brand wraps are great for that. If you go easy on the cheese (which you have to with such a thin crust), it's only a couple hundred calories.
I usually quarter pepperoni slices too that way there are more bits to spread around giving each bite a taste of pepperoni and still using just a few slices for the whole flatbread pizza.
Good luck!0
