    I don't seem to get fat from pizza, but bloated from the wheat crust, due to a gluten sensitivity, so when i can get gluten-free pizza, I feel less fat than when I get regular, even if I have the same or more calories with the gluten-free. Everyone's mileage may vary, but I just enjoy it when I have it and make sure not to have a big fat calorie day from other sources that day--

    I don't make any modifications... just eat fewer slices at a time and you're good to go.

    Turns out that 2 slices of my favorite pizza is only about 500 calories, anyway, so no big whoop.

    We still have pizza at least every 2 weeks. I make it at home so I make a whole wheat crust. I portion it out to make personal pizzas. I load mine up with all sorts of veggies.

    I work at pizza hut, so i eat A LOT of pizza. I've lost over 20lbs all together. If you just make sure to fit into your calories and eat a balanced diet, I don't really see the big deal.

    Tortilla and whole wheat pizzas are my favorites. Add lean meats with your favorite vegeys! Have fun with it! I make a Green bay packers pizza with green and yellow bell peppers! Go Pack Go! My wife and I lightly spreat extra virgin olive oil on the crust with a little pizza sauce.

    :heart: This! GO PACK!

    I eat pizza once a week with the kids. I'm just more careful about my toppings and stop at 2 slices instead of 4, skip the breadsticks/cheesebread and drink water instead of Pepsi.

    my wife and I have pizza and beer on our "date" night every Friday. I have the domino's medium thin crust with ham and bacon. Its about 360 calories per .25 of a pizza. I use my exercise calories throughout the week for my weekend binges and finish within my weekly calorie goals. All about planning =)

    I can't eat anything like that over and over again. I'd start to hate it if I had it once a week. I like making my own at home with whole wheat crust. Love topping it with pesto, veggies and goat cheese. It doesn't really taste like delivery pizza though and it's more expensive (premade pesto is ridiculously expensive WHYYYYYYYYYYY).

    I LOVE CHEESE! But I'm finding that as I grow older, I'm becoming more lactose intolerant.

    Suggestions anyone? I'd almost rather die than give up cheese.
