Last night I made a good substitue for pizza at only 325 calories with a salad it made a great meal, thought I'd share it as we are all here for the same reason to change our eating habits.. I used the new Flatout bread...cooked on a sprayed baking sheet at 400 degree's for 8 minutes...I topped it with 1/4 cup Contadina pizza sauce and spinkled with 2 oz. shredded mozzerella cheese, I had sauted muchrooms and onions for my topping along with chopped sundried tomatoes and cooked another 6 or 7 minutes til cheese bubbled, then when I took it out of the oven, I sprinkled with freshly chopped basil leaves from the garden...it was really satisfying and recommend it as a healthy alternative to regular pizza... even my husband loved it .

    This is my friday night treat. Great substitute. Not quite as filling, but it scratches the right itch!

    A few pepperonis or a littls sausage doesn't completely kill the calories either, especially if you go a little easy on the cheese...

    I think it would taste even better cooking it on the grill.. Grilled pizza is the best :)

    I've used the flatouts for pizza. Wheat tortillas also work well. I add veggies, cheese, sauce and turkey pepperoni. I usually keep it within 300-400 range. Filling with a salad on the side. Can't and won't give up pizza!

    Yes! There is an Italian Artisanal variety that has red pepper flakes baked into it. Goes great with a little pizza sauce, a bit of cheese and some turkey pepperoni. Yum!

    I bet it is cheaper to make my own pizza too. I may just try that because vita pizza's are really too high for my budget.

    I make mine own too, but haven't used or tried the flat out bread yet. Is it thick like pizza crust? I make mine out quite a bit, but use high fiber tortillas.

    No, the flatouts are quite thin, and get crispy in the oven.

    Jenni-o hot italian turkey sausage is awesome on pizza and turkey pepperoni is pretty tasty too.
