    I know I want cheese of course....and some form of meat??? Spinach and mushrooms....

    What would you do for dough? What kind of meat would be best? Turkey Sausage?? What about cheese...since most times mozzarella is the best.

    The only pizza recipe I've tried is this:

    Preheat oven to 350F
    Buy some whole wheat pitas, spread with 1/4 cup sauce, 1/2 cup mozz. cheese, some sliced onions and green peppers and whatever other toppings you want. Then bake for 15ish minutes, until all the cheese is melted and starting to brown a bit.

    I always make homemade pizza with delicious homemade dough. The real stuff. And just eat extra well the day before and after.
    My kids like pizza on tortilla shells. I guess you could use those low carb tortillas to make pizza.

    I use those low carb tortillas (La Tortilla Factory) and bake the tortilla alone for 3 minutes @ 350. Then take it out and put on the (ragu homemade style pizza quick) sauce, cheese, and toppings (pepperoni for me) and then bake for another 5-7 minutes.

    With the amount of cheese/sauce I use it's 420 calories for the whole thing.

    >.< I think that's why I could eat a bowl of spaghetti sauce all by itself....I don't need the pasta just a bowl of meat sauce sprinkled with cheese....yummy! xD I think that has a lot to do with my weight -coughcough-

    I recently made a "pizza" of sorts....no dough though! I used a portabella cap (sprayed with olive oil first) and filled it with toppings. Turkey pepperoni, turkey sausage, onion, jalapeno, and fat free mozzarella. Then baked it at 350 for 15 minutes...yummmmy!

    While it depends on what you consider low cal but here is my recipe.
    3 cups unbleached flour
    1 Cup of water
    1 package yeast
    1T olive oil
    mix and kneed well let rise until double pat out very thin in one or 2 baking sheets let rest and rise for about 30 minutes

    top with tomato sauce that I have added oregano to. I use Hunts, add seasonings to your taste

    top with 2 cups low fat mozzarella cheese
    and 1 ounce of Parmesan cheese

    2- 1/8's pieces = around 560 calories depending on the cheese you use. I cut the pizza into 8 slices

    Does the mushroom make up for the bread? haha I love mushrooms but I love my carbs too!

    Great! That's not too bad!! I can use this recipe on a real splurge kind of day when I want more than two slices haha
