PIZZA!! I need Pizza!

pizza is amazing

the best part about it is you can have so many kinds......so you can never be bored of it

when i want my pizza i go all out. i figure giving into one "serious" craving every so often keeps me from eating multiple bad meals while craving one thing.
pizza, mexican, a good burger, and "chicago food" are all things I make exceptions for lol...and Im still losing so I guess I cant be too wrong

This helped break me of my Pizza Hut cravings, so maybe it can help you too... Do a Google search for "pizza hut cheese". It's reportedly not 100% mozzarella... One of my favorite at home pizzas is using a flour tortilla (or whole wheat, low carb, whatever you have around) and putting the sauce, cheese and veggies on top. Bake it in an oven preheated to 450- or 475-degrees for about 6-7 minutes. It helps feed the pizza need. Good luck!

Sometimes I can satisfy my pizza craving by putting a little tomato paste on 2 english muffins then add a little onion, black olives a piece of pepperoni and then sprinkle a little mozzarella........I then broil it for a couple of minutes. It's not pizza, but I do not feel quilty!

Who doesn't love pizza!! Here is a website that sells fat free pizza: http://www.pizzafree.com/home.php

Here is some things to think about with homemade and delivery:

Homemade Pizza

Go where the flavor is. Hard, flavorful cheeses like Parmesan and especially Romano (the freshly grated stuff, not the stuff in the green can) pack a wallop of flavor, so you can use less. Two grated tablespoons contain less than 4 grams of fat, about 2 of them saturated. Just a tiny bit of strongly flavored cheese like blue, Stilton, or feta goes a long way crumbled over salads.

Shred 'em. You'll also use less if you sprinkle on reduced-fat shredded cheese instead of layering on slices.

Be a softie. Some soft cheeses, such as ricotta and goat cheese, are often lower in fat than other cheeses.

Go American. American cheese has just 4 grams of fat per slice and 60 calories, which makes it a great alternative to cheddar.

Delivery Pizza

Order half cheese or no cheese.

Ask for vegetable toppings, with extra vegetables.

Steer clear of stuffed-crust pizzas.

If you must have meat on your pizza, make it chicken or ham, not pepperoni. Or try clams, shrimp, or anchovies.

How would you like to eat not 1 slice, not two slices, but a HALF pizza, GUILT FREE? Here's my guilt free 'Za recipe:

HOMEMADE SUPREMELY AWESOME PIZZA

You can either buy your crust, or make this low sodium one I found:
2 t Active dry yeast
3 1/2 c Bread Flour
1 1/2 c Water
2 t Honey
2 T Olive Oil

Place ingredients in bread machine in order specified by manufacturer and process on dough cycle. Turn out the dough onto a floured board. At this point you may form the pizzas, or refrigerate the dough for several hours, well wrapped in plastic so it won't dry out. (Although a refrigerator rest is not necessary, it makes the dough easier to handle.) Makes enough dough for two 12-inch pizzas, or two 10-inch thick-crust pizzas. Bake at 400 degrees until lightly browned around the edges. Top as desired and return to oven until cheese is melted and crust browned, about 15 minutes total.

You can also buy a pre-made crust and procede with the following recipe:

1 Mama Mary's Thin & Crispy Crust (got ours at walmart), or use the crust recipe above
1 red bell pepper
1 green bell pepper
1 can sliced, pitted olives, rinsed
1 sweet onion
2 Tomatoes
1 Can Pizza Sauce (also got from Walmart, check labels for lowest sodium one!)
1 pack fresh sliced mushrooms (available in produce dept)
1 bag shredded cheese (also check sodium-- tillamook seems to be the best)
1 can pineapple
(You can also add your chicken)

Lay crust on baking sheet. Sauce lightly. Measure 1 cup cheese & sprinkle. Pile up all the yummy things! Sprinkle 1/2 cup cheese on top. Bake as directed on crust package.

Prep time for premade crust: 5 mins
Calorie damage: 700 cals for HALF the pizza! ZOW! Amazing, right? The sodium on this one is a little high, but a real treat. You won't want to get take out again (we sure don't!)
The low sodium crust is higher in cals, but has 25% less sodium.

Here's a super easy pizza recipe. You'll have to choose your own ingredients to figure out the calories and such. You just take English muffins and seperate the top from the bottom. Then just put on pizza sauce and some mozzarella and whatever topping that you'd like. Just pop them in the over until the cheese is all melted. These are soo yummy!!!

oh no not those, they are BS...I mean the ones that if you get 3 theyre $5 a piece. those are different cheese, less cheese, and a healthier crust. I dont like em myself tho

technicalities!
they had a whole wheat pizza with slices of tomato, not sure if its still around tho.
Believe it or not, while waitressing there I got down to like 130. Despite the fact that all the pizza taken off the buffet was brought to the back and I had a personal pan for free every shift.

I love pizza and there is no way I would give it up! This is your life and you need to live it and having food in life that you enjoy is very important. Every Friday night at our house is pizza night and the only place that delivers for a decent price is Dominoes. They have a calorie calculator at their sight that you add you ingredients and you can see the calories in an 1/8 a pizza. Don't totally give up something you love!

i was feeling the same way yesterday....then i made portobello pizzas... i know how they sound...trust me, i thought the same thing...until i ate it! loved it, posted the recipe yesterday.....each one is under 200 calories & tasted delish!

Make a homemade pizza with a tortilla as the crust, and cut back on the cheese, load it with veggies and spinach!

I buy the Pillsury Thin Crust Pizza dough (in refrig, case by the rolls). I roll it out and cut it into 3 pieces. Roll up the 2 that I am not using and refrig for another day. It is not round like a pizza - more like a long rectangle.

I use 1/4 Archer Farmer (from Target) Spicy italian Pizza Sauce, 1/4 cut finely shredded mozz. and 2 Mezzetta Garlic Stuffed green Olives sliced. I sometimes put a half a chicken breast (chopped )on depending on how many calories I have. If you like onions, peppers, mushrooms, you can add but I don't like them. Bake according to the package directions.

It is definitely not Pizza Hut but it satisfies the Pizza craving. I will go check the totals and post.

my fav is a whole wheat pita with 1/4 cup pizza sauce(ragu) and 1/4 cup sargento 4 cheese 2%.. pop it in the over on broil till cheese is melted. it rocks!! the pita gives it a thicker bottom then a tortilla!

Does this work with wheat flour, or have you tried?
