    When I want pizza, I make sure I can fit it into my calorie goal by eating lots of low cal foods the rest of the day (lots of veggies). However, if you want a pizza that's relatively healthy, try making your own. I used to get whole wheat pita bread, spread some pizza sauce on top, load it with some cheese and lots of veggies and pop in the oven till the cheese is melty. Yum!

    Making your own is the best way to go.

    Pizza isn't always high calorie, but it tends to be sky high in sodium. It can also contain a lot of fat, depending on topping choices. Just enjoy whatever you decide, get a little workout time in, and drink plenty of water. You could also try eating some salad or vegetables before hand so you feel fuller without eating more pizza than you want.

    1/4 of a pizza is only 2 pieces...if it's a normal size pizza. We really like pizza, but I usually make it at home because then I can use my own ingredients (including whole wheat for the crust) and know exactly how many calories I'm eating. I know Papa John's offers whole wheat crust and a lot of their pizzas are already listed in the MFP database. Also, try looking up the websites to the pizza places in your area. A lot of restaurants have their nutrition facts available online, so that might help you pick a place and what kind of pizza to get.

    Make your pizza using tortillas. I broil a tortilla on one side, flip it, add the sauce veggie and a little bit of cheese and then broil that side. Really yummy!

    I was actually surprised to discover that most pizza seems to be around 300-350 calories per slice. I just bought a Papa's BBQ chicken pizza yesterday for a girl's night with a friend and it is 350 calories but (as a previous poster mentioned) it's got like 700mg of sodium. I just paired it with healthier choices throughout the day and I was still below my caloric limit.

    When I use to eat that pizza i was on WW, and it would be 10 to 12 points for it. When my daily points were 18. 300 per slice sounds more reasonable to me. The sodium wouldn't be bad if you didn't have much sodium through out the day. But now I don't eat wheat anymore, (Or shouldn't be anyways) so dont usually have pizza.

    Pizza is my weakness :( I will opt to make it home made with lots of mushrooms. The sodium in the conventional brand pizza's wreak havoc, not to mention all the cholestrol :/ It's not hard for me to eat like 6 slices, especially after running for 2 hours. UGH I love pizza.

    GOOD luck on your pizza ventures.:smile:

    flatouts are great for making your own pizza too. just toast it up before you put the sauce and cheese on...they are only 100 calories for the flatout and you can use turkey pepperoni :) OR load it with veggies. The kids and I are having that tomorrow night. :) good luck!

    There's a Cauliflower based pizza that you can make. The recipe is on this website somewhere in the forums. i've made it a few times before. it's a little strage at first not to have the same taste to the base (because the base is made only of Cauliflower, egg and cheese) but it's an awesome substitute when you cna eat a whole 9 inch pizza for the less than 400 calories (obviously that depends on exactly what you put on it... But you get the point)

    So if you're interested have a search for it on the recipes forum. :)

    I'm going to have to check that out. I'm on a new plan where I'm trying to avoid all grains and starchy foods. So I basically get all my carbs from veggies and fruit...with the occasional treat like last night's pizza. However, if I could make a pizza dough from cauliflower, egg, and cheese I could have pizza every night! :-)

    We had homeade pizza tonight. Exactly this way...but we tried grilling it instead. Yummy!

    Oh my, all this pizza talk is making me crave it so badly! I haven't had it since Super Bowl. I have a bag of pitas in my fridge so perhaps I will make mine own! What kind of pizza sauce do you guys use on your own? I've had the Lean Cuisine pepperoni pizza, it was pretty tasty and 380 calories.

    I have pizza once a week, but I make my own. I have a healthy whole wheat crust recipe, low sugar sauce, low fat cheese, etc...and the whole darn thing is under 600 calories. No crappy pita bread or otherwise fake pizza crusts for me...and I save the money and calories from not going out to a pizza place.
