I need healthy pizza option

I make a sort of pizza, with the bottom being a tortilla and a 'healthy' marinara sauce to top it. then i only use vegetables and a just a bit of cheese. Look at the yummly website, there are plenth of examples there.

Thin crust is better. My dietitian begged me to order a cheese pizza, not a fully loaded one. I take two slices, which fits in to my meal plan just fine. I like the Dr. Oetker thin crust pizzas.

I make a pizza with no crust - it's a Skillet Pizza. Here is the link - http://healthylowcarbliving.com/weight-loss/my-dinner-tonight-skillet-pizza/

One note from a guy who used to work in a pizza place: When you order a plain cheese pizza with no toppings, most places use 1.5- or 2-times the cheese. If you're limiting calories, you're better off either asking for light cheese, or 1 topping like onions or peppers that won't add many calories.

Also, I do the tortilla thing. It's fast and easy.

I don't understand why people think pizza is so bad. It has EVERYTHING you need.

If you want it lower in calories, I would get a thin crust and then just try to go light on the cheese and pick a lighter style meat if you must. I think the cheese is what really amps up the calories, but pizza really isn't bad without it, if you have a really good sauce.

Veggie pizza! Yummmmm!!!! Veggies and garlic. Maybe just ease up a little on the cheese, and do a thin crust. Pizza sure has a bad rap - I don't know why. I can get fiber, protein, calcium, and iron, depending on the veggies I put on top.

Pair a delicious pizza with a huge satisfying salad and you have an awesome meal.

I use either a pita for a base or make a cauliflower based crust. It's a bit labour intensive but it actually tastes pretty good. There are recipes for it all over Pinterest.

Anyone know a recipe for lower calorie pizza having a girls night this weekend and friends want pizza . worst food to eat . thanks

Not the worst food to eat...it's just like anything else...eat it in appropriate portions...have a slice or two, not the whole pie.

Personally I like picking up a small dough ball from one of my favorite local pizza joints. Then I concoct a killer sauce and top with some mozarella, hot Italian sausage, pepperoni, black olives, green bell pepper, red onion, mushrooms, and NM green chiles. (I weigh everything out)

1 slice clocks in at around 300 calories...I usually have two slices for a dinner and I don't find a 600 calorie dinner to be anything crazy. For less calories, just watch the cheese and do veg toppings.

Most of my dinners are about 700-1000 calories, and pizza is no exception. I might be a few grams lower on protein on a pizza day, but it's not a diet-buster.

If we make pizza it's pizzadillas.

I use a tortilla and put pesto, spinach and feta on it! sometimes Krab with it yummy.

Explain why you think pizza is the "worst food" to eat. It has a good amount of carbs, fat, and protein, (depending on what toppings you choose) all things that are necessary for a healthy diet. It can be high in calories, sure, but so are lots of naturally-occurring foods, like nuts and avocados. <-- Nobody says they are "the worst foods". And there's nothing wrong with high caloire foods, as long as they fit into your goals. Order a personal pizza, or a single slice, and have lots of vegetables on the side.

My two favorite pizza re-do's are low-carb tortilla pizzas (perfect size for one person in the toaster oven) and english muffin pizzas. The beauty of those are that they are small in size and perfect for portion control. When I do the english muffin version, I use two muffins (220 calories). Spread on a small amount of sauce, mozzarella, italian seasonings and grated parmesan. Add veggies if desired. Cut each muffin into quarters. 16 quarters gives you a decent pizza fix
