Does anyone know of any low cal pizza recipes? (Other than cauliflower crust). I miss pizza and I'm getting desperate. (Not desperate enough to binge. Just enough to make me cranky LOL). Please and thank you. Hope everyone is doing well.

You can switch to tortilla shells as a crust, use the packaged thin crust pizzas. I personally like to take a large portabello mushroom cap and fill with meat sauce and top with mozzarella and bake. Eggplant and zucchini work well too just bake them alone for a few minutes to pull out some of the moisture, top with your favorites then bake.0

Use a whole wheat pita from the deli section. Bake it at 350 with olive oil and some garlic powder for 5 minutes, then add your sauce and toppings, measure them out, you will use less than you think, bake for ~ 15 minutes at 350/ roasted chicken is good or turkey pepperoni, 2% cheese, lots of vegetables0

Whether right or wrong... I plan to eat pizza once a month. I eat 2-3 slices ( depending if we got a large or small pizza) and enjoy every bit of it. I make sure I have a good workout that morning and the day after. I don't over do it because I know I can have it next month.
It really has worked for my husband and I. It was the only take out I couldn't give up. I would rather workout extra and have the good stuff. I enjoy it more now.
With that said I am open to someone's suggestions for a healthier version.
Sorry I didn't help you!!!0 -
http://www.sandyskitchenadventures.com has quite a few low cal and low carb options. She has a Cauliflower crust pizza, but you can use tortillas or pitas like mentioned above. If you want something a little smaller, I have made them out of English muffins. They were great!

Maybe not exactly what yer looking for, but I've been loving triscuit mini pizzas, good yet so easy... 7-8 regular sized triscuits, dab of pizza sauce & pizza seasoning on each, and then pieces of low fat string cheese and microwave for 30 seconds.0

That is an incredible idea. I bet my daughter would LOVE that! Thank you!0 -
I have 2 teenage boys and started doing these pizzas, after tasting them I would never ever buy shop bought pizza again as the flavour is so lovely and fresh!
My eldest son has currently lost 34lb since October and is now a size 30 inch waist, he is at university and makes these pizzas as part of his healthy eating and loves them

I've also tried the Italian pita bread as a crust for my pizza. I pre-bake it for about 10 minutes then added prego pizza sauce, pepperoni, sautéed veggies, ricotta cheese, and a table spoon of mozzarella. I then baked it for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese was bubbly. It was delish!0

I use flat bread as the dough and laughing cow cheese as the " sauce"....yum!0
-
as others have mentioned i use a pita bread for the crust make my own sauce from crushed tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. fits the bill without breaking the bank
ive also found that grated my own mozzarella cheese is better than buying the pre-shred i don't know why but its better...
or I've also made my own pizza crust in a bread maker.0 -
i don't know about you but i could not do a tortilla for my crust...but to each their own great if it works!0

My husband and I split a small pizza once a week, I just make sure we have extra veggies on it if we get sausage or we eat a vegetarian one.
Having said this, I love the suggestions on here. I will try some of them.0 -
I used to use pita bread, but just switched to flat bread. I use Ragu homestyle sauce and kraft fat free mozzarella cheese.0

Lots of ideas for protein pizza bases here at protein pow
http://proteinpow.com/category/food-category/protein-pizza
I made one this on here.
http://proteinpow.com/2014/11/spicy-chicken-protein-pizza-gluten-free.html
252 calories and 28g of protein in the base. Tasted okay (not as good as the white flour version) and it was veeerrrryyyy filling compared to a normal pizza base.0 -
Lavash is great as the crust as well0

I've been using light or whole grain English muffins, toasted for a minute first. Top with a bit of whatever pizza sauce you like (I think I used Prego) orrrr my favorite is just topping with a bit of olive oil and minced garlic - either one is good. Top with fresh mozzarella, basil, tomatoes or turkey pepperoni, baked for 5-6 minutes then I turn up the broiler to make the cheese super bubbly. I don't have calorie info off the top of my head but I can put it together for you if you'd like.0
