    I have made this one and it is very good. Not as solid as a regular crust, however it is delicious.

    All of the ideas above are great - our one trick that makes pizza taste even better (and a bit more special) is to grill it! We use our gas grill pretty often, but all you have to do is spray your grill with non-stick spray, either use fresh/raw pizza dough or any of the suggestions for pita/flat bread and assemble it right on the grill. Close the top and the cheese will melt while the bottom bakes.
    It's so much better than from the oven!

    Also, experiment with other sauces - we like Thai Peanut, BBQ and Salsa.

    Oh, the other one we've starting making is a mexican EGG pizza... scramble some egg, egg white or egg beaters and use it as your meat on the pizza with salsa, veggies and cheese.... SOOOO GOOD!

    People have already mentioned it but I use whole wheat pitas or Engligh Muffins to make pizzas with. They are delicious!

    Being a cheese-hating household pizza is easy for us, it's just higher in carbs than most of our dinners.

    Try the cali-crust pizza that is posted here on MFP to minimize carbs (haven’t tried it yet though since again, pizza cals aren’t a problem for us, 1/2 a large each is 400 cals and 2g fat) replace pepperoni with cooked chicken breast, put a massive amount of veggies on and greatly reduce the amount of cheese.

    Whole Wheat Flax seed pizza crust

    Ingredients
    2.25 tsp. active dry yeast
    1 c. warm water
    2 c. whole wheat flour
    1/4 c flax seed meal
    1 tsp salt
    1 tbsp honey or brown sugar

    Directions .. you can make 2 smaller pizzas with this ... roll out thin ..
    Mix yeast and honey or brown sugar in warm water. Sprinkle yeast on top. Let sit 10 minutes until foamy. In large bowl, mix flour and flax seed meal with salt. Add yeast mixture. Mix until all flour is incorporated. Knead approx. five minutes. Let rise 20-30 minutes. Roll out, place on pizza pan or stone . poke with fork several times. Bake in 350 degree oven for 5-10 minutes.

    Brush pizza with olive oil, sprinkle with ore gano and some garlic powder ( not garlic salt) add tomato sauce ...
    Put your topping on ... watch your ingredients .. fats etc. I like it with peppers, onions, mushrooms and some spinach ( frozen with water squeezed out)
    . Return to oven & bake at 425F for 10-12 minutes more, until veggies are cooked & crust is slightly brown.

    This sounds nice -- marking for the next time I make pizza!

    Chicken Enchilada Pizza (DITTO on all the Tortilla Pizza recipes!!)
    This is usually a day or two after we've had fajitas...

    I use whole grain flour tortilla
    Enchilada sauce
    left over mexican chicken (spicy or not... whatever I have)
    left over grilled/sauteed peppers & onion
    lightly sprinkle with shredded cheese

    Bake at 350* until cheese is melted & starting to brown

    I use either "flat-outs", or low carb tortillas (80 cals for a large one) and use that as my crust. Add some pizza sauce and your toppings (lots of veggies) and a small amount of cheese (I use 1/3 cup) and bake. Depending on your toppings, it could be anywhere from 200 cals to the 350 range. It makes a very crispy crust, which I love and it satisfies my pizza craving. In fact it's on the menu for me tonight!

    that is such a good idea! I'm going to try that this week at some point! I usually use pitta bread split in 2 then tomato puré then semi cooked chicken and parma ham with mozzerella cheese on top and put n the oven for about 10 mins or until cheese is melted and lightly browned.

    If you don't want to make your own, Schwan's has a couple of frozen pizzas that use whole wheat crust, roasted veggies and light on the cheese. The nutrition isn't bad at all on them and they taste good. I don't currently have one to look up the nutrition. They will even deliver right to your door. They have a decent website.

    Also, pita, tortilla and english muffin pizzas. Ditto to others. Yum.

    WARNING: Devilspeak to follow....

    I have to say, there are certain foods that a can't/won't modify. Pizza is one of those foods. Turkey pepperoni, pita pizza's, cauliflower crusts (?!) Heresy! Go out and get and get your favorite slice. Love your slice, savor your slice, and be satisfied by your slice. Work hard for it at the gym, and don't do it too often. That's my take.

    I use whole-wheat pitas with pizza sauce. I chop up fresh veggies and sprinkle about 1/4 cup of skim-milk mozza cheese and bake for about 5 mins.

    Now that I've read the above I am going to check out some of these too! :)

    I make my own pita ones that are " good " ....but I have to agree with the poster above....IF you really want your favorite Pizza...then buy it by the slice...have a salad with it if you eat in the Pizza place or take it home and enjoy it or even two slices.
    I think that is a fair compromise.
    I love Papa Gino's thin crust. They sell 2 slice to take out. I don't have it often but that is what I order if I get it. I could make myself eat a whole Pizza I love it so much. But truly after the first slice the taste never is any better than first one.. if you are eating and tasting consciously and enjoying ...and not just stuffing. (that is the old me)

    So go for it... but only take home 2 Slices max. then declare victory!:happy:

    1 large low-fat, high-fiber, burrito-size tortilla with about 100 calories (like this kind by La Tortilla Factory)

    1/3 cup fat-free ricotta cheese
    1 tbsp. shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
