Make a pizza of course. It's not within my budget (calorie and money) right now to order a pizza, so I made one instead. A yummy buffalo veggie pizza.

    Yum! I love making my own pizza. I usually have it once a week. I make it on a low carb tortilla with lots of veggies, tomato sauce no salt added, light cheese, and turkey pepperoni!

    Yup me too...I often make my own pizza instead of ordering in...it's better anyway.

    Barring that delissio vintage is pretty good.

    @ExRelaySprinter
    Typically I would, but I'm out of pepperoni and didn't feel like waiting for chicken to thaw so I could grill it.

    It's a family favorite in my house. My 3 yr old loves making his own pizza and it gets him to eat veggies he normally wouldn't eat.

    I love my own homemade pizza. I do a super thin crust. Tomato sauce, reduced fat mozzarella and parma ham. Around 700cals if I eat the whole thing. I can, of course, leave a couple of slices.

    Mmmmm! Looks good! I find the 250g Pizza Express ones (about 600 cals) perfect if I'm really craving pizza and want to fit it in my allowance.

    Nothing to fancy here. I'm having a lazy day, so:

    Medium Soft Taco Flour (53g....weighed a little more than it was supposed to)
    Spinach (I think I had 13g)
    Yellow Onion (20g)
    Mushroom (22 g)
    Finely Shredded Mexican Blend Cheese (actually, I think today I used a taco blend *shrug*...full serving 28g)
    Buffalo Sauce (29 g)


    On days I'm feeling more ambitious I like to make my own pizza crust, but for lazy days flour tortillas work.

    Do U make your own dough? If so, check out Wolgang Puck's recipe. It's delicious!

    Not today, but sometimes I do. Depends on how I'm feeling for the day. I'll look it up.

    I have issues with gluten, soy, yeast, ect.... so (don't look at me like I'm nuts!!) I slice eggplants, top like a normal pizza (sauce and all), then bake. Super yummy!! It doesn't have the crunch of pizza, but it hits the spot for sure.

    I might have to try that sometime. It sounds yummy.

    So what's the difference in calories between your homemade pizza a similar quantity of a Pizza Hut etc pizza

    Well, you can't get one like that at pizza hut. lol. That pizza has an 8" diameter and was just under 300 calories for the whole thing. Even a personal veggie pizza at Pizza hut comes out to 550 calories for the whole thing and the 12" thin is 180 for 1/8 the pizza.

    Dominos says something similar at 10" would be 200 for 1/4 the pizza, but their nutrition calculator won't let you adjust sauce and doesn't add calories for veggies.

    I was just about to come in here and say "EAT PIZZA" but you have. So I'm happy. I love making homemade pizza. I use a flatbread type thing and slap my fave stuff on. Usually comes to about 350 cals and is lush.

    I'd choose it over Pizza Hut or Domino's any day.

    I make pizza every week, it was the one thing I wouldn't give up. I've been perfecting my recipes and technique for over a year now.

    I made my own pizza tonight too:

    Fresh mozzarella, goat cheese, kalamata olives, pepperoni, red onion, and pesto. It was 800 calories though-- today was a hiking day.

    While I don't have the same issues as you do, when I want a lower carb "lasagna", I replace the lasagna noodles with broiled eggplant slices. Delish!
