Toppings/ sauce/ crust. I just really want to order pizza without completely messing up my day. So, what do you guys order if you ever order pizza?

    Chances are if I'm ordering pizza I'm not concerned about calories that day.
    However:
    light on the cheese
    lots of veggies
    thin crust

    I actually really enjoy pizza without cheese. I had one once that had olive oil, garlic, spinach and sun dried tomato...it was great!

    pizza days are free days to me but if you stick with easy cheese/thinnest crust you should be fine.

    I get pizza hut thin pepperoni pizza. Even a normal (non-"low cal") pizza doesn't have to break the calorie bank.

    I don't know where you're planning on ordering from, but Domino's has a great (calorie calculator. I usually order a medium thin crust with ham and mushrooms or chicken and spinach.

    Every word of this (except I am equally as likely to have planned ahead and either saved some calories or pre-planned to reduce my deficit that day slightly to accommodate dinner). Or, you can eat like my 3 year old and pick all the good stuff off your pizza and then hand someone your slobbery crust to polish off ;).

    I also prefer my pizza without sauce sometimes, 100% from a taste perspective. It's not going to save you noticeable calories or anything, but if there's a component you can skip without missing it...sometimes every little bit helps.

    Neapolitan style, minimal toppings.

    Stay away from Pizza Hut and a few others - they basically fry the crust.

    Homemade.

    I made pizza for lunch today - someone needs to eat the rest of it before I eat the entire thing and then it is no longer a lower cal option. It was delicious.

    But at a restaurant - I think a wood fired thin crust with lots of veggies is a good choice.

    Thin crust - veggie - light cheese

    I also like making my own - turkey pepperoni is much lower fat. Cut the pepperoni into small pieces and a little goes a long ways.

    Papa Murphys can be had for decent calorie counts

    Did you quote me as a way to volunteer me to eat the rest of your pizza? In.

    There's no such thing as low calorie pizza. And the toppings don't matter. It's how much of it you eat that matters. Portion control works great in these type of instances.

    thin crust. veggie toppings.

    If you're worried about calories, stay away from any deep dish, thick crust, or stuffed type pizzas. Also stay away from meat toppings and go very light on cheese. Failing all of that, just have one slice of whatever type you like.

    If I make a pizza, I use whole grain flour and fresh veggies with raw cheese.
    I top it with sardines.

    If I order out, I get the meat lovers pizza with extra cheese. When ordering out, just call it christmas and have a cheat day. ENJOY!

    I'm going to second this. Cauliflower crust pizza might as well be a salad. :p

    I actually love the cauliflower or zucchini crust pizza - not as a "real pizza" but I'll say that making it into "breadsticks" or "pizza crust" is a great meal in itself if it weren't trying to be something else.

    I had thin crust cheese pizza last night. One slice was 210 cal.

    Too late - my kid woke up and it won't be around much longer.
