Healthier pizza recipes or tips??

I've used a thin whole grain crust.
I've used cauliflower crust
I've used zucchinni crust

It really depends on your goals, your calories and your cravings. I'm not usually happy with one slice, so making my crust thinner or from a vegetable is often my goal.

Here's a good zucchini one: http://www.oatmealwithafork.com/2012/08/28/zucchini-pizza-crust-and-wiaw/

I use a nice pita bread and go with very flavourful toppings so you need less. Feta cheese, olives, sundried tomatoes, rocket, very thin spicy salami... you get a lot of taste from a smaller amount.

I've found 1/3 cup stone ground wheat flour added to unbleached whole wheat flour works really well,and I've cut back to eating only one slice (used to eat two or three) of my home made pizza, which includes fresh tomatoes, basil, and cheese. I supplement with a large handful of baby carrots and a nice glass of wine. (This is my go-to meal on Friday nights).

I like pizza omlettles. Another thing i have done and like is take a piece of toast put my sauce cheese and some other toppings on it.

The crust is not a big deal for me, so absolutely anything I can smear a measured amount of pizza sauce on and some pre- cooked veg and cheese does it for me. Put it on roasted zucchini, eggplant, tortilla, etc. I even did this with a chicken breast, baked in the oven and then topped with pizza sauce, pre-cooked onion, mushrooms & garlic then topped with cheese and left in just long enough to melt... Kind of chicken parm, but definitely pizza flavor!

I know the crust is a must for many and the fact that it's a "finger"food of sorts so there's also that tactile thing with the way in which it's normally eaten. If that's your thing, my ideas might not cut it for you.

Pita pizzas come out really well if you broil one side until slightly crispy, turn it over and put your sauce and toppings on, then broil until cheese is melted. I do this with my daughter at least once a week.

Flatout bread also comes out really well. For either of them you can easily have an entire personal sized pizza for under 300 calories.

Flatout bread does make a good crust.

Pizza is my favorite food and I could not succeed in my lifestyle without it! I make pizza by getting Trader Joe's whole wheat dough and divide it out to 1.5-2.5 oz depending on my activity that day. Then I roll out really thin (let dough rest on countertop for 20 min or it will "spring back" original size (small). Roll out on floured cutting board and put onto cookie sheet covered with foil and sprayed lightly with cooking spray. I then put Ragu Pizza Sauce on dough then top with lean meat or meats, tons of veggies and topped with low fat cheese. Bake in oven about 450 degrees for 10-12 min. You will love it! By eating pizza this way I can have it everyday if I wanted as long as I work out that day BTW- this dough freezes well so I divide it up and put ounces written on ziplock to know what it is.

We make our own pizza, its our friday night tradition. Typically ours consists of homemade dough, a thin layer of cheese, and fresh tomatoes. Sometimes we add in sauteed onions and garlic, or toss basil on top too.

The great thing about making it yourself is that you can add/subtract whatever you wish, and you have full control over it. If you're worried about overdoing it, most homemade doughs freeze well, so you could make a full batch and just bake individual portions at a time.

My son's girlfriend is vegetarian and lactose intolerant so our regular Friday night pizza was an issue. I found a great pizza by Amy's (frozen) that has roasted vegetables and no cheese. It is fantastic! It is much lower in calories and has a great sweet like sauce flavor. I find it very filling. Great to keep in the freezer for whenever. I also personally like to take a pita slice carefully to make 2 crusts, put pizza sauce with added hot sauce or BBQ sauce, lots of cut up peppers, onions, cherry tomatoes (whatever I have handy) and a crumbled MorningStar spicy sausage patty, top with a very small amount of cheese (I prefer more toppings and less cheese anyway) and bake at 425 degrees until bubbly. It usually has so much on it that I have to eat it with knife and fork:)
