Anyone know how to make a healthy Dominos Pizza?

Make it how you like, just make it smaller

I don't know but I would like to know myself, if I had my choice I could eat pizza at least 4 to 5 days a week!:blushing:

I've bought Boboli pizza crusts in the past, sprayed a light coating of I can't believe its not butter spray, sprinkle garlic powder (not garlic salt) on the crust, used low sodium pizza sauce, skim milk mozzarella cheese and turkey pepperoni. It was good.

I use bagels for homemade pizza. You could put a little bit of sauce on, sprinkle some garlic powder on, and add your toppings. You could also melt some butter and brush it on the outside of the bagel and sprinkle garlic powder on it before baking. Good luck. Pizza is definately my weakness so I try to find ways of making it a little bit healthier by making it at home.

Hi, my name is MaryKate and I am addicted to Dominos Pepperoni Pizza. I could eat it all day every day [ and some weeks I will admit I have ] I know that eating it will be against my trying to lose weight so I am wondering if any of you knew a healthier way I could make it at home? What I love most about it I guess is the garlic crust, and how thick and yummy the crust is. I point those out because I guess in my mind all "healthy" home made pizza is going to be thin crust

Any ideas would be amazing, thank you!!

Have you tried Boboli premade whole wheat crusts? I think they are pretty good and they are not cracker thin, though if you haven't had whole wheat crusts before you will notice the difference. They have a "heavier" taste, and just as many calories so strictly from a weight loss point of view I guess they are not much better. But whole wheat is better for your metabolism than regular crusts. And you could paint the crust with olive oil and sprinkle with granulated garlic to get the garlic crust taste. Use reduced fat turkey pepperoni and 2% milk cheese to reduce the saturated fat and calories. It's not going to taste like Dominos, but it's really quite good.

sounds like most of us are on the same page with this one.

if you actually order from dominos, you can get the thin crust, tomato sauce, light on the cheese, and veggies on top.

A whole small pepperoni pizza from dominos is only just over 1,200 calories...everyone I'm sure will attack me for saying that, but if that's REALLY ALL you ate each day...you could do it. If you exercised, you might also be able to have a small dessert

Hmm

Meat, dairy, tomato (fruit!) and grains. Sounds like a meal to me! Hahaha

well making it thin crust is the best option without thin crust your adding a CRAP load of extra calories within the bread alone

Here are several options:

1. Try the Pilsbury refrigerated dough and when you roll it out on the pan. Than you can brush with olive oil and garlic powder, onion powder, orgeano & basil.

2. Get fresh dough from either Trader Joes, Whole Foods or Publix. It comes in either wheat or white and before you roll it out, you can season with garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, basil....all of your dry herbs & a little olive oil.

Also put down a little corn meal before you roll it out as well...it makes it taste better and helps it to crisp up.
Hope this helps!

well the nitrates and nitrites and sodium in pepperoni and not healthy even if you don't want to lose weight. (don't shoot the messenger).

refined flour likewise.

Make a pizza using whole wheat flour or ww mixed with 1/4 corn meal and less that usual amount of olive oil, use turkey sausage in small slices, small amount of cheese, (very very..perhaps mozzarello which is lower in sodium and fat), lots of herbs, sugar free tomato stuff or just fresh tomatoes as the best alternative...roll thinly....You can add other vegies as well.

It isn't only about calories but also the quality of those calories. It is possible (honest) to get used to healthy alternatives.

Trader Joe's has a garlic and herb pizza crust that is pretty good. If you are going to make your own, I'd definitely say try that!

If you like the pizza that much, the one recommendation that I would have is DO NOT make it something forbidden. Don't "quit cold turkey" and tell yourself that you can never eat it again. Just try to gradually cut down on how much you eat it and how often you eat it. If you really want it, have some- just plan your day around it. Put it into your food diary the night before so that you can see how much you'll have leftover for the rest of the day and go from there. Make sure to exercise on those days so that you have a little bit more leeway. If you make it a forbidden item, you are only going to want it more. The whole point of doing this is to make a lifestyle change- and in life, you are going to want, and have, pizza sometimes. That's ok!! It is just learning how to be reasonable with it. Everything in moderation.

This is what I do:

1 - Joseph's Pita *60 cal*
1/4 c - Pizza sauce (Contadina squeeze bottle) *30 cal*
1 - Jimmy Dean Fully Cooked Turkey sausage patty *60 cal*
1/4 c - 2% finely shredded mozzarella cheese *80 cal*
2 - slices of canadian bacon *24 cal*

Total calories: about 254 (i'm sure there are other substitutions you can use)

I layer it all on the pita, sprinkle with some garlic salt and even some oregano and put it on a cookie sheet and bake it until the cheese is melted on 350 degrees.

Very delicious and it takes care of my pizza cravings!!
