Craving Pizza?

I use naan bread about the size of a personal pizza. I top it with 2 T of pizza squeeze sauce, 8 slices of turkey pepperoni, 1 1/2 oz mozzarella and all the veggies I can cram on top. The whole thing is less than 500 calories. Perfect for supper.

I usually just use the Flat Out Pizza Crusts. They are 120 Calories, very thin crust, and make about 3-4 small slices of thin crust pizza when all done. I add sausage, turkey pepperoni, pizza sauce, low or no-fat mozzarella, and whatever veggies I have on hand. Good stuff and usually fits in my macros.

Flat outs are awesome because they are so big that you feel like you're eating a massive piece of pizza!

I keep meaning to try flat outs as crust. Do they get crispy? Can they hold up? Or are they more calzone like that pizza like? We have a sandwich press, and do "sandwich night" which is often calzone night, but I was wondering about flat outs as crusts...

Mine didn't get crispy so I haven't tried again.

I suggest flatbreads personally! There's a brand that makes some 180 calorie ones with 15g of protein.

To get them crispy I usually broil for a few mins, then take it out, flip it over and put my toppings on then broil again.

And you do this with flat outs?

Yep, and pita and tortillas.

Tortilla wrap pizza is my favourite - I keep mine in the freezer! I take one out then, spread with tomatoe puree then top with onions, tomatoes, mushrooms - anything I have in the house, add a little parmesan and few herbs - pop in the over for 5 minutes & top with rocket! Amazing and about 300 - 400 cals

Yup, this was good. Made it for lunch. Thanks for the idea

Pizza is my biggest weakness. But I can't have bread or wheat products. Udis makes a pretty good crust, but still pretty high in calories when you add all the ingredients. Any ideals for no gluten diets?

If you have an aldi near you, they make a 90 calorie gluten free wrap. I primarily use those for pizza and keep them in my freezer. Before that, I would use the teff wraps (la tortilla factory) for around 180 calories or so. Kind of a killer for me.

The other options are to do a vegetable crust - either stuff or top a vegetable with your pizza toppings (like stuffed peppers, zucchini boats, stuffed eggplant, etc), or make a cauliflower, zucchini or spaghetti squash crust.

Cauliflower Crust
Spaghetti Squash Crust

I've also made a supreme pizza casserole that was really good - it's not pizza, but the toppings really give it a pizza-y vibe. Supreme Pizza Cauliflower Casserole. I was eating it for breakfast all week that week.

I made "mummy" pizzas like this for Halloween. Put the pizza sauce on the muffin and then peel the string cheese and lay it across the muffin and give them eyeballs made from olives. They were cute.

Half of my post keeps disappearing. Anyway, the English muffin has such an odd taste with a pizza, and this comes from someone who can do a vegetable based crust. The tortilla is awesome but if you want it to taste like a traditional pizza, pita is the way to go.
