It happened: your group of friends all decided that dinner is going to be pizza, either delivered or at a restaurant.
A. It isn't your home with your standard deviations or substitutions. And, man, oh, man, does it smell amazing. What's your go-to? Wings and a salad? Grab a couple slices but just eat the toppings? Compromise with a gluten-free crust, if they are so accommodating? Ask for a water and nibble your nuts or pork rinds from your purse?
B. The meet-up is at your place and you have time to whip something up that is pizza-like. What recipe do you toss in your oven? (and do you share? ;-)

Happened on a girls' night at Mellow Mushroom. When the location was decided, I hastily typed 'Mellow Mushroom menu' into my phone. While I could have gone the salad routine, I saw that they do carry gluten-free pizza. On a hunch, I compared the carbs of one of those and a regular hand-tossed. 16 grams of carbs vs 41(!per slice!). Gave it a shot, and had a slice of that with a salad. Didn't feel too guilty.
At work, the managers give our unit pizza parties every so often at random. Definitely guilty of de-topping a slice or two, then.0 -
I will eat toppings! Yum!0

A. Salad
B. Salad
This happens all the time and I'm short and at goal so I pay careful attention to my intake. Toppings wouldn't be enough to satisfy me and I have to love what I eat.0 -
Or Opt for the Hoagie and don't eat the bread. Steak and cheese, chicken and cheese, avocado... avoid meats with "marinade" and meatballs.

I will be having this issue tomorrow as I'm going on a work trip and we are going to a pizza joint. I looked at the menu and there is some pretty yummy pizza options. I plan on just eating the toppings and getting a salad.0

Peel off the toppings and eat that pizza too!0

Salad w/ bleu cheese dressing. I can't do pizza sauce, the sugar kills me, so I tend not to eat toppings, but I might pick off a piece of sausage if it's sitting on top. And if I had committed to making pizza for others, I would just make them a pizza and make something else entirely for myself, probably just a salad and an antipasto plate though as I'd be over cooking by the time I made homemade pizza. The fathead pizza looks really good, but I'd eat too much of it and the overall food volume would push my blood sugar up too high.0

Toppings and salad! Yum. Wings sound good too.
At home I make a skillet pizza.0 -
A: wings/salad or detop the pizza - depending on my mood
B: portabella mushroom pizza - YUMMY!0 -

I've been looking all over the place for this recipe. THANK YOU!! I found it once and made it and it was the best thing I've ever eaten. BUT, I forgot to save it and couldn't find it. It's now Pinned to my pinterest KETO board. Thanks!!0 -

Pizza hut doesn't do salad? Wow. Back in the day they had fancy salad bars. (But then, back then they were dine in pizza huts. Do those even exist anymore?)0 -
For me it depends: they they have a whole wheat pizza, I'll have a slice. If they don't: wings and a salad.0

A - I can't go, I have "X" (substitute in whatever for "X" - I will find a credible but solid reason not to go...I don't do as well when I'm watching others eat tempting foods).
B - They eat out and join me at my home when they're done, and I'll eat my usual food.
Problem solved.0 -
I'm still in the weight-loss phase, though. I plan to binge with friends/family on occasion when I'm at maintenance, however, and then just lose with this WOE until I'm back at my goal weight again.0

Salad and the toppings - FTW!0

I will often eat the pizza less the dough part. This works great on pizza with a lot of cheese toppings that makes sliding of the toppings easy. I do not do any form of grains any longer. A year and half down the road I do not find the fact the toppings were cooked on top of bread causes me any stomach or joint pain any longer.
I think I will go to Pizza Hut in a few hours after typing this. 0 -
Here is Italy that happens frequently. I just eat the top of the pizza (cheese, veggies and meat) and take home crust to dogs! People don't even notice and I don't feel deprived.

In the future if you know where, call ahead and see if they will do a crustless pizza, easy on the sauce (or on the side, if you choose)... Most places are starting to offer this now... They just push it farther into the oven to start so it doesn't burn...0 -

They do this????? And I love burnt cheese...so....
I have no self control with pizza. I just eat it and call it splurge day. Because pizza. I mostly get thin crust, so it's marginally better. If there are enough slices that I don't feel like I'm being wasteful I'll take the toppings off one slice and double them on another. Less crust that way, but still some. I think my love affair with pizza is a pretty permanent fixture. I'll eat substitutes at home that I just make myself, but if we're going to a pizza place or somewhere people order...I just eat it. Oh, and sometimes I'll eat wings/salad first so I'm less hungry when pizza time comes. I did that on Sunday...had a big fat salad before the pizza came out. I think it helped a tiny bit. A really tiny bit. Thankfully we've cut back on how often we have pizza...used to do it weekly or more, now about every other week. I can live with that.0 -

The first place I tried this was at Gattitown... They're all about it... Endless toppings for them. Have to mostly skip the sauces as it's pretty sweet, but yeah, any place that uses parchment paper or serves hot subs and stuff should have the ability to do this. That's why I recommended calling ahead...so you can make sure everyone in the store is on the same page...
I used to loveloveLOVE pizza, but I used to peel most of the toppings off. LOL I'd rather have like 4x the toppings on thin crust. LOL So that's why I don't miss the bread stuff... Have you tried that fathead pizza crust yet? It's really good, and even the carb-loaders tend to love it.
And yeah, I"m on salad boycott right now because it causes instant dumping for me, sadly... Not a huge wings fan, either... Can tolerate some flavors, but BBQ was always my favorite, and I don't even think I've had any since going low carb... And I was always a boneless wing girl... I can tolerate them now, but they still aren't a favorite.0 -
I've been pizza free a lot longer than I've been low carb. There really isn't anything at a pizza parlor that I would like better than pizza, and since I go out with small groups of friends, we eat somewhere that meets everyone's needs.0

I haven't tried the fathead crust yet...I have good intentions and poor follow through lol. I will, though, I am curious about it. I will have to call the pizza place by my house and ask them if they would be able to do a special order for me. Maybe if I explain it to them, they'll get it. Or maybe they do that anyways...I have no idea.
Sucks about the salad - it's almost a daily thing for me. It's a nice filler. I am a huge wing lover, so I have no issues with subbing them as needed. Last time we ordered pizza hut I got plain wings with it, ate those and two slices of pizza and was golden. I don't like boneless wings at all...they always seemed like an enormous chunk of breading on a piece of chicken breast...I like the dark meet that truly comes on a real wing. 0 -
I would have pizza toppings with a salad with ceasar dressing. I would've picked with chicken wings but most places would coat the wings with flour to make it crispier.0
-
I make fathead pizza at least twice a week - even the carb and pizza loving hubster is on board with that one.
When we get takeaway pizza I get wings, he gets pizza, everyone's happy0 -
Chicken Caesar is my go to when eating out, and when I make pizza I do oopsie rolls with some parm and Italian seasoning in the batter, bake them for 15 min, top them with pizza toppings, and bake them another 15 min0
