    I also make little pizzas with a split english muffin (100-140 calories) or a pita (150 calories). [/quote]

    Yes! I love this! I've done the same on a piece of toast but I swear it tastes best on an english muffin

    We make pizza during the week with flat out wraps, ground turkey, cheese, sauce, sun dried tomatoes, and bell pepper.

    In all seriousness, what I do is buy one of those ready-to-bake pizzas (not frozen) Cut it into individual servings and freeze it. When I have a pizza crazing, I just put one or two servings in the oven. That way I'm not making a whole pizza. I buy cheese pizza, so that I can add my own toppings: sauteed onions, spinach, chicken, etc. Aldi's has the cheese pizza for $5 in my area.

    I feel like a complete moron for not thinking of this! I do it with almost everything else, but like @Miss_Mabee pizza didn't occur to me.

    as many others said. If i eat pizza I make it fit... if it doesn't fit I do something active. Sometimes I go over.

    I always fit pizza in. I probably eat pizza at least once a week.
    I also like to play with low calorie recipes for fun; pizza sauce, cheese and pepperoni on a portabella mushroom cap isn't too bad.

    Meatza! Use ground turkey, spice it up with Italian seasonings. Bake it flat in the bottom of a pan (your "crust"). Add veggies, pizza sauce or pasta sauce, and mozzarella cheese. Bake until cheese is melty. Yum!

    No meat and no cheese
    No cheese? Then not a pizza.

    I eat pizza once a week. Usually chicken/garlic with white sauce. 4 pieces does it for me.

    I have pretty much solved this by eating lower calorie, lower fat meals all year (I still eat fat -- just less of it than I used to, and focused mainly on plant oils) and becoming accustomed to them. One weekend a month or two ago when we went out to eat and I *did* have enough calories left in the day to have a few slices of pizza, I indulged and I did not feel so great afterwards. Did it again at a different restaurant a bit later and it made me queasy again. Now I really don't want pizza any longer because I don't like feeling queasy and bloated. (And if I did, I would probably make it at home and make it way less greasy.)

    I pick up a Papa Murphy's thin crust veggie or Hawaiian pizza and eat as many slices as I can fit in for dinner. If you love pizza, there is no reason to not eat pizza once in a while. Just make room in your daily calories.

    Quick fix: Hormel turkey pepperoni as a snack. Roughly 70 calories for 17 slices.

    Papa Murphy's is what I'm doing for Friday night (and Saturday and Sunday). ;-)

    Make it fit. You should be able to fit 2 slices of pepperoni into your day (520cals, Pizza Hut).

    I make my own thin crust pizza (but I buy the crust) and it is amazingly delicious. I don't skimp on meat or cheese, either. I do use turkey pepperoni and turkey sausage, though. And lots of veggies. Tastes so good!! I think I'll make one tomorrow night :)
    I normally budget 600-700 calories for a pizza night and I definitely get full off of the amount I eat, usually having to give my last allotted piece to my boyfriend.

    I love pizza, but not every day. Usually I have my Gluten free pizza twice a month loaded with veggies.

    Pfft i just eat the pizza. One bad meal wont make you fat. But if you really want to. Cauliflower pizza crust helps, pizza stuffed portobello mushrooms, eggplant pizza, go buy a lean cuisine pizza theyre actually quite good

    I use half of one lavash sheet as a crust. Then top with tomato paste, vegetables, a few ounces of beef or chicken and a Tbsp of grated Parmesan. Bake at 425 for 7 minutes.

    I love pizza aswell, I still eat it every now and then, but I obviously can't eat it as much as I would like. What I did to satisfy those cravings is get some Flatout Flatbread as a base, make a pseudo-sauce by crushing up some tomatoes, garlic, salt and some pepper and reducing it a bit, then add some low-fat Mozzarella with some basil aswell. Obviously not the best thing you'll ever have, but it satisfied me; the sauce was actually not that bad it reminded me of Sbarro's. If you're not worried about carbs you can just buy or prepare some pizza dough and it'll be even better.

    I make Greek pizza. A crisped pia, brish with olive oil, sliced on tomatoes, agreed a few bail leaves and a few oregano leaves on them, sightings on parmesan, feta, and fresh sliced of low fat part skim mozzarella. Use the cheeses like flavoring (not like a layer of concrete)! ... Put under a broiler for two or three minutes. Yum.

    Try zucchini boats! Cut a zucchini in half long way, scoop out seeds with a spoon, measure/portion the amount of sauce, veggies, and cheese to fill and bake! Super delicious, low cal, low carb, lots of veggies! Pair with a healthy salad for even more fill!

    Drive into a Jet's Pizza and get one slice of pizza to go. It is 500 calories..and so delicious and satisfying. I get cheese and pepperoni. Don't do it all the time…but it gives you your pizza fix. It also makes you understand how you'd keep eating another four slices if you had a whole pie in front of you. It is great portion control. Do it on a day when you exercise and eat lean the rest of the day.
