It's been an long time, but I used to use a soft Greek flatbread (the brand is not coming to me right now, thicker than most pita bread), brush it with olive oil and add great ingredients (light cheese, marinara and pineapple is my fav). I would just eat half with a salad and store the rest. The key was to use toppings sparingly so as to give it that "crust" that pizza has, not saturate it with toppings. This is great on the grill too!! I've got to do this again this weekend!!1

SO many ideas! And here I am thinking one way. Never thought of the greek bread. Bread and stuff is starting to scare me alittle so I need to watch myself. It's one of those things I can't say no to. Nothing like soft bread.0 -
WHOLEWHEAT PITTA BREAD PIZZA
just as good as the real thing!!1 -
There are some protein flatbreads out there that have 200 calories and 15g of protein!
I still prefer making my own though. I use this recipe http://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-homemade-thin-crust-pizza-recipes-from-the-kitchn-45499 for a very thin crust. I made myself a 9 inch pizza the other day for 650 calories, and that was with 2 ounces of cheese (can put way less), some tomato sauce, and 2 ounces of steak.0 -
I hear you on the chicken wings but I'm uncontrollable around them so instead of getting wings AND pizza (sigh) I usually make myself a side salad and add some grilled chicken breast soaked in Frank's and use 14g crumbled blue cheese on it to sooth my broken heart. Also I know you're not quite up to cauliflower pizza dough yet but I'm telling you its the bees knees. you can season/customize it to your needs and it freezes fantastically. I usually make personal pizza size so I can have pizza anytime plus when my SO and I make it he gets what he wants and I get what I want.1

I make pizza bagels out of Weight Watchers Whole Wheat bagels (130 cals per bagel)0

Naan bread makes a great pizza crust and it's a little thicker. Toast in the oven for a bit, top it with a ton of veggies and a controlled amount of cheese plus a little ham, pepperoni etc if you want. Bake until the cheese is melts and the crust is crispy. I make one that comes in at around 600 calories for the whole thing.1

I always use a taco/wrap (mine have only 99 calories!) add some tomato puree, a bit of feta/mozarella and tons of spinach and other veg. It takes only 10 minutes in the oven and super low calorie0

try making these in muffin tins, add a slice of turkey pepperoni on them, and dip them in fresh tomato puree with spcies/herbs. Great and low carb
Zero Carb Cheesy Egg Chips
*Refrigerated
4 Egg whites
*Baking & Spices
1 Salt and pepper to taste if desired
*Dairy
2 tbsp Cheese of your flavor choice
*Liquids
1/2 tbsp Water to thin it out a little
Preheat your oven to 400 and ready a non stick medium size muffin pan
Whisk together your egg whites, water, and whatever seasoning you want to flavor
With a syringe, fill each muffin cup with approx 2.5ml of the egg white mixture, needs to be just enough to cover the bottom.
Sprinkle a small pinch of the cheese you desire onto each egg white
Bake for 15 minutes to acquire a good crunch without burning, but check them every couple of minutes to make sure.
Remove from oven once they are at your preferred crunch, and enjoy them with any low carb dip or solely on their own.1 -
I don't skimp when it comes to pizza, though I often switch out ingredients for healthier versions. Like for a base, I use a low sodium tomato sauce mixed with low-sodium spicy seasoning, part-skim mozzarella, turkey-based pepperoni and lots of veggies.0

I'm in the same boat, I'm a pizza addict, 3x a week before my dieting. The best alternative I've found so far is the cauliflower recipe. I haven't tried it yet but it's the healthiest I've come across. It's a pain, I know lol I was on P'Huts website yesterday about to order and stopped myself lol0

I actually make pizza for a living. Lol You can use a tortilla as the base and eat the entire thing for less than 500 cals. My favorite is one I call the holiday. I brush garlic and olive oil on a tortilla (instead of red sauce). Then add your mozzarella. I cut roma tomatoes and mix it with minced garlic and fresh basil. Add that to your pizzer along with broccoli, spinach, mushrooms, red onions, and a few small dabs of ricotta. It'll knock yer socks off and its very filling.2

Oh I love pizza We made this pizza the other night, and it was awesome. It's part mozzarella and part smoked gouda cheese. We used Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce and added extra onion and jalapeno peppers. It came to around 250 calories a slice, I think. Oh, and I make my own pizza dough, but she has a link to hers if you want to try it. http://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2014/03/11/homemade-bbq-chicken-pizza/0
