Why is there lettuce??
Upgrade your whole wheat bread to a pita, add more mozzerella, trade sausage for pepperoni, nix the green stuff and stick it in the toaster oven until the cheese is melting out and browing on the pan. Then you're in business.9 -

Needs more anchovies

I'm gonna give the poster the benefit of the doubt and assume that's spinach, because I've never heard of a lettuce pizza. FYI, spinach and pepperoni is the boss of pizzas.3

No. Sorry. That's not a pizza.12

I don't often get a craving for pizza, but when I do, I go for a nice long bicycle ride ... and then pick one up for dinner.

Not pizza.3

I have pizza nearly every week. I just now get a small and split it between dinner Friday and lunch Saturday.7

You lost me at the lettuce. Lettuce has no place on a pizza and never will.5
-
When kids were small, I made it on flour tortillas. Sans greenery. "Mexican pizza." It was ok, but even then they weren't fooled.3

I love wood oven pizza with prosciutto and fresh arugula that just slightly wilts with the heat.. but definitely not for everyone some people hate it like that3 -
Looks mildly appetizing, my concern is if you don't immediately eat it you have a pizza bread pudding.

Have you ever heard of naan? They sell it at Aldi and it's amazing! I prefer the garlic naan and yesterday for lunch I made a pizza on that with spinach, 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella, 1/4 cup of alfredo sauce, and 3 oz of chicken with a sprinkling of parmesan cheese after it came out of the oven. I baked it at 350 for about 15 mins and omg it was amazing. The whole pizza comes out to only 633 calories and I'm not gonna lie, I ate the whole thing. It was very satisfying3

I like doing crustless pizzas or cauliflower crust ...they both taste great0

Naan is as caloric as regular pizza crust. So not exactly a good alternative.
And only a 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella for the entire pizza? How non-pizzalike and sad.
I'd rather have a slice or two of really good pizza once in a while than be able to eat all of the quasi-crap I can stuff into myself every day.
Quality over quantity matters to me. 4 -
That in no way would help me if I want pizza.4
-
That would not satisfy my craving for a pizza.
On the other hand, I can make an a filling, meal-sized version of actual pizza (usually with more vegetables and lean meat and a real crust) for the same amount of calories I'd normally spend on lunch or dinner (more than 262, as I normally like to do around 500 or so, depending on the rest of the day).
If it works for you, though, excellent!
I hope you aren't trying to keep calories to 262 x 3, though (maybe a paranoid thought, but it seems quite low for a meal).0 -
I now have the sadz...

I had pizza last night. I made it with a dough ball made from a wild yeast starter, with oil, sauce, pepperoni and mozz on top, cooked on an iron plate at 500 degrees. It was perfect. The dough ball was a little large so the calories worked out to 602, but I'm not actually complaining about it. It was perfect.2

Heh, much more so, IMO, as it usually has more fat. It's great, but I wouldn't personally use it for pizza, but splurge on it when eating Indian.I'd rather have a slice or two of really good pizza once in a while than be able to eat all of the quasi-crap I can stuff into myself every day.
Totally agree, but for 633 I could also have a normal home-made pizza of dinner size, 2-3 slices of a good thin crust pizza from a local Italian place (again a lunch/dinner size), or even an extremely filling amount of some Chicago-style or other deep dish pizza.
A slice of this is 370 calories (it's not my favorite stuffed pizza, haven't actually had it in ages, but it's quite filling and on the right occasion (sometimes they bring it in at work) I'd not turn it down -- they use a lower cal cheese although you can't tell):

You could use a tortilla or pita bread as a quick pizza crust.1
-
I never met a pizza I didn't like.4
-
We would use English muffins3

Thanks for sharing. Seems like a nice idea for those who are interested. I hope you enjoyed it!2

I get the lean cuisine pizza and put them in the toaster oven. They are pretty good and its 410 calories for the pepperoni.0

I own this pizza oven and it makes the perfect pie evah!! Homemade pizza, where you have total control over the ingredients, is the bomb!!4 -

Yup. I've become partial to thin crust also. Saves about 30% on calories per slice.0
