    Whole wheat pita pizza is a staple in my food choices! They are yummmmmmy. And so easy. It's impossible to find whole wheat pizzas, too....so this is the perfect solution. I make one with the parmesan cheese and jalapeno dip from costco - add tomato or mushrooms or whatever. Very tasty for lunch at the office, a 10-minute-fix.
