PIZZA HELP

Ok so last night i bought my family pizza because i like to do nice things for my family because they have done so much for me. plus we arent people that go out to eat a lot because we have a farm and animals to take care of. anyhow as they were eating their pizza i was wondering if there were any good ways to make something that i like pizza but for a lot less calories that way i dont have to feel as tho i am left out. Please help with anything that anyone has.

I make a personal pizza using Joseph's Low-Carb pita pockets (Oat-Flax-Wheat pita).... I make my own homemade pizza sauce, part-skim shredded mozzarella cheese, fresh vegetables, roasted garlic, fresh basil leaves and grilled chicken with shrimp.

wheat pita bread, pasta sauce,2% cheese and whatever toppings you want

I just posted this in another thread earlier today... I definitely needed to keep pizza in my diet. This is how I manage:

Turkey Pepperoni Pita Pizza

Joseph's - Flax, Oat Bran & Whole Wheat Flour Pita Bread
Ragu - Pizza Quick Sauce, 2 tablespoons
Hormel - Turkey Pepperoni - 8 slices
Sargento - Part Skim Mozzarella Cheese, Shredded, 1/4 cup

Heat the oven to 375.
Place the pitas on a baking sheet.
Add the sauce.
Sprinkle on the cheese.
Top with the turkey pepperoni.
Bake 10-12 minutes.

They clock in at about 195 calories each. Could be a little more if you can't find these pitas as they are only like 60 calories each.

We also will sometimes use grilled chicken and do BBQ or buffalo sauce instead of pizza sauce.

Cauliflower crust pizza!

Tortillas instead of pizza crust, you could also try a cauli crust (the recipe is in the forums somewhere), I use a 2% cheese and turkey pepperoni with my favorite sauce (I'm not big on sauce so it's gonna be my fave kind), or a light alfredo sauce with chicken and broccoli.

Hi!
I like to split a toasted english muffin, put on a slice of tomato, a little low-fat shredded mozzarella, a few black olives, a pinch or so of basil and oregano, and heat in the microwave til the cheese melts. Even better if you put in under the broiler!

I take low calorie tortillas and put whatever kind of toppings you like and bake them to your liking....I use fajita size tortillas that are 80 calories for 2 then just add the other toppings calories and there you go...very yummy

Mmmm...made bangin' mini pizzas...and I made my own pizza sauce!

I used 3oz of grape tomatoes, some oregano, basil, and thyme...blended them all up in my little magic bullet, brought it to a nice little bubbly on the stove then simmered it for like 15 mins.

Got one of the Arnold's Multi-Grain Sandwich Thins (split it open of course to make two pizzas)...split the sauce onto each "pizza crust"...

Then topped it with 1/4c (28g) (shredded Kraft Four Cheese Mexican blend) cheese on each crust. (I'm a cheese freak)

Then bake it at 350 for I dunno...whatever, 10 mins? Maybe a little longer...shorter...who knows. I was impatient and just went with the cheese looking melted. But it was SOOOO good!

And here's the nutrition facts for both of my mini pizzas:

Calories: 285
Fat: 13
Sodium: 550
Carb: 28
Protein: 21
Fiber: 8

...and it wouldn't have been so high in fat/sodium if I would have just used one serving of cheese - but like I said, I'm a cheese FREAK! I just like the fact of me making my own sauce without any additives or preservatives!

Flatout bread
tomato paste/sauce
turkey pepperoni
grilled onions, peppers, etc
low fat shredded cheese

Very "economical" as far as calories are concerned ... especially compared to "the real deal."

I just made homemade mini pizzas using whole wheat English muffins, no salt added tomato sause, parmesan cheese, part skim mozzarella, and TONS of chopped veggies. My hubby used flatbread as his crusts and added veggies and turkey pepperoni.

I actually order pizza when I want it, but this was even better because I could totally customize it.

I either try to get an individual size lean cuisine pizza, or a thin whole wheat crust one (like kashi) to share with a friend. Don't deprive yourself so much that it bites you later...pizza is my vice, and I will never give it up.

I use flat outs to make individual pizzas for my boyfriend and me, That way we can each have the toppings we prefer.

I use tortilla's as my "thin crust" base for pizza... basically half of a pita (pita to me at least is the 2 layers attached to make a pocket that you can stuff with your toppings)

top with pizza sauce of choice, and your fav pizza toppings... already ditched a ton of grease if you normally buy pan-fried and calories overall... whole thing is about 500 calories depending on toppings vs a couple slices doing that and then still having 3/4 of a pizza around.
