PIZZA HELP

I use a Flat Out wrap for a crust. 100 Calories for a pretty large pizza "crust" . Then I pile on the toppings and use grated Parmesan cheese as well as some other cheese. The Parm has such a strong flavor that it really requires little. Usually I can make the pizza for around 200 calories and add a large salad.0

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."0 -
or make a mini one! We used to do this as kids, well, mom made it for us. A english muffin with all the pizza toppings on it. or a pita bread. I also make a killer home made garlic bread pizza. I buy the frozen garlic bread, cook it in the oven 1/2 way, then take it out. My sauce is 1 can of tomato sauce and 1 can of tomato paste. My daughter has the job of the seasonings... garlic and oregano. Then we use the rolls of breakfast sausage, like jimmy deans. I cook it and crumble it up. and then motz cheese. then I layer the toppings on it and pop it back into the over till it is cooked. I always go 350 degrees not what the package says cuz it cooks too fast for me.0

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.0 -
I make pita pizzas all the time. Just one pita (the ones I use are 100 calories per pita), a little spaghetti or pizza sauce, fat free shredded mozzarella & turkey pepperoni. Put it all together and bake it until the cheese is melted. It tastes just as good as pizza to me and is only ~300 calories depending on what you use. Super easy!!0

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.0

I use my ninja blender and make dough
(can also be done with a bread maker)
find a good recipe online that you will enjoy
then load up chicken and veggies
or a mexican pizza with ground turkey and load the veggies
low fat/low sodium cheese
stay away from processed meats = high in sodium
already getting enough sodium from cheese reason I do light cheese just enough to hold it together
Straight up veggie pizza i made a couple weeks ago
maybe 200 cals a slice id have to add it

I use flat outs to make individual pizzas for my boyfriend and me, That way we can each have the toppings we prefer.0

I used to order pizza with just sauce and veggies. No meat or cheese. Just peppers onions mushrooms, or any other veggies they had. It was good. or make your own with low fat cheese.0

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.0 -

Whole wheat thin crust. Low sodium sauce, easy on the meat, heavy on the veggies, use a lower fat cheese if you want. We have pizza regularly, and I'm usually satisfied with 2 pieces and a salad with just a bit of balsamic vinegar as the dressing.0

Baked Potato Skins Veggie Pizzas (You could use whatever toppings you like)
4 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed
cooking spray
sea salt
1 cup low-sodium tomato sauce
1 1/4 cups part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 bell pepper, thinly sliced (I used 3 mini bell peppers)
Italian seasoning, to taste
crush red pepper flakes, to taste
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 F.
Place the potatoes on a large baking tray. Bake the potatoes for 40 to 50 minutes, or until softened. Remove from the oven and let the potatoes cool slightly.
Cut each potato in half and scoop out the flesh, leaving about 1/4-inch of the potato skin. Lightly spray the potato skins with cooking spray and season with sea salt. Bake skins for 8 to 10 minutes on each side until they are crisp. Remove.
Fill each skin with about 2 tablespoon tomato sauce, top-up with mozzarella cheese, and bell pepper. Bake 15 to 16 minutes, or until the cheese has melted. Allow to cook for 5 minutes and serve warm.
Yield: 8 potato skin pizzas.

I use the Boboli pre-packaged pizza crust and cut it into sections before I put any toppings on it. Then, each family member can put whatever they want on their portion.
It's not what I would call "healthy", but a lot healthier and lower calorie than the pizza shop's and it's more fun for the kids to create their own. Plus, no one can complain about what's on it, since they did it themselves!0 -
You should be able to eat at least 1 slice without messing up your whole day. If I know I'm eating pizza for dinner, I only get mushrooms on it and I do an extra workout that day. That way, I fill my craving and don't go over my calorie count. Good luck!0

I take a krontos smart carb pita and put one cup roasted vegetables ( peppers, garlic, onion, asparagus, zucchini) and i oz of smoked string cheese. Put thins pieces of string cheese all over the top of the roasted veggies and place that under the broiler till the string cheese gets a little brown. Oh my, this is wonderful!!! If you wanted to add a little diced cooked chicken you could.
With no meat this is 400 calories, 21 carbs, and 10 fat
Totally totally delicious!0
