    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.

    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."

    Love Flatout Pizza, it is a Godsend to me.

    I just saw this on pintrest! Yum!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    This is a very low calorie, large serving size, pizza substitute. 116 calories if you don't make the bread. It's not pizza, but it's a soup/stew that is really healthy and tastes like pizza. http://www.food.com/recipe/pizza-stew-148086

    Pizza Stew
    1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
    1 bell pepper , diced
    ½ cup chopped onion
    2 garlic cloves , minced
    28 ounces tomatoes , cut up
    2 cups loose-pack frozen broccoli carrots cauliflower mix
    15 ounces pizza sauce or 15 ½ ounces pizza sauce
    1 ½ cups tomato juice
    ½-1 tablespoon oregano
    ½ teaspoon fennel seed , crushed
    6 slices French bread , toasted

    Directions:
    1 In a large saucepan cook mushrooms, onion, and garlic until onion is tender.
    2 Stir in undrained tomatoes, frozen vegetables, pizza sauce, tomato juice, oregano, and fennel seed. Bring to boiling. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
    3 Meanwhile, toast bread under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes.
    4 To serve, ladle the veg mixture into bowls. Top each serving with a slice of toasted bread.

    We have pizzas about once a week here...I use these huge whole wheat pitas (170 cals) and then top it with homemade pizza sauce, lots of veggies, and then about 1 ounce of mozz cheese. Sometimes I add on anchovies or turkey pepperoni for protein, but since I try to avoid processed deli meats like pepperoni, this doesn't happen often. I make 2 at a time, then bring one to work for lunch the next day.

    So satisfying - I don't feel like I am missing out on anything at all. For a little bit more calories, I can eat one of my pizzas vs. 1/8 (what a frikken small slice) of a frozen store-bought pizza.

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

    I do this! I grab a whole grain tortilla shell, put on about 2tbs of pizza sauce and 1/4 cup mozzerella cheese. I even cut it into 6 pieces, and drink a bunch of water btwn slices. Makes a great lunch and I feel good b/c its pizza!
    I did the same but w/ salsa and taco cheese, and sprinkled w/ shredded lettuce.

    Its ok though to splurge on a piece of normal pizza though! Just plan your day around it :)

    You can use thin wheat crust and turkey pepperoni. Turkey pepperoni taste basically the same with half the calories and thin wheat crust has less calories too. You can make it or buy the crusts already made. You can also use lower calorie cheese. Alternatively you can make pizza pasta just use wheat pasta and regular pizza toppings and sauce mixed in. Tastes great and your family will like it

    I found this recipe for cauliflower crust and can't wait to try it myself!

    http://www.recipegirl.com/2012/01/16/cauliflower-crust-hawaiian-pizza/

    There are so many varieties of toppings that you can use to make it healthy.

    Also, I've used a whole wheat tortilla before and topped it with vegetables and cheese then pop it in the oven and sliced it up like pizza for lunch.
