Healthly Pizza Anonymous
Just cheated yesterday by ordering pizza. Haven't had pizza in like 2 months and it was amazing. so I decided I wanna eat pizza more (making it myself). What are some ways I can make Pizza less of a no-no?

my ideas:
use whole wheat flour for the bread/crust
make thin crust pizzas
use a lot of sauce and less cheese
load with garlic, peppers, mushrooms, and onions

btw whats the healthiest kind of cheese to use?

cheddar is the best that melts good i guess

pizza can be good, you should probably just make thin crusts though. So it isnt loaded with extra carbs

Mozzarella isn't that bad for you, and the easiest melting cheese. I have shredded low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese (Wal*Mart brand) and it's 80 calories (50 calories from fat... 6 grams per serving) for 1/3 of a cup. And 1/3 of a cup is quite a bit of cheese. You could make really healthy crust very easily, and if you want to avoid sugar in sauces, you could even just use tomatoes if you wanted. Maybe even look into calzones or whatnot. Homemade healthy pizza is very easy to do.

Oh, and another idea is to make mini pizzas. This might be easier. Instead of having to worry about the crust, use english muffins, bagels, or even just bread if you wanted, throw the ingredients on top and bake. Very good and much simpler.

Actually, if you like cold pizza, a cottage cheese/tomato sauce/veggie mix on a whole wheat english muffin sounds pretty delicious to me. I might have to try that.

Try Trader joe's Tomato sauce, They have one with low salt content.

Flour tortillas work really well for small, healthy pizza crusts. Put the oven to about 425, and cook the tortillas for about 5-10 minutes, until the stop being floppy. Then take them out, put your sauce, cheese, toppings, etc. and throw them back in for another 5-10. They come out really nicely, and you can get creative with the toppings and things easily (for example, grilled chicken and barbecue sauce instead of pizza sauce, or mushrooms and pesto). They're cheap, easy, and they can be healthy if you use healthy toppings and not a ton of cheese.
