 Frozen Pizza - Look for single-serving pizzas (you get to eat the whole thing!), and be sure to check the serving size of those multi-serving pies. A fair amount of fiber is also advised (at least 4 grams per serving)! Here are some of my favorites: Kashi All Natural Thin Crust Frozen Pizzas, Amy's Pizzas and Pizza Snacks, Lean Cuisine Casual Cuisine Pizzas, and Weight Watchers Smart Ones Artisan Creations. Unconventional Crusts - Try out sassy pizza bottoms like high-fiber tortillas (click here for the 411 on an HG favorite, from La Tortilla Factory!), light English muffins (high in fiber with about 100 calories each), and even certain veggies, like bell peppers (sliced and baked), eggplant (sliced and grilled), and portabella mushroom caps (click here for a great recipe)! Sauces & Swaps - Look for fat-free jarred pizza sauce with about 30 calories per 1/4-cup serving. Canned crushed tomatoes are a good alternative, since they're low in sodium and you can season 'em to taste. And for a new twist on pizza sauce, use canned low-fat tomato soup. (Amy's Chunky Tomato Bisque is my favorite!) Cheeses & Toppings - Light string cheese is perfect for pizza -- just halve a stick and toss it in the blender (or just pull it apart) for EZ grated cheese with built-in portion control! For lots of flavor without a lot of fat, use reduced-fat Parmesan-style grated topping. And last but not least, turkey pepperoni is a must! Way less fat than the standard stuff and SO delicious. Hormel makes the best kind, hands down!
