Pizza, Pizza!

So, my IL's are always ordering pizza. Every time they do this, I freak out because I know how many calories there are in one little piece and just looking at the grease dripping off of it makes me sick!  I like pizza, but not the gross feeling I have after eating a few pieces!  While grocery shopping last week, I found something wonderful......

For only 90 calories, you can have 1/6th of this crust.  And the best part is, there are two crusts in the package!  So, I popped one of these on my pizza stone, brushed some olive oil on it and put some low calorie toppings on it.

Pizza Sauce = 70 calories for 1/2 cup ( 1/2 cup goes a long way)
Turkey Pepperoni = 70 calories for 17 slices
Low Cal Shredded Cheese = 80 calories for 1/3 cup
I ate 1/4th of the pizza and let K have the rest.  After all, he was out all day working hard in the cold weather.  :-)  He loves cheese, so his portion had a lot more on it than mine did.  I also piled on the pepperoni for his.  Then I baked the pizza for 15 minutes at 350 degrees.  The package said it only needed to be in for 8-10 minutes, but I like my crust a little crispier.  

This was my slice, which had 7 pieces of pepperoni, 1/3 cup cheese & minimal sauce.  I estimated my serving to be about 4 WW points.  MUCH better than the 6-8 points I would be using on a piece from the local pizza place!  And I still had enough points left over for a soft serve cone from McD's!  Great Day!  :-)

  2. You would love that crust! I found it at our favorite big store (sarcasm). I tried it the first night on a cookie sheet, and it was eh, okay. The next time we had it, I put it on my stone and YUMM!! You should try it! :-)
