Lately I'm craving pizza. Is there such thing as a healthy frozen pizza, or a healthy pizza

[Mike 03]

from one of the major franchise companies?

The last time I ordered a pizza was in 2001. Since I quite nicotine, carbs have been on my mind.

Naughty me. Shame on me, I know...

1. Any thin-crust pizza can be healthy

if you go easy on the cheese, stick with marinara sauce, and pick lots of veggies. :)

2. Smart Ones makes pizza, I think Lean Cuisine as well.

The diety food doesn't taste as diety lately.

3. South Beach makes frozen pizzas and they are pretty good

Whole wheat crust and lots of fibre. Easy on the cheese.

4. California Pizza Kitchen

Thin crust and not swimming in cheese...pretty tasty, imo!

[VolcanoJen]

24. Mmmm, I second that!

My favorite frozen pizza by far. The Margherita is my favorite; not all that much cheese, so much flavor, and so thin and crispy that it doesn't even taste like a frozen pie!

5. If you want a pizza, get a small one so you don't sit there and stuff yourself

:shrug:

6. We have one of these

and every Friday night is pizza night. Most of the time I start with a frozen pizza, but sometimes I'll make whole wheat crust.

To make it healthy, we'll skip the meat (not that I eat that anyway) and pile on the veggies and spices. This past Friday, we had canned tomatoes from last summer's harvest, fresh spinach and portabella mushrooms. Our downfall is usually adding too much cheese.

7. Don't know about healthy, but homemade is fun to do

I'm making this as we type. Well, the glue is on 24 hour clamp. I'm hoping I can use standard parchment paper as the "converor."

We'll see :D

Stole idea from here.

8. Healthy? Skip the cheese and fatty meat.

Or at least limit the crazy crap they load it up with.

9. I love the thin crusts, Papa Murphy's Chicken Bacon Artichoke deLITE Pizza

Yum. But you have to find an outlet, buy it, bring it home and bake it.

The thin crust is my favorite, hate thick dough crusts.

10. I've found a couple of exceptional frozen

pizzas. Unfortunately, they are sold only at WholeFoods AFAIK - at least around here:

Eastside Cafe, which comes in cheese, sausage, sausage and mushroom, veggie and supreme. All are excellent.
Wolfgang Puck; I particularly like the uncured pepperoni

Cali Pza Kitchen frozen is also good, as is Chicago Avenue, which is a fabulous cheesebomb of epic, artery-clogging proportions. Almost forgot Home Run Inn super thin crust. Dee-lish,

Had Papa Murphy's for the first time a couple of weeks ago and it was, surprisingly to me, very good. Not Lombardi's good, nothing is, but good.

11. We used to make what we called a "pizza bake"

put all the ingredients into a dish - no crust - and baked it and ate it like a casserole. My favorite was ground beef, onion. mushrooms, black olives and a thin pizza sauce.

12. Amy's makes a roasted veggie and a rice crust spinach that are both pretty good.

The latter needs a little garlic, IMO, the former is pretty good right out of the oven.

And if you don't have some sort of epic health issue that would suffer as a result, there's no reason you can't eat a less-than-perfectly-healthy food like pizza every now and then.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

15. The trader joe's roasted veggie pizza is good too

And cheaper than the Amy's.

[LeftyMom]

18. True.

[yellowdogintexas]

13. Kashi frozen pizzas are good, and fairly healthy; also LeanCuisine, Healthy Choice

and SmartOnes are great. Any frozen dish that is only 6 or 7 Weight Watcher points is healthy enough

14. WE c an always give you a nice tombstone? Those are Free!

Though we wont see you for awhile.

16. Make your own.

You can buy whole wheat pizza dough (or a pre-made whole wheat crust). Make some tomato sauce, add some cheese, veggies, et voila.

I make a pizza with a pre-made whole wheat crust, some shredded mozzarella, spinach, garlic and parmesan.

17. There is no such thing as an unhealthy food unless

it has been laced with some heavy metal poison or some such thing.

Everything in moderation, maybe, but if you were starving and a big greasy pizza appeared, eating it would be a healthy thing to do.

So if you want pizza, eat pizza. (IMO, pizza is nature's perfect food--grains, meat, vegetables, dairy, in one yummy combination.))

[flvegan]

25. Well that was pretty ignorant.

[zulchzulu]

19. Here's a fast low-cal "pizza" solution

Burrito Shell Pizza

Get one burrito shell and lightly use oil, butter or margarine on one side and place on oven tray. Put salsa or tomato sauce on as a thin layer. Then add toppings. If veggie, add spinach leaves and other veggies that have been minced. Add cheese, grinded.

Cook for ten minutes at 350 degrees in oven if you want a crispy light "pizza".

21. I think I gained 20 pounds by just looking at it.

:rofl:

[Odin2005]

23. OMG! I'm a major carnivore but that is DISGUSTING!

:puke:

[Odin2005]

22. Actually, pizza is actually pretty healthy. It's just that people east too much pizza.

Something I'm as guilty as sin of...
