Mmmm, try this mouth-watering pizza with a light, crunchy base!
Per serving: 133 calories, 4g fat and 7g carbs
Saves: 316 calories, 22g fat and 25g carbs over traditional cheese pizzas!

Suggestions:

If using fresh tomatoes, place in a bowl and pour boiling water over. Allow to stand 1 to 2 minutes. Drain tomatoes and plunge into cold water. Skin should readily peel off.

Ingredients:

Traditional cheese pizza is high in calories and fat, particularly when 'stuffed'. Our recipe makeover lowers calories by replacing the thick crust with pita bread and using a smaller amount of cheese.
