Lower Fat Pizza

Less Cheese, More Veggies

By , About.com Guide

Enjoy a lower fat pizza treat by assembling your own. Use whole wheat pita bread as a base, with some low-sodium tomato sauce on top. Sprinkle a reduced fat cheese blend over the sauce. For extra nutritional value, load your pizza with plenty of vegetables, such as baby spinach, fresh tomatoes, red onion, sweet peppers, mushrooms and zucchini. For meat lovers, try using extra-lean ground beef, extra-lean ham, turkey bacon or crumbled turkey sausage instead of their higher fat counterparts.
