THE BEST LOW CALORIE PIZZA
Have you ever been eating pizza, and it's just so good that you want to eat the whole pizza?
But, of course, you only have a slice or two because it will be thousands of calories if you have any more.
Well, this low calorie pizza is more than good, and you're going to want to eat the whole thing - and that's totally ok! Why? Well, this entire 9-inch pizza has under 500 calories with just 80 calories per slice! Consider your pizza craving satisfied.

Dreams really do come true - at least they do when it comes to making healthy pizza.
INGREDIENTS

Another thing I love about this pizza is that it uses some pretty common ingredients. And if you don't have everything at home, you can easily find all of these ingredients at your local grocery store!
What's crazy is that this isn't a cauliflower pizza crust recipe, so it uses pretty much the same ingredients as regular pizza crust.
Here is what you'll need:
- Just less than ¾ Cup self-rising flour
- ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- Pinch of salt
- 3 Tbsps Almond milk
- ½ Cup low calorie pizza sauce
- Heaping ⅓ cup fat-free mozzarella
- Heaping ⅓ cup part-skim mozzarella

Optional pizza crust coating:
- 1 Tbsps olive oil
- ½ teaspoon of garlic salt
Optional toppings:
- Pepperoni
- Anything else you want
Pretty simple, right?

Oh, and if you are going to the store, check and see if you need anything to make these low calorie chocolate chip cookies.
Each cookie has 59 calories, and is there anything better than pizza for dinner and cookies for dessert?

THE CHEESE
So, as you may have noticed, we will be using a mix of fat-free and part-skim mozzarella cheese. Doing this will keep the calories of the pizza down while still giving it the ideal melty texture.
If you want to cut down on the calories even more, you can make my homemade pizza sauce instead of buying one from the store!
OPTIONAL ADDITIONS

There are a few optional additions to elevate the flavor of this low calorie pizza.
One is to give the crust a garlic coating for a little extra flavor. It is so delicious, but just keep in mind that it will add a few more calories to the pizza.
Another option you have is to add on any low calorie pizza toppings that you want!

My favorite topping is to use turkey pepperoni. And I like to use the 70% less fat kind - it cuts the calories of regular pepperoni in half and gives you that classic cheese and pepperoni pizza experience.
By the way, if you want to create a BBQ chicken pizza, I have a low calorie, sugar free BBQ sauce recipe that would work perfectly! Or you can use alfredo sauce instead of the pizza sauce.
HOW TO MAKE LOW CALORIE PIZZA
As I mentioned earlier, this low calorie pizza recipe is super quick and easy to make.
You'll have it cooked to perfection, sliced, and ready to eat before a pizza would even be delivered. But of course, this is healthy and low in calories, yet tastes just like it's from a pizza shop.
Ok, I know you're ready to dig into this deliciousness, so let's get to it!
STEP 1: MAKING THE DOUGH

First, add the flour, xanthan gum, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to a large bowl and whisk them until combined.
Next, pour in the almond milk and use a spatula to mix everything until a crumbly dough forms.
Then when it does, use your hands to work the ingredients together into a ball of dough.
Once you have a dough ball, wrap it with parchment paper, preheat the oven to 550 degrees Fahrenheit (285°C), and let the dough rest next to the oven as it heats up.
STEP 2: ROLLING THE DOUGH

When the oven reaches 500 degrees, lay out a large piece of parchment paper on a flat surface and coat your hands and a rolling pin with flour over the paper.
Then unwrap the dough from the plastic wrap, rub some of the flour from your hands onto it, and lay the dough down on the piece of parchment paper to create a lightly floured surface.

Next, use the rolling pin to roll the dough out until it reaches around 10 inches in diameter. When it does, make a small indent with a 7-inch bowl on the top of the dough. Then roll the extra dough - outside the indent - towards the center to form the crust.
After that, use your hands to flatten and shape the crust - you'll want to work the crust outwards to get it to be about 9 inches in diameter.

STEP 3: BAKING THE PIZZA
First, use a basting brush to cover the crust with olive oil and remove any excess parchment paper from around the dough.
Then put the crust with the parchment paper underneath on a pizza tray or baking sheet and bake the crust for around 3-4 minutes.
Next, remove it from the oven, spread the pizza sauce on the dough, sprinkle the cheese on top, add the turkey pepperoni, and brush the crust with more olive oil and top it with garlic salt.

Then put the pizza back in the oven and bake for around 8 minutes until the cheese has completely melted and the crust is golden brown. Then cut into as many pizza slices you want and enjoy!
STORING THE PIZZA

So, this recipe makes a 9-inch personal pan pizza. And even though it is super low calorie, it is pretty filling, so you might not finish the whole pizza.
If you are sharing the pizza, it definitely will be gone. But if you're enjoying it yourself and have some leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container or wrapped tightly with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
How To Reheat Pizza
Now, you can either this delicious food cold or if that's not your thing, you can easily reheat it.
Either pop your pizza in the toaster oven until warm or put it on a baking sheet lined with tin foil and bake for about 5 minutes at 450°F or until it reaches your desired temperature.
WRAPPING IT ALL UP

Well, that's how to make pizza that's quick, easy, and out of this world delicious!
Not only do I think this is the best healthy pizza out there, but I think it might be the best homemade pizza you can make. It's seriously one of the best healthy pizza recipes.
The low calorie pizza crust is so flavorful and crispy that it tastes like it was cooked in a brick oven. And you can customize the toppings and create any pizza you want since this has just 80 calories per slice!
