“You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I'm not hungry enough to eat six.” Yogi Berra

I love pizza.  Carbs, tomato sauce, and cheese--a glorious trio of heavenly smells.  From the humble English Muffin Pizza to the 2 AM slices sold for a dollar at your local pizzeria to feed the  college age bar closers--this magical food needs to be in every diet...and you can eat it while on a diet.

Ezekiel Bread with fresh tomato slices, 1/4 cup 1% Fat Mozzarella Cheese with 1 TBS pesto.  
Bake at 375 degrees F for 10 minutes. 

Below:
1 pizza two ways.
1 roll out pizza crust, I used Pillsbury
1 bag low fat mozzarella cheese
3 TBS pesto
Olive Oil
1 bag of arugula or spinach
2 peppers
1/2 cup tomato sauce


Roll out pizza onto floured surface and roll it as thin as you can (this increases the number of servings and decreases the calories).  Cut dough in to two and fit one part on a baking sheet, pizza stone--anything that'll go in the oven.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Pizza with Arugula and Roasted Peppers with Pesto (makes 3 servings)
Top plain crust with thin layer of pesto, add diced peppers and 1-2 cups of arugula and 1 cup of cheese.  Bake for 18 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is a golden brown.

Old School Cheese Pizza (makes a great breakfast)
Top other crust with tomato sauce and 1 cup of cheese, I added oregano and dried basil on top for some color, drizzle 1 TBS olive oil on top.  Bake and enjoy!
