Step 1 of 9

You can make an individual pizza for yourself and someone else. Start with a thin pizza crust (less calories). Lay the crust on a dry pizza stone.

Step 2 of 9

Sprinkle each crust with dried Italian seasoning for an authentic pizza flavor. Some cooks drizzle the crust with olive oil, but I skip that step to reduce calories. You'll never miss it!

Step 3 of 9

You can top each crust with pizza sauce or diced tomatoes or both. See how each crust is topped differently? If you decide to use pizza sauce select a brand without added sugar.

Step 4 of 9

Now, start adding everyone's favorite topping. The sky is the limit! Green peppers, onions, olives, mushrooms, pepperoni, jalapeño, spinach.........but only fresh ingredients.

Step 5 of 9

Organize your toppings.....If you like pepperoni, select a brand made without sodium nitrates/nitrites. Read the label!

Step 6 of 9

Some like it hot!

Step 7 of 9

Nestle the pizza toppings under a layer of mozzarella cheese. Be creative with your cheeses if you like - my crew likes to keep things simple.

Step 8 of 9

Bake your pizza at 350 or 375 degrees until done, which is usually around 25 mins.

Step 9 of 9

Uh oh! We devoured the pizzas before I snapped a picture for you! Next time.....I promise.

You're Done
