When we're out in public, people often want to know, "What is your favorite dish that you cook?" You won't be shocked by the response if you know us. PIZZA. Alex as well as I spent our honeymoon throughout Italy, and the ten years since then have been dedicated to perfecting the skill of making handcrafted gourmet pizza. We've even become a little specialized. We've perfected our dough, sauce, and Margherita pizza recipe, and it's to die for. Your choice of traditional cheese pizza or a taco pizza is available. But what if you're in the mood for something...lighter? We were challenged to come up with a pizza recipe that was both nutritious and delicious. Can we ever? All the information you need to know is right here.

Pizza With Pepperoni And Vegetables On A Thin Crust

All lovers of paper-thin pizzas, please respond! Half of one of these veggie-filled pizzas (instead of just a slice) is just 250 calories. Peppers and mushrooms are piled high on a whole wheat tortilla toasted to a beautiful brown. If you're watching your calorie and fat intake, swap out the pork or beef pepperoni with turkey.

Veggie Banh Mi Pizza

To satisfy our craving for a Vietnamese sandwich, we turned to one of our favorite cookbook authors and bloggers, Gaby Dalkin, to create a light and nutritious homemade pizza inspired by the flavors of the traditional sandwich. This meatless mashup features pickled carrots, fresh cilantro, and Fresno peppers, all staples of Vietnamese sandwiches. I recommend making an extra batch of the sauce, which includes rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, soy sauce, and seafood sauce, because it's incredibly delicious.

I-Made-It-Myself Pizza

Use this healthy pizza recipe as inspiration for a bring-your-own-pizza (BYOP) party. The pizza dough may be divided into parts so that each diner can top their own with fresh, vitamin-rich toppings and two DIY sauces. With this newfound flexibility, the main challenge will be settling on which toppings should take center stage in your pie.

Pizza With Pesto, Tomato, And Bacon With Arugula On Top

What could top a bacon-topped pie? Incredibly healthy bacon pizza that won't make you feel guilty. Whole wheat dough, olive oil-rich pesto sauce, as well as baby arugula, come together to create a nutritious pizza that tastes like a gourmet take on the classic BLT.

Pizza Tutto (Everything)

This pizza recipe strikes the perfect mix between health and indulgence. Sausage and pepperoni are hearty standard toppings that satisfy delivery pie enthusiasts. Fruity banana peppers, meaty artichoke hearts, and briny olives provide a healthy dose of fiber, antioxidants, and fat. Cutting the pepperoni into quarters makes the 25 pieces seem like considerably more, and it's much simpler to distribute the affection equally among the quarters.

Breakfast Pizza With Steak And Eggs

Dine on steak and eggs for less than 400 calories with homemade pizza. Before adding the steak, mozzarella, red pepper, as well as kale, prebake the crust to give that one a head start. Next, gently slip the eggs onto the top after cracking them open. In only 18 minutes, you'll have perfectly cooked eggs with a runny yolk and bubbling cheese. You can make this a complete meal by serving it with a salad at either supper or breakfast.

Quattro Stagioni

Yes, you can all eat the same pie, even if you have varied fillings tastes. With these four toppings, you can build a pizza that everyone will enjoy without sacrificing health. This handmade pizza has it all: cheese, portobello mushrooms, salty prosciutto, peppers packed with vitamins, and artichoke hearts.

Cauliflower Flatbread With Chicken Scarpariello

The Italian-American main course treat of chicken scarpariello, with its perfect balance of spicy and sweet, acidic and indulgent, served as the idea for this light and tasty handmade pizza. Instead of being braised for a long time, the chicken, peppadew peppers, and lemon are used as a topping for a cauliflower crust with minimal calories and carbohydrates.

Tlayuda (Mexican Pizza)

This quick and healthy pizza recipe is ready in just 4 minutes, using flour tortillas as the crust. While the crust is delicious, it's the sauce that truly makes this dish stand out. Inspired by traditional Mexican mole, the sauce features pumpkin seeds, tomato sauce, cinnamon, a blend of spicy and warm spices, and bittersweet chocolate. Trust us, it's fantastic.

Topped with black beans, Oaxaca cheese, crispy cabbage, Roma tomatoes, and freshly buttered avocado slices, this pizza is a delicious twist on a classic.

Pizza Primavera

Asparagus as well as fresh bell peppers, both of which are high in antioxidants, are just two of the many vegetables that make up this flatbread pizza that is excellent for sharing as an appetizer. The best part? This healthy pizza may be ready to slice and serve in 35 minutes since it is based on a flatbread that has already been cooked.

Conclusion

So, you've decided to attempt a nutritious pizza. To begin, I'd want to go through the characteristics of a bad pizza. It's 300 calories for one slice of Pizza Hut's pepperoni pizza. That pizza boasts a thick layer of carb-laden dough, oozing cheese, and meat. So, are you interested in a handmade option that is both fresh and healthy?
