Low Calorie Pizza Toppings

These lower calorie pizza toppings are all great options to add to the top of your weight loss pizza.

I could not be sure what toppings you wanted to add, so I have included the calories for each of the toppings below. This way you can mix and match and create the prefect slice for you.

If you were to add all of the toppings, it would add 37 calories per slice of pizza. I like choose 1-3 to keep the calories (and the price) low.

• 1/2 cup fat free mozzarella cheese (5 calories per slice)
• 1/4 cup turkey pepperoni (9 calories per slice)
• 1 bell pepper sliced (3 calories per slice)
• 1/2 red onion sliced (2 calories per slice)
• 1/4 cup sliced black olives (3 calories per slice)
• 1/2 cup mushrooms (1 calories per slice)
• 1 Italian turkey sausage (9 calories per slice)
• 1 tomato sliced (2 calories per slice)
• 1 jalapeno sliced (1 calories per slice)

Healthy Tips and Swaps

You can easily modify this healthy pizza recipe to suit your own dietary needs! No matter what your current diet is, this pizza recipe can be modified to suit it!

Low Carb Pizza

This pizza recipe is already very low in carbs, this is because the dough is 50% Greek yogurt! You can balance the carbs more by adding protein to the pizza sauce and using protein heavy toppings. Check out this High Protein Pizza Recipe for tips on adding protein pasta and toppings.

Low Sodium Pizza

To make this pizza low in sodium remove the salt from the sauce (the tomatoes have enough “bite”) and swap the garlic salt in the dough for garlic powder. Also, be sure to choose low sodium toppings like veggies and low sodium cheese. Skip the pepperoni and high sodium meats.

High Protein Pizza

I actually wrote a full High Protein Pizza Recipe here. I added unflavored protein powder to the sauce and packed the toppings with loads of protein. Try out this recipe, it’s just a little modified from the low calorie pizza recipe.

Low Sugar Pizza

This pizza is already pretty low in sugar, but you could balance it more with some high protein toppings. The main “culprit” for the sugar is the sauce. But again it is still low in sugar. To cut the sugar more, make an Alfredo Pizza. That sauce is much lower in sugar.

Gluten Free Pizza

You can easily make this recipe gluten free by using gluten-free self rising flour! Also check that any sausage you ad to the tops say “gluten-free” as many store-bought Italian sausages do contain some gluten.

Vegan Pizza

To make this pizza vegan, swap out the Greek Yogurt in the dough for unsweetened cashew yogurt. Also swap out any cheese with a vegan mozzarella, and stay away from the meats.

How to Make Low Calorie Pizza

You can easily meal prep these low calorie pizzas! Here is how I do it either by the slice, or by the pizza.

How to Meal Prep Low Cal Pizzas:

• By the slice: Make the healthy pizza recipe according to the directions. Slice and allow to cool completely. Add 1-3 slices to a freezer bag or container and freeze or refrigerate. To reheat, add to the oven at 350 degrees and bake for 5-10 minutes, or microwave for 1-3 minutes, or pop in the toaster oven.
• Entire Pizza: Prepare the pizza dough and sauce as directed. Then top the rolled out dough with sauce and desired toppings. Cover well with plastic wrap (leaving on the baking tray). Place in the freezer, will hold for up to a month. To bake, follow the directions below on baking, but add 2-5 minutes if still frozen.

How to Make Healthy Pizza:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees, and set out a pizza tray or baking sheet.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the pizza sauce ingredients and mix well. Set aside to marinate.
3. In a mixing bowl, add the flour, yogurt, garlic salt and Italian seasonings and mix until combined.
4. Form into a ball of dough.
5. Lay a piece of parchment paper out on the countertop (it should be the size of the pizza tray you set out).
6. Place the dough in the center of the parchment paper. Top the dough with a little flour and a second piece of parchment paper.
7. Use a rolling pin to roll it out. It will be about 1/4 inch thick.
8. Move the pizza dough to the pizza tray, and remove the top layer of parchment paper.
9. Spread the sauce over the pizza crust. And add your desired toppings.
10. Transfer the pizza into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, when the crust is golden it’s done. Remove the pizza from the oven and slice into eight slices.
