Pizza is a family favorite, but it can really be hard to manage the calories, even if you’re careful about serving size. For example, a 6” personal pizza at Pizza Hut is between 600 and 800 calories with more than half the calories coming from FAT! If you’re ordering take out, here are a few general guidelines that will put your pizza on the lighter side and save more than 300 calories. • Thin Crust over Thick • Half or Light Cheese • Double the Veggies; Half the Meat • Add Red Pepper Flakes and/or Parmesan for more flavor An even better option is these super easy Personal Pizzas, all under 200 calories. Our guarantee is that you can have these made and on the table faster than you can order delivery from your favorite place. Now that’s seriously Fast Food! Here are three different versions around 200 calories. We have managed the calories in two key ways – by utilizing a crispy tortilla as the crust and reducing the amount of cheese. We can do this because the customized sauce for each one has such great flavor.
