Healthy Pizza Recipes

There are also many levels of low-carb. For example, if you're looking to cut the bread out all together, you might try a few of these ideas for your pizza crust:

If you're merely trying to cut down on carbs without cutting them out altogether, you might opt for a cracker thin crust or a whole wheat crust. Choosing whole wheat does make a difference.

For example, a Boboli pizza crust has 32g of carbs in 1/6 of the pizza. The Boboli whole wheat crust has 22g of carbs in 1/6 of the pizza. Choosing whole wheat knocks off 10g in carbs.

Definitely worth going with the whole wheat pizza crust (not to mention it is healthier and is a low fat pizza).
