Pepperoni Pizza Trick That Saves on Calories

This trick is for pepperoni lovers… I don’t always want a slice of pizza with veggies on it. Gimme some meat on that thang! On average, a sliced piece of pepperoni is about 10 calories each. That meaty ingredient alone can rack up the calories, but the combination of meat & cheeses doesn’t need to be cause for alarm. This Pepperoni Pizza Trick will allow you to keep your hungry jaws gnashing with joy.

In the example right here, I’ll save 40 calories per slice while still getting the exhilarating taste of pepperoni. I’m about to get all scientific on you, so please observe…

STEP 1: Go get yo’self a slice of pizza. It must be the pepperoni kind if this trick is going to work.

STEP 2: Peel off all pepperoni slices. This might seem weird but the trick is not over, so just do it.

STEP 3: Here’s where the trick comes to life: The tasty residue of the pepperoni (aka, the flavor-grease residue) lingers atop the pizza to deliver a pepperoni-ish experience. Although you won’t get full blown pepperoni taste (along with the extra calories), your taste buds will bask in a similar experience that is uber-satisfying and way more tasty than a plain slice of cheese.

Some days takeout pizza is a complete no-no. Other days, a veggie pizza is best. But on those days when a splurge is on the menu, don’t settle for a boring plain slice of cheese. The Pepperoni Pizza Trick is real tasty ‘n stuff. Try it!

Weight Watchers Smart Ones Artisan Creations Stone Fired Crust Pizza (Pepperoni)

I've actually only had one Weight Watchers Smart Ones pizza before, Weight Watchers Smart Ones Four Cheese Pizza, and it was just average. But I am a huge fan of single serving pizzas - you eat it, there's no left-overs and thus no temptation - so I decided to try another variety and opted for the Weight Watchers Smart Ones Artisan Creations Pepperoni Stone Fired Crust Pizza - yes, long name.

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 173
Calories: 390
Total Fat: 8 grams, 13%
Saturated Fat: 3 grams, 15%
Sodium: 730 mg, 30%
Carbohydrates: 58 grams
Fiber: 4 grams, 17%
Sugars: 7 grams
Protein: 20 grams

I have to say that after I microwaved this, the pizza looked absolutely delightful. Large pepperoni slices covered the entire pizza, and it looked sufficiently cheesy. I bit into it and discovered that it was very tasty as well. The pepperoni was slightly spicy and the tomato sauce was just enough - I do not like tomato sauce dripping off my pizza and overwhelming the entire thing. The crust was not exactly crispy, but it was good enough for me. I think if I had opted to put this in the toaster oven it would have improved that aspect.

The entire pizza is one serving (thank goodness), and provides 390 calories, 8 grams of total fat which includes 3 grams of saturated fat (13% and 15% of the daily value), 730 mg (a whopping 30% of the DV), 4 grams of fiber, 7 grams of sugars and 20 grams of protein.

The ingredients list is not surprisingly lengthy, but it actually has mostly what you expect to find. I paid $2.50 for this and it was excellent as a filling lunch. For dinner, I would probably add a side of my favorite veggies to make this more satisfying. Another plus is that Weight Watchers Smart Ones meals go on sale regularly, making it even more cost effective.
