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 Thin Crust Cheese Pizza Review

Reviewed by Tanya Patrice | Apr 29, 2013
Rating:

Weight Watchers Smart Ones Thin Crust Cheese Pizza is described as a blend of reduced fat cheeses with a tangy tomato sauce on a crispy-thin crust. There aren't too many "real" pizza substitutes that I've enjoyed, but this one looked good on the packaging, so I was anxious to try it.

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 1 pkg (124 grams)
Calories: 280
Total Fat: 9 grams, 13%
Saturated Fat: 3.5 grams, 17%
Sodium: 480 mg, 20%
Carbohydrates: 34 grams, 11%
Fiber: 4 grams, 15%
Sugars: 4 grams
Protein: 16 grams

Unfortunately, I ended up underwhelmed. Like they said over at The Impulsive Buy - this pizza is really sad looking. It vaguely resembles pizza that you're familiar with. It is a decent size though, and the taste is just so-so. It's not terrible, but there's not much deliciousness and ooey-gooey-ness to it - it's more like bread with a little something extra. As you can see from all the reviews of Weight Watchers products, there are many I enjoy, but this is not going in that category.

Each serving of Weight Watchers Smart Ones Thin Crust Cheese Pizza (7 Points) provides 280 calories, 9 grams of total fat, 3.5 grams of which is saturated (13% and 17% of the daily values), 480 mg of sodium, 4 grams of fibers and sugars as well as 16 grams of protein.

I received samples for review, but it's available for sale in supermarkets for between #2 - $3.00. Unfortunately, this is not one that I would buy again. Other similar products by Weight Watchers Smart Ones that I would reach for are Weight Watchers SmartOnes Artisan Creations Chicken Marinara with Mozzarella Cheese Grilled Flatbread and Weight Watchers Smart Ones Artisan Creations Stone Fired Crust Pizza (Pepperoni).

“Hotdogs, cheeseburgers, pizza sticks, cheese burritos, chicken fingers, fish sticks…”

Food.
Is there a subject more complex or convoluted? Politics, religion, the differences between the sexes…those subject’s got nothin’ on food.
We need food to survive. Of course. But it’s not like we can take a pill of food in the morning like a birth-control pill and hope it works. Food demands our attention. And it has some people’s attention more than others (people such as me, a confessed foodie).
We love some food and we hate some food, but there’s never a consensus. We defend the foods we love like they were some kind of holy grail. I’ve listened to people argue over barbecue sauce recipes, for cryin’ out loud! That’s not love. That’s obsession.
There are times we cook food and times we grab food. At our most determined, we plan and implement a diet plan, and when that determination wanes, we drive through McDonald’s. We seek the magical comfort of mashed potatoes while standing firm in the face of cheesecake. We are conflicted.
When it comes to food, we all have choices. All of us, that is, except for the little ones. Those folks who are too young for debit cards, too young to voice their opinion (except to put their hands in front of their mouths in protest), and who rely on us…adults…to make the best food choices we can for them.
Meet Jessica. Jess is a 27-year-old mother to 11-month-old Sarah. Sarah attends a Class A daycare in Louisiana while Jess and her husband, Mark, work. Until now, Jess has provided the daycare facility with all of Sarah’s foods: breast milk and baby food.Now that Sarah is ready for “table” food, the daycare insists she eat what they provide. In fact, the government requires that Sarah’s lunch be delivered via the daycare. No home food is allowed without a doctor’s note. The problem is that Jessica isn’t real happy with the daycare’s food choices. It’s not that Jess is a picky, hard-to-please helicopter parent. Not at all. Jess is simply a food-conscious woman who wants her child to have every advantage of healthy, wholesome foods.
And to Jess, hotdogs, cheeseburgers, pizza sticks, cheese burritos, chicken fingers and fish sticks are not healthy, wholesome foods.

Anyone who has lost weight and is maintaining their weight probably didn’t get to weight loss and maintenance by eating a lot of hotdogs, cheeseburgers, pizza sticks, cheese burritos, chicken fingers, or fish sticks. But I’d be willing to bet they got there (raising my hand!) by eating hotdogs, cheeseburgers, pizza sticks, cheese burritos, chicken fingers, and fish sticks. Frequently.
Our Standard American Diet of fat and simple carbs is flat out wrong. We know this. And yet, it is perpetuated in our schools while we sit around scratching our heads wondering why we have an obesity epidemic!

Shame on school districts. And more appropriately (despite Michelle Obama’s efforts), shame on our government for sanctioning this disease-by-food policy.
I invite you to read Jessica’s blog, “The Healthy Conundrum.” Parents, foodies, weight losers, weight maintainers… please post your comments there as well as here. I look forward to the conversation.

Redefining the Meaning of Pizza Night

…but first, the time line of historical pizza-problems that led up to the need for serious change:

1987 (age 14): I was eating an average 8 slices of Domino’s Pizza every Friday with no weight gain.

1989 – 2003: I barely ate pizza at all, so no problem.

2004: My pizza addiction began. I ate an average 6 slices of takeout pizza every Friday night (plus everyone’s leftover crust) — the greasy kind made by pizza employee Joe Schmoe, who probably scratched his balls with his bare hand before prepping my order.

2004 – 2010: I gained weight, then lost weight (yay!), but STILL had a pizza-eating problem. My fitness progress was there, but slow going.

Early 2011: I decided that enough was enough. I was sick and tired of being controlled by my addiction (I call it that now, but didn’t recognize it as addiction at the time), and slowly reduced my Friday pizza-eating from 6 slices down to 2. I also identified other greedy carb overloads and reduced or eliminated them all together (good-bye entire loaves of french bread thickly smathered in butter). All of this took me many months to master.

2012: I’m through with takeout pizza forever, yet I still love pizza and see no need to give it up. I simply choose to re-define the meaning of Pizza Night to ensure my body transformation continues.

THIS was my dinner tonight…

My homemade pizza (before baking).

Fresh ingredients included: spinach, plum tomatoes and onions, plus basil, other Italian seasonings, and easy on the cheese. My homemade pizza was less expensive than takeout and definitely less calories, while bigger on taste and satisfaction. And did I mention zero guilt?

My pizza after baking.

There’s no reason to give up the foods you love. Simply scale back if that works for you. But as for me and pizza? That called for a totally new definition of what Pizza Night means to me.

Joe Schmoe is no longer taking my orders. No more delivery of greasy pizzas to my door. I’m making the damn pizza myself. Because it’s just better that way. ((burp))

Product Review: Pizza Fit ‘n Free – Fat Free Pizza!

A few weeks ago I got an email from Robyn after she listened to my podcast about Whole Wheat Pizza Dough. She wanted to bring Pizza Fit ‘n Free to my attention–a fat free pizza. I immediately requested samples so I could review for the site. It’s pizza people. PIZZA. You know how I feel about pizza. I even devoted a complete page with my pizza inspired creations.

The company was nice enough to send me a few samples. I have to admit–I didn’t have high hopes. I’m not the biggest frozen pizza fan. I’d much rather make my own on homemade whole grain pizza dough or Trader Joe’s whole wheat dough. But.. MAN.. it would be nice to have some single serves to pull out for a quick meal whenever the pizza urge strikes–which, for me, is often.

The Pizza Fit ‘n Free is a good size–about that of a standard tortilla pizza. I was actually surprised at the amount of cheese on top. Considering it’s "fat free" I just assumed there’d be minimal cheese.

According to the cooking instructions, you are suppose to cook the pizza frozen in a 400 degree oven for 8-10 minutes. So I fired up the oven and got working on my toppings. You didn’t think I’d leave the the pizza as is, did you? :) I decided on peppers and turkey pepperoni.

The company only offers plain pizzas and they actually encourage you to top them yourself. There’s even a whole page devoted to topping ideas straight from their customers.

Even though cooking instructions said 8-10 minutes I cooked mine for about 12. It came out looking like this…

Crispy crust, gooey cheese and complete pizza goodness!

I was seriously surprised how good it was. The cheese was amazing! I’ve never seen fat free cheese melt like real cheese before. I didn’t think it was possible! It’s why I don’t buy fat free cheese, ever. According to the web site…

How is your cheese fat free?
We have developed a way to process the fat out of the cheese, similar to the way they process the fat out of skim milk. The cheese is 100% real dairy mozzarella cheese with no fat substitutes.

Curious… but I must admit tasty.

The crust was ok, but like the cheese, it surprised me. I didn’t expect to get that "crunch" when I bit into it but I did. It made each bite very satisfying.

Nutritionally we’re looking at 248 calories, 0g of fat, 41g of carbs, 3g of fiber and 20g of protein per pie. That’s 4 old WWP and 6 new WWPP. Add a ton of "free" toppings and or a side salad and you got yourself a great pizza centric meal for pretty low points.

You guys know I feel about making your own meals–I do devote a whole site to it–but I’m also a big believer in planning and convenience. There will be times when you don’t feel like cooking dinner. When you are in a rush and have no desire to make a lunch for work the next day. There will even be times you just feel like having some pizza. It happens. :) When it does I’d rather have a few of these in my back pocket then pick up the phone and order in or hit a drive thru.

That’s why I’m joining the Pizza Fit ‘n Free affiliate program. I love when I find products I like and that I can work with. That means if you are interested in trying the fat free pizza and purchase it by clicking a link from my site I’ll earn 10% commission. I only partner with companies and recommend products that I have tried and enjoyed. It’s one way for me to earn money through the site, especially now that this is my JOB! :) Click here to check out other ways to shop and support Roni’s Weigh.

All that being said, I really do love the pizza, of course I do, again… it’s PIZZA! :) Has anyone else tried it before?

Tandoor Chef Naan Cilantro Pesto Pizza

(Photo Credit: Cooking with Coley)

My roommate and I were at the grocery store the other day and we decided to get pizzas for dinner. My friend picked out a tried and true favorite, Amy's Spinach Pizza, while I decided to try something new, Tandoor Chef Naan Cilantro Pesto Pizza. I noticed that the box contained two servings, so I decided that $2.99 for both dinner and the next day's lunch would be a great deal.

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 111 grams (1/2 the pizza)
Calories: 280
Total Fat: 13 grams, 20%
Saturated Fat: 4.5 grams, 22%
Sodium: 540 mg, 22%
Carbohydrates:32 grams
Fiber: 3 grams, 10%
Sugar: 4 grams
Protein: 10 grams

Tandoor Chef describes this pizza as, "Hand-stretched, all-natural artisan crust covered with a rich pesto sauce and topped with fresh mozzarella cheese, cilantro and tomatoes and fired in a Tandoor oven." Each pizza is supposed to be 2 servings, but a peek into the cardboard box revealed that there was no way a half of this pizza was going to make a satisfying dinner, so while it was in the oven getting toasty, I chopped up a big salad to accompany it. I down to enjoy my meal and after one bite, I was regretting not joining my roommate on the Amy's Pizza train.

The tomatoes were delightfully juicy, but came off in one bite, taking some cheese and sauce with them, thus making a small mess. The cheese was layered on in a fairly thick manner, providing the perfect chewy and gooey experience that I was hoping for. The crust was just as I had expected from naan, being thick and doughy with crispy, crunchy edges. The pesto is where I ran into trouble. I usually love pesto, but when it says "Cilantro Pesto", don't take the "Cilantro" part lightly. The cilantro was so overpowering and spicy that it left my mouth with a burning sensation after each bite. After one slice, I thought I had had enough; but I ended up finishing both slices when my mouth had cooled off a bit.

sponsor

I ate the remaining half of the pizza cold the next day at lunch and the cilantro was not quite as overpowering; but, honestly, they need to tone it down just a notch! A serving of Tandoor Chef Naan Cilantro Pesto Pizza provides 280 calories, 13 grams of total fat, 4.5 grams of which is saturated fat (20% & 22% of the daily value), 540 mg of sodium (22% of the DV), 3 grams of fiber, 4 grams of sugars and 12 grams of protein. The abundance of gooey cheese seems to be the reason why the fat and saturated fat content is so high.

Am I going to buy this pizza again? No. However, if you like things to have a hefty cilantro kick, then you should not think twice about sticking this Naan based pizza in your cart. Am I going to purchase another variety of the Tandoor Chef Naan Pizzas? You better believe it. I love the hand stretched crust and overall idea behind these all natural pies (all Tandoor Chef products are all-natural).

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.

sponsor

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.

Boboli 100% Whole Wheat Pizza Crust

When I introduce a "whole wheat" substitution to my family, I have to kind of sneak it in because they just have some kind of weird bias - I don't let them know about it until after they have eaten it. Sometimes they can tell the difference, most times they can't, as was the case with the Boboli 100% Whole Wheat Pizza Crust.

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 1/6th crust
Calories: 120
Total Fat: 2.5 grams, 4%
Saturated Fat: 1 gram, 5%
Sodium: 270 mg, 11%
Carbohydrates: 22 grams
Fiber: 4 grams, 16%
Sugars: 2 gram
Protein: 5 grams

All I can say is, I made some good pizza. There is very little difference between the taste of this pizza and that of 'regular' pizza crust - maybe just a tad bit of a more 'wheaty' taste, and I didn't notice much difference in how the crust comes out (I had made a thin crust pizza the day before).

The difference that's important to me is that it's 60 calories less than the Boboli Orginial Pizza Crust (20 calories less than Boboli's Thin Crust), and 3 grams more fiber. The ingredients list starts with whole wheat flour and it's not too long (although it's not all natural).

sponsor

I received 2 coupons for $5.00 each from Boboli, which is what I used to purchase the Boboli Whole Wheat Pizza Crust - regular price of $4.69. Doing the math with the cost of the ingredients to make a pizza, it can work out cheaper to buy a frozen variety. But the fun that the 2 kids had making their own pizza was priceless. So I would definitely buy Boboli 100% Whole Wheat Pizza Crust again.

Below is a picture of the products I randomly picked up to make the pizza - Bridgeford Turkey Pepperoni, which has 70% less fat than regular pepperoni, Cabot Part Skim Shredded Mozzarella Cheese and Contadina Pizza Sauce - I don't make pizza often so I wasn't sure what to get for the sauce, but this was 30 calories per 1/4 cup. Next time I might try regular tomato sauce and just adding my own seasonings. I will also not be making plain pepperoni pizza - sorry kids - but I have to throw some bell peppers on it - my favorite pizza topping. What's yours?!
