Pizza

Flat Out Light are high protein tortillas that many grocery stores carry. I used to take one, cut it in half, toast it up in the toaster oven until it was crispy, and then either cover it in pizza sauce or pesto, then cheese and turkey pepperoni or cheese and cooked chicken...whatever toppings you prefer, and put it back in on broil to make the toppings all bubbly. It was delicious. Now, at 3 years post-RNY, sometimes I have 1-2 slices of actual pizza (while not a great food choice, it's a far cry from before surgery when I could polish off a whole pizza all by myself!).
I use a low carb pita.... I like DC Girl's idea, to use flatout bread and toast it....
I have never tried the chicken crust pizza someone linked...but have seen rave reviews of people loving it...

I use low moisture shredded mozerella cheese for my pizza crust...SOOOOOO good!
In a 8-9 inch non-stick skillet add a large handful of mozerella cheese (I use a ceramic skillet that can also go under the broiler)
Let the cheese thoroughly melt, keep lifting the crust to check the underside until it reaches the desired doneness. Once the underside has reached the preferred doneness, remove the skillet from the burner. Let cool
When crust has cooled, add 2 tablespoons of low sugar pizza sauce (I use Classico) or marinara sauce. Spread around the top of the crust, completely covering it.
Add desired toppings (mushrooms, onions, pepperoni, italian sausage, green pepper, etc.)
Cover the topping(s) with another handful of the mozerella cheese.
Sprinkle basil flakes over the top.
Put skillet containing tbe pizza under the broiler until the cheese topping is melted and lightly browned, remove from broiler and let cool.
Once cooled, transfer finished pizza onto a plate, slice and serve.

I recently made little mini zucchini pizzas and they were a huge hit! And easy to make!
Slice a zucchini so you have 1/8-1/4 inch round slices...lightly mist or brush with olive oil...bake
at 400 degrees for 5 minutes...take out & top with fat free shredded mozz. cheese & Italian seasoning
you can also add any other topping...put back in oven & bake til cheese melts...that's it! Enjoy
I use pork rinds for pizza. 1/4 cup crushed with 1/4 cup parmesan cheese. Add one egg and italian seasonings and some garlic. I use parchment paper on a pizza pan and spread it out very thin. It may be sticky. If you barely wet your hands, it makes it easier. I cook it at 350 for 10 minutes. Then I take it off the paper and cook on just the pizza pan for about 5 more minutes(I like a crunchy base). Then I get it out and add cheese and my toppings. You put it in under broil for about 3ish minutes. Make sure you watch it close or it could burn. I take it out, cut it up and dip it in pizza sauce. AMAZING...
