My mom got me to like the pita bread pizzas, and they are so so good. She also would make a pita bread hamburger that is really good all you have to do is put all you fixings with the hamburger in the pita and I use to use just mustard because it has no calories. Yum now I know what im going to get the next time I go to the store. Also these are both meals that I know my whole family would enjoy.

Do you cut the pita in half, or just open it and stuff it and put it in the oven?

I cut my pitas in have because really that is big enough. For the pizza one I do put it in the oven but for the hamburger no. I really need to get a toaster oven because on hot days I hate heating up the whole house. If you try it enjoy they are good.

Hi from the original poster.

Thanks for all the feedback and advice.

I ended up having a nice big salad and a couple of wasa crackers with fat free cheese melted on top and sprinkled with some extra spicy Mrs. Dash.

Not exactly what I was craving but the best I could do without giving in and calling Dominos.

Next time I go shopping I'm going to buy the ingredients to make healthier pizzas at home.

I don't like Lean Cuisine Pizzas either. (Or Healthy Choice, or even regular Stouffers). To me they have a wierd artificial flavor.

Marlu, although it wasn't ideal, it was a great solution! Good for you for not caving in. That actually sounds like a pretty good snack.

Next time you'll be better prepared!

Pizza is a major weakness of mine. I've been very good at not eating bad food. I had a cookie today and it was my first "sweet" in over a week or so. I am glad that we don't eat out a whole lot, because that is usually what we get.

Marlu, Great solution!

I do have pizza, probably 2x a month lately. We always buy the thin crust Freschetta cheese pizza. A third of the pizza (2 nice size pieces) is 330 calories. I load it up with mushrooms, and then have a great big salad with low calorie dressing.

I mean.. do you cut the round pita in half and then stuff one half, or do you do that and then cut one half in half long ways? Get that? haha

I'm curious if anyone has tried ground turkey on a pizza instead of hamburger? It's something I've been considering trying out the next time I really want pizza and choose to make a healthier option at home.

I've used turkey for tacos and it was a major success, I actually prefer it to beef!

Sorry about that, yes I do cut it in half first before I stuff it , I just eat I half of the pocket. Did that answer the question?

I think ground turkey sounds good. I have used it instead of ground beef alot. Even when I wasnt health concious I use to sub ground turkey instead of hamburger im hamberger helper and it was really good. As far a hamburger helpers go. Turkey tacos sounds good though. yum!!
