Well, I don't know why it look me so long to figure this out, but.. I found a way to enjoy pizza and avoid the pitfalls of it!
PIZZA BY THE SLICE!
I found an amazing pizza joint that offers pizza by the slice any time of day and the slices run around 500 calories each (they are BIG slices from a 24" pie!)
So we did exactly that Saturday night.. everyone got their own slices and there were no tempting left overs to bring home

SCORE!!
