This does not mean that pizza lovers should stay away from cheese pizza. If low-fat cheese is used, they can have their cheese pizza and eat it, too. Surprisingly, a slice of thin-crust cheese pizza from Domino's contains only 123 calories, according to a 2008 breakdown by NutritionData, published by CondeNet Inc.

This original recipe may even beat the Domino's 14" Cheese Pizza to the punch. A multigrain or whole-wheat crust can be used for added nutrition. However, that may be acquired taste for some people, so even a regular pizza base or dough is fine, as long as the quality of the cheese is given close attention. Low-fat cheese is all that is needed. If the cheese is higher in fat, less should be used. Less should definitely be used if the cheese is high in salt.

Ingredients & Preparation Tips

  • The oven should be pre-heated to 450 degrees F. The dough should be placed on a lightly greased pizza pan. It can be flattened with a rolling pin or with one's hands if there is no rolling pin.
  • The pasta sauce used on the base gives the pizza a tangy flavor, and is a good source of vegetables in general and tomatoes in particular.
  • Any two low-fat cheeses can be used, such as part-skim mozzarella or low-fat cheddar cheese. If a creamy and salty cheese is used, such as gorgonzola or blue cheese, less should be used.
  • Cheese is a good source of calcium and protein, as well as the less desired fat.
  • Fresh or dried herbs add a touch of green, and also enhance the nutrition value of this cheese pizza by giving it a more wholesome flavor. When herbs are used, salt and pepper are not needed. In fact, herbs are said to be more nutritious substitutes for salt.
