Who doesn’t like pizza? Well, there may be a few out there who don’t consume the product for one reason or another. Too much cheese, too much fat, too much everything.

But, there are ways you can make this wonderful pie healthy and delicious — especially if you make it at home.

Start with a great homemade crust rolled out so thin it’s like a cracker and the toppings you can put on can make a great meal eaten with one hand.

I’ve made homemade pizza on many occasions and each time my family raves about it. I don’t do anything that especially awesome, but when you make a pizza at home you have the chance to put on what you like and leave off what you don’t.

One family favorite at my house is a Buffalo chicken pizza. Starting with a nice, thin crust I add caramelized onions and plenty of shredded chicken. Top it off with a small sprinkling of mozzarella cheese and finish it off with several drizzles of wing sauce (whatever kind you like). Bake it until the crust is nice and crispy. Just before serving, drizzle on a little (fat free) ranch-style dressing. My family devours this pizza every time it comes out of the oven.

Any pizza can be made lower in fat by using reduced-fat or low-fat cheeses and sauces.
