If you're craving pizza, the best thing you can do (aside from making one yourself!) is swing by the freezer section of your local supermarket. After all, even a slice of thin-crust, all-veggie delivery pizza can be loaded with fat and calories! Hungry Girl did some chewing, and we've got the frozen pizza lowdown...
South Beach Living Frozen Microwavable Pizzas
PER SERVING (1 pizza): 330 - 350 calories, 10 - 13g fat, 33 - 37g carbs, 8 - 10g fiber, 29 - 31g protein
Not only is the serving size an ENTIRE PIE (a small one, but an entire pie nonetheless!), but these things come in GREAT flavors -- Four Cheese, Pepperoni, Deluxe, Grilled Chicken & Vegetable, Spinach and Mushroom, and... wait for it... Buffalo-Style Chicken! And check out the protein these things are packing. Nice job, SBL!
Amy's Cheese Pizza Toaster Pops
PER SERVING (1 Toaster Pop): 160 calories, 6g fat, 21g carbs, 1g fiber, 5g protein
Is it a pizza, or is it a Pop-Tart? We don't know, and we don't care. It ROCKS! Slightly sweet tomato sauce + melty mozzarella + a doughy pocket = extreme and utter awesomeness! And with so few calories, you can even snack on one of these between meals (we won't tell!).
Kashi All Natural Orginal Crust Frozen Pizzas
PER SERVING (1/3rd of an approx. 13-oz. pizza): 290 - 300 calories, 9g fat, 37 - 39g carbs, 4 - 5g fiber, 14 - 16g protein
Oh Kashi, what can't you do?! We love your cereals and snack bars, and we love your frozen pizzas, too! These come in Five Cheese Tomato, Mediterranean, and Roasted Garlic Chicken. Yowza! All natural and ALL GOOD!
Amy's Spinach Pizza in a Pocket Sandwich
PER SERVING (1 Pocket Sandwich): 280 calories, 9g fat, 37g carbs, 3g fiber, 13g protein
Mmmm, it's another fun interpretation of classic pizza from our pals at Amy's. This one's large and oozing with two types of cheese: mozzarella and feta! And so much spinach, Popeye would be jealous...
Amy's Roasted Vegetable Pizza
PER SERVING (1/3rd of an approx. 13-oz. pizza): 270 calories, 9g fat, 42g carbs, 2g fiber, 6g protein
Wowowowow. Restaurant-quality pizza that's heat 'n' eat? It's true! With marinated mushrooms, roasted red peppers, sweet onions, AND artichoke hearts, you won't even miss the cheese. That's right, this one's cheese-free and proud of it. Share one with some pals, or slice it up into minis and serve as a fun appetizer!
Lean Pockets Made with Whole Grain Supreme Pizza
PER SERVING (One 4-oz. sandwich): 220 calories, 7g fat, 30g carbs, 3g fiber, 10g protein
Supreme pizza with only 7g fat?!? YES!!! This pocket is stuffed with sausage, pepperoni, green peppers, marinara sauce, and mozzarella cheese! Plus it's packed with whole grains -- 16g per serving. We're supremely grateful for this thing when pizza cravings attack!
HG Hot Pizza Tip: DIY Portion Control!!!
A couple of our favorite frozen pizzas are GIGANTIC. To avoid devouring the whole thing, have a big salad beforehand or enlist the help of two hungry buddies, OR just wrap up the extra servings right away, and put 'em in the fridge immediately. Crisis averted.
