There’s no question about it, pizza is my absolute most favorite food, EVER. I never tire of it, and even when it’s bad pizza, it’s still pretty good. Seriously, I will knock you over, running to get a piece. I realize that my pizza obsession may be a bit of a problem. So to help keep my pizza feasting in check, I make these quick and easy mini pizzas that are pretty darn tasty and have just 5 points + each. They truly are a no fuss meal and are a great healthy lunch idea for kids too! The fresh basil leaves and tomato give it a nice aesthetic appeal, and of course, add such amazing flavor. Each individual pizza is super high in fiber and low in fat. If you are a pizza-aholic, try this Personal Tomato Basil Pizza Recipe to keep yourself from speed dialing Papa John’s. :)

My husband made these for me and we used the orrowheat thins. I figure with a little less cheese, sauce, veggies and thins, this would be about 3+. The only thing we will do different next time is maybe tear the basil into smaller pieces and use some garlic salt. It needed just a little more flavor but REALLY good. Thank you!
Where do you buy those pita breads and about how big are they in size?
