A fast, low-carb pizza at last! My hair dresser informed that a popular pizza chain put out their version of a low carb pizza that had 30 carbs a slice. It made me wonder how many carbs regular pizza has. Too many. That's why I've tried various low carb flour and pizza sauces in an effort to create a low carb pizza. Some of my efforts had been successful, others not so. The one things they all had in common was time, at least an hour of it, and expense. A pizza usually ran me around twelve dollars per pizza.
This brings me to Atkins personal pizza, which is 11 carbs and currently $2.50 on sale at most groceries, especially Wal-mart. It comes in four different flavors including vegetarian, three-meat, cheese, and pepperoni. My recent stop at Krogers had the cashier asking if I was the woman who buys out their Atkins pizza stock every time it comes in. Well, I wasn't that woman, but I might be now since I know it exists.
One of the complaints about eating low carb is meals require pre-planning and time. Not so, with this pizza. I did put two pizzas in the oven on the high rack at 400 for ten minutes to cook two at once. They also cook perfectly well in the microwave on their crisper plate.
