How to Eat Pizza While on a Food Plan
One way to kill your weight loss progress is falling back into old habits, like ordering up a nice gooey pizza. Back when I was Long Island Fatz, pizza was one of my weaknesses. In fact, I could do a whole pie by myself, which used to give me a kind of perverse pleasure. (No pie can defeat me!) Never being able to eat pizza can be very discouraging. So I had to get creative and get still my fix, but in a healthy way. Portion control is the key here. You don't want to order out, if you can help it, because the usual commercial pies are really not healthy and there is no such thing as a small pizza (at least not by delivery). Here's the recipe for a veggie pizza that I came up with. Skinny Veggie...
What are the Most Popular Pizza Toppings in the US?
My problem with pizza is that sometimes I get stuck looking at the topping choices for a long time and can't decide what to get. My favorite Babylon pizza restaurant in New York has way too many appetizing alternatives. Plus, I usually have too many friends and family members adding their two cents. The more people I have over, the more difficult it becomes in the selection of all those delicious toppings. Sometimes I'm sorry I even brought up the idea of pizza. With all that deciding, have you ever thought to yourself, "I wonder what other people are picking out as their favorite pizza toppings"? You probably have several of your own front-runners. How do your favorite toppings compare with...
If you are being squeezed out of your own market by those big pizza chains, it's time you took matters into your own hands in order to beat them at their own game. The only thing those big guys have on you at the moment, is better advertising, and you can easily win that battle. Fight back with direct mail!

Observe Their Promotions - Beat Them at Their Own Game One of the ways those pizza conglomerates stay so competitive is...

The Best Pizza Places to Visit in New York City
When it comes to Pizza, New York City takes the crown. Sorry Italy, sorry Chicago, its no contest. There are an endless number of pizza places to try in New York and new restaurants and gimmicks (pizza in a cone?) are popping up all the time. Some of the new restaurants are my favorite, and some old standing are still the best. Motorino, with two locations (one in the East Village and one in Williamsburg) serves a delicious authentic Neapolitan style pizza pie. The dough is cooked to perfection, on the fluffier side, and the mozzarella cheese is incredibly fresh. My favorite pie from here has to be the Brussels sprouts with pancetta.

Chicago Style Pizza Dough
Actually, I am the last person who should write about pizza. It's not that I don't have specialized knowledge, passion or experience. I have made pizza, thin and thick, by hand and by machine. I have taught pizza making classes. I've owned and operated a pizza delivery business. The reason that I shouldn't write about pizza is because I've never found a pizza that I didn't love. My life is a pizza version of "If you can't be with the one you love, love the one your with." I love the thin pizza of Vito and Nick's. I love the thick pizza at UNO and DUE. I love Lou Malnati's, Marie's, Lucky Vito's, and Giordano's. I love the greasy Connie's pizza. I love Home Run Inn frozen pizza. I love frozen Jack's...
Make A Healthy Vegetable Pizza
p>We all know the importance of having a healthy diet. But having such a diet means that you have to sacrifice some of the good food, right? Wrong! In fact, it is possible to create a great tasting, healthy pizza to meet your healthy diet needs. Pizza gets a bad rap among the health conscious crowd. But in its basic form there is nothing inherently unhealthy about pizza. Flour, water, salt, and yeast are the basics to create a great tasting, low fat crust, and a simple sauce can be easily made using fresh tomatoes, garlic, spices, and fresh herbs. Piling mounds of high fat proteins such as sausage and pepperoni on top of the pizza will not make a healthy meal...but piling them on top of lettuce is...

A Guide to Making Your Own Pizza Crust
ou intimidated by making homemade pizza? If so, you are not alone. Many people think that pizza is a dish that must be bought from a restaurant to be really good. Fortunately, they are mistaken. Pizza is not only easy to make, but you can make it the way you want it. You are not restricted to what is on the menu. The crust of the pizza is usually the part that makes most people hesitate.

Meat Toppings For Your Pizza
One of the most popular pizza toppings, pepperoni, packs a lot of flavor in a convenient, inexpensive package. It's zesty, spicy, and satisfying but not too good for your diet. Which is true of another all-time favorite, Italian sausage. Both are high in fat and sodium.

A simple switch to reduced-fat pepperoni and chicken or turkey Italian sausage can cut hundreds of calories from your pizza. And give your heart a break too.

Bread Machine Pizza: A Win-Win Situation
I will always remember the day I bought my bread machine. I was at a garage sale and found it marked at $30. After examining it, I insisted on plugging it in to make it work. Once the light sensors came on, I had no idea what to do next. So I paid for it. I took it home and made five loaves of bread. Four of them fell. I read everything I could find on the Internet about bread machines and made sure to diligently manage the measurements. I finally decreased the falling of my loaves to about two in five - but somehow, those two always fell when I had no other bread in the house and was counting on the loaf to feed us our lunch. Finally, like I suspect so many women do, I left it on the counter as a...

Chicago Pizza is a Whole New Experience
If you live in or near Chicago, then you are probably aware that there is nothing like a Chicago pizza. You cannot just call any pizza a Chicago pizza because it is made in a special way.

Pizza Stones
When making pizza, the taste will actually depend on the cooking process. In fact, for you to make a spicy and delicious one, the way you bake it will greatly determine the taste. Some ovens do not give the familiar and traditional taste and thus if you want this taste, then you need to always bake on the pizza stone. Unlike when using the pan, the terra cotta tiles of the stone maintain the base layer crisp and you'll never have a soggy layer. This stone is available in different prices and must be accompanied by a paddle that is used for transferring the dish from hot stone. This enables the pizza to bake from both sides and comes out well crunchy. Paddles with long handles are mostly used and...

A Close Look at Wood Fired Pizza Ovens
Wood fired pizza ovens are commonly known as Forno, in Italian, or simply just wood ovens. These ovens are usually built as outdoor pizza ovens and make use of wood fuel when it comes to cooking. When looking at pizza ovens, there are actually two types. These are white ovens and black ovens. The difference between these two ovens is that the one uses wood and the other uses a bi-product fuel, gas. In order to heat up a black oven you need to insert wood in the chamber. Food is then cooked in the same chamber next to where the fire is simmering. It can be done this way or when the oven is nice and hot, the embers can be removed or scraped aside and the food can be inserted to cook. In order to heat...
Choosing the Right Gas Pizza Oven For the Perfect Pizza
Not all home pizza ovens are created equal. Some are just for general purpose baking and cooking. While others are specifically designed to bake a number of pizzas with quality in mind. The Wrong Tool If you've been using your ordinary kitchen oven in baking pizza, you undoubtedly experienced problems regarding consistency in quality. There were times when the pizza came out 'just right,' but most of the time they're either burned, over-cooked, under-cooked, unevenly-cooked or soggy in texture. Then there's the issue with taste that deteriorated because of poor baking equipment. You probably also tried using different trays, adding pizza stones, placing bricks or putting lava rocks just to bake the...

Each pizza is lovingly constructed by hand, and that takes time. So the quicker you...
Grilled Pizza is a Great Idea For Outdoor Entertaining
Warmer weather reminds me of having pool parties and cooking outside. One meal that guests really appreciate is grilled pizzas. I think there are a couple of reasons for this. First, they taste really good! Second, your guests can personalize them to their own taste. For the host, this is a great make ahead idea. Here's what I like to do. I make the dough ahead of time - usually the day before. If you put the dough in a large zipper bag in the refrigerator, it will rise overnight just fine. Then, you can just punch it down and roll out individual pizza rounds. I'll include a recipe at the end for pizza dough. I will typically roll out the dough into about eight-inch rounds and grill them lightly- at...
Napolitano Pizza Crust Dough - Recipe
Becoming a Pizzailo Once you try this dough, I suspect you will never go back. It is a classic Napolitano pizza dough learned from a pizzailo (pizza chef) from Napoli (Naples, Italy). You will get about 12 to 14 pizza dough balls from the ingredients which will make that many 11 inch pizzas. There are several secrets to the Napolitano dough that should be remembered. Never use anything but 00 flour (I suggest Caputo 00 flour which can be purchased in the US and is imported from Napoli). I know it is difficult, but don't even think about using a rolling pin or bread-dough machine. You will be tempted when you break into a sweat, but stick with your hands and fists. It will make a huge difference. And...

The Secrets to a Crispy Pizza Crust
p>The local pizza shop down the street from your house has a couple advantages when it comes to making their pizza's nice and crispy. But, with a couple of changes to your kitchen tools and techniques you can make a great tasting, homemade crispy crust pizza for your friends and family also.

Pizza Marketing
Pizza Marketing I was driving down the road today and was in awe of how many pizza restaurants there are in my area of Las Vegas. So many of them are around but do not advertise enough for people to realize they are there. As I drove down the street for only about five minutes I noticed twenty five pizza restaurants. These pizzerias are not the regular ones you hear about all the time but the mom and pop shops that just make really good pizza. How are people supposed to find these places? I think these pizzerias rely on word of mouth the make their business grow. I have noticed since I have lived in Las Vegas that once I try a place that sells pizza, I will start to tell all my friends about it...

This idea isn't for every pizza shop owner, but should you decide to give it a try, here are some tips to keep in mind.o Keep the old favorites. You...
Pizza - Good For Your Prostate
Amazing as it may sound, studies have shown that tomato sauce can help prevent prostate cancer due to the concentrated levels of lycopene found in it. Fresh tomatoes are all well and good, but once they have been cooked into a sauce, you eliminate a lot of the water and concentrate all that goodness in one spot. What does this mean for you? Dig in to that spaghetti, lasagna, and pizza. These studies show that men who eat a lot of tomato sauce can lower their risk of prostate cancer by as much as 20%. In fact, men who ate tomato sauce once a week seemed to have the best protection. Lycopene, the important cancer fighting nutrient in tomatoes, dissolves in fat. The oils involved take the lycopene to...

10 Tips to Improve Your Pizza Flyers
1. Does it say Pizza? Even though your pizza menu design may be brilliant, a work of art and completely in tune to your target audience, it's useless if it doesn't "scream out" PIZZA DEALS to your customer. Your flyer design needs to tell customers what you are all about (Pizza) without even trying.
