Living in Italy definitely doesn’t help my pizza cravings but fortunately you can significantly cut down the calories while following flexible dieting style by making your own healthy lower calorie version pizza. There is a very popular style of pizza called piada pizza in Italy. It basically cuts down the pizza crust calorie by using a healthy tortilla. This is more of a true Italian inspired pizza where we are quite moderate with the toppings, sauce, and cheese.
