Ingredients

1 Aladdin’s 100% whole wheat pita (110 Calories)

1/4 cup shredded fat free mozzarella cheese (45 Calories)

1/4 Cup Prego Traditional Italian Marinara Sauce (80 calories)

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Take pita and place on baking sheet. Spread marinara sauce and sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top. Place in oven for five minutes or until cheese is melted. Even if you eat the whole pita pizza, it will still be more than one hundred calories less than a single small piece of pizza from most chain pizza places.
