We’re on a mission to convince the world that healthy pizza recipes do exist—and can be totally delicious. There’s no skimping on dough, sauce, fresh veggies, or cheese for these healthy pizza recipe ideas.

These healthy homemade pizzas are selected with an eye on calories, protein, fiber, and sodium so you can feel A-OK about going back for a second slice.
Thin Crust Pepperoni and Vegetable Pizza
Calling all fans of ultra-thin crust! For 250 calories, you can enjoy not just a slice, but a full half of one of these veggie-brimmed healthy pizzas. A golden, whole grain tortilla acts as the base for crunchy bell peppers and fresh mushrooms. Use turkey pepperoni instead of pork or beef to trim a few calories and fat grams.
Ground Chicken Pizza Crust
This high-protein, keto-friendly twist on pizza uses ground chicken in the place of a traditional crust for a thin-crust experience without all the carbs. It’s packed with Italian herbs, Parmesan, and nearly 30 grams of protein per slice. Top it simply with sauce and mozzarella or customize with your favorite toppings. Either way, it’s a meat-lovers dream!
Cottage Cheese Pizza Toatss
Grant Webster
These quick and easy pizza-inspired toasts start with thick-cut sourdough, toasted and topped with marinara or pesto. Creamy cottage cheese adds protein and richness, and toppings like pepperoni, basil, or hot honey give you the ability to create a variety of flavors with minimal prep. Whether you go classic or creative, this five-minute meal is perfect for a satisfying lunch on busy days.
Tlayuda (Mexican Pizza)
Start with a flour tortilla as the crust for this Mexican-style healthy pizza idea and each pie cooks up in a mere 4 minutes. The crust is great, but the sauce might be the real star here—it’s inspired by a classic Mexican mole and made with pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, barbecue sauce, cinnamon, a blend of hot and warm spices, plus some bittersweet chocolate. (Trust us, it’s sensational!) A thick schmear of that quick mole pairs beautifully with the toppings, including black beans, Oaxaca cheese, crunchy cabbage, roma tomatoes, and fresh, buttery avocado slices.
Pizza Primavera
This appetizer-perfect pizza features a kaleidoscope of veggies on crisp flatbread, including tender asparagus and fresh bell peppers, both rich in antioxidants. Best of all? Since it’s built on an already-baked flatbread, this heart-healthy pizza can be ready to slice and share in just 35 minutes.
