But my all time favorite is good ol' pepperoni and cheese. This is, in fact, a complete contradiction to who I think I am as a person when it comes to food... or at least who I believe to be: I refuse corn because of Monsanto's genetically modified infestation of the crop, I don't eat meat unless I am 100% sure it lived a good life, was raised on grass and without chemicals, and I haven't eaten at a fast food joint in...oh...I don't know? Years?
So, this led me to search for a healthier version of pizza (yes, I do often make my own from scratch at home, but I'm looking for a SERIOUSLY, GLOBALLY, & ENVIRONMENTALLY HEALTHY pizza).
Instead, I found these:
Yes, it's a freakin' bacon-cheeseburger pizza. Next!
OMG, are you serious? ANOTHER burger-turned pizza?
Deep-Fried Pizza. Because a slice of Domino's pepperoni pizza doesn't already contain 14 grams of fat and 340 calories (although that's debatable: clicky)...
You guessed it, macaroni and cheese pizza.
Grilled pepperoni and cheese pizza sandwich. This one might just be dinner tonight, you know, with whole wheat organic bread and soymilk cheese and vegetarian pepperoni...of course...(psh - yah right!)
Chicago-style pizza. :O !ROAD TRIP!
Ginormous, humongous, gargantuan, mega-pizza. Wonder how many calories are in a slice of that thing (it does look like it needs more cheese, though, don't you think?)...
A Yoda pizza, it is.
I just don't know if I could traditionally just slice through these pies. I would have to take a pair of scissors and make a cut-out of the characters (Hello Kitty is my favorite, but it looks like she's loaded with WAY too many onions). Which one would you choose?
This waffled-pizza-pocket idea seems appealing as well. Definitely trying this one. Waffles are one of my other all time favorite foods, and...I mean, c'mon, you get to DIP it!
Does this look fake, or just a day-old hardened cheese slice with fresh uncooked veggies on top? Either way, FAIL.
Japanese Pizza. I wonder what those toppings are! I'd really like to try them all! And the white drizzle over some of them - is that more cheese?!
Breakfast Pizza. Oh, yes, every meal can be made into a pizza, especially if you can turn a burger into one!
The next three are the MOST appealing to me (I like to think of myself as a foodie, but then again, I am also a completely contradictory person...anyway, ONWARD - to the gourmet pizzas!
Apricot-prosciutto pizza. *droooooooool*
Artisan Margherita *swoon* !
When heartburn threatens, white pizza is always a wise choice (sans tomatoes).
Okay, now, I did find some healthier styles of pizza, although, there is a fear of the resulting "undesirable-ness" of them, so you're all invited over for a pizza party in which I'll attempt these next few and, if they ALL suck, we can just pitch in and order out. Cool?
This cheese-less pizza just seems to be lacking the whole concept of pizza. Can we at least put a sprinkling of fresh shredded Parmesan on it? Please?
Okay, this one looks to have globs of fresh mozzarella, atop of fresh basil leaves, red peppers, and, oh, mushrooms! AND PESTO! OMNOMNOM. So what makes it healthy? The crust: It's made of chick pea flour!
This one looks pretty delish, too, but again - it's the crust: Cauliflower!
And this little number could be a gluten-free dieter's dream. There is no crust! It's just slices of zucchini with traditional sauce and cheese on top! I'm pretty sure this one is fail-proof.
I just threw this in there because it's calorie-free. Wouldn't it be great though, if, when you stuck it into your USB port, it gave off the smell of pizza baking in the oven?
(I compiled these images over time, and was in too much of a hunger fit to jot down the sources for them. If they belong to you, send me a comment and I'll give you due credit or remove them upon your request)
Happy craving!
