traditional fast food pizza doesn't fit too well in a low carb/keto friendly way of eating.
I had found this reduced carb pita bread option, and I had a low carb marinara on hand so decided
why not.. looks like a personal size of a pizza to me and I decided to give it a try.
Basically I put down some parchment paper on a cookie sheet, 2 pieces of pita bread,
spooned on some marinara, and topped it with whatever toppings I wanted.
I used some cooked ground beef and cheese.
Then I baked it in the oven at 350 degree's until the cheese was melted and heated through,
roughly 10-15 minutes give or take.
It was actually good!
I have tried it with different toppings as well and so far have liked them all.
Now of course it doesn't taste like fast food pizza, but my husband and I
like them so it is a winner in my book.
They are fairly low carb depending on the toppings of course.
I added a picture of the labels so you could check them out,
such as: 1 pita has 9 carbs (or 5 net carbs if you are counting net carbs.)
the sauce has 4 for 1/2 cup of marinara so you can certainly use less sauce to stay within your
carb goals if you are counting carbs by chance.
I thought it was a pretty good substitute when craving pizza.
Plus the fact that it took less than 5 minutes to throw together isn't too bad either. 😉
I found these items in my local grocery store,
and the marinara was cheaper in my store, but I saw that it is also available online
