Crave by Cooking Light magazine

I saw this at Sam's and took one look at the cover and said "it's mine"!  They take pizzas, burgers, sandwiches, sides and sweets and give them the low fat treatment.  I was looking thru the burger section and most are 300-420 calories per portion.  At the end of each section, they give ideas for making the burger or pizza etc even lower in fat.  I'm going to share with you their selections for 200 calorie pizza slices.  They recommend using one of the following for the crust:

Naan,  lavash, pre-made pizza crust, flat bread, pita, English muffin, or a wrap such as a flour tortilla.  If using pre-made pasta dough, bake it on a baking sheet at 425 degrees for 15 minutes or until the crust is golden, and then cut into 8 wedges.  Always add fresh herbs after baking.
