The only food I’m totally obsessed with even more than pancakes is pizza. I could literally eat pizza daily, and I needed to find a lighter version so I wasn’t blowing all of my points plus on one slice of pepperoni pizza from a take out place! Thus, the Pesto Flatbread Pizza was born.
Ingredients:
- 1 Flatout Light Italian Wrap
- 1 tablespoon pesto spread (I use Buitoni)
- 1/3 cup pizza blend cheese
- any veggies your heart desires — I’m a mushroom gal!
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F.
Spread pesto over entire surface of flatbread.
Arrange veggies on your pizza, and top with cheese.
Bake for 10 minutes,
and follow up with the broiler at 525F for 2-3 minutes to make it niiiice and browned and bubbly!

Wow that looks amazing! I have had those wraps before but never thought to make a pizza. On my grocery list!
Crunchy Frugalista says
I wonder if Sam’s club sells the flat outs so we can stock up!
Julie says
This looks amazing! I can see this with some red pepper and red onions along with the mushrooms. With meals like this (where I am piling on loads of veggies that aren’t really part of a “recipe”), I usually calculate the Points+ by excluding the zero Points+ veggies in the calculations. That way I can load it up with no guilt.
By the way I highly recommend checking out Freckleberry Finds (see her note above). It’s a great site and Ashley has a very motivating story – great recipes :).
Crunchy Frugalista says
Ashley does have a great site :). She’s who inspired me to join Weight Watchers again, and why I asked her to guest post on here. I agree with you on the veggies. I love being able to pile up my favorite ones and eat guilt free! So nice to “meet” you Julie!
Kim says
This looks amazing–I love pizza too (and pesto!) so I definitely need to try this!!
Crunchy Frugalista says
Doesn’t it look so good! Definitely going to be a staple in my meal plan!
Rachael says
I made this tonight for dinner. I used 1/4 cup of cheese and Racconto Traditional Basil Pesto and got the pizza down to 6 points plus! It was really good and I was so excited to be able to eat the whole thing. It kind of felt like I was cheating on my diet =)
Crunchy Frugalista says
That is awesome Rachael! Anytime I am craving pizza I make this. It is filling and really yummy! I add a little extra cheese because I am a cheese kinda girl!

That pizza does look delicious! I love that it is appropriate for those of us watching our weight! 🙂

If anyone has a superstore near them or Loblaws etc. In the organic section they have frozen flatbread pizza crust made out of flaxseed.
Crunchy Frugalista says
I have never heard of that store, but that sounds awesome! I could use frozen flatbread.
Elena says
Looks delicious! I love pizza
Raymond says

This pesto flatbread is really tasty no matter if you are trying to eat healthier or not. Hope you love it as much as I do.
Stephanie says
i am in love with your pizza recipe! I just started my own version of points plus three days ago. I need to lose around 45-50 pounds. To know you’ve accomplished this in six months is truly inspiring!
