Lean Cuisine Deluxe Pizza
By: Tanya Taylor, PhD | Feb 20, 2006
The Lean Cuisine Deluxe pizza has a thin crust and after you microwave it, the bottom portion is very crispy, but the top part still tastes a bit doughy to me. There was plenty of toppings including sausage, pepperoni, roasted peppers, onions and mushrooms, which really gave some substance to this 6 inch pizza, but the taste was just average - not bad - not great - but okay! South Beach used whole wheat flour in their pizza, but Lean Cuisine uses bleached, enriched flour - come on LC - don't let the competition get the best of you by using better ingredients! There are 370 calories in one pizza, 9 grams of fat (14% of daily recommendations), 3.5 grams saturated fat, 590 mg sodium (25% of daily recommendations), 3 grams of fiber, 7 grams of sugars and 17 grams of protein. In addition, there's a bit of calcium, iron, vitamin C and A. I've said it before and I'll say it again - pizza is not the healthiest option in the world - but it sure does taste good! Lean Cuisine Deluxe Pizza costs $3.00. If you have to have pizza - then this is not a bad way to go, assuming your other meals are healthy too. Taste:

My mom got me started on healthy, quick, and cheap mini pizza's that use fat free whole wheat english muffis as crust, with a little sauce, banana peppers, olives, and reduced fat cheese. Bake in oven for best results. She's on weight watchers and figured they were 1 point each... I don't count points, but they are pretty good!!
