Recipe: Healthy Homemade Pepperoni Pizza

This healthy homemade pepperoni pizza is low in fat & calories and high in protein. It also only contains four ingredients which makes it extremely fast & simple to prepare. The crust ends up crispy and the pepperonis and cheese melt in your mouth. Try this healthy pepperoni pizza recipe along with our Clif Builder Hot Fudge Sundae made with high protein ice cream and you'll feel like you ditched out on your diet - it's that good! This is a healthy alternative to the Red Baron single pepperoni pizza (see below for comparison).
