Fun fact: I like pizza. A lot. It’s been a constant in my life and I can honestly say I never get tired of it (especially a NY slice…or those pizzas you get at Costco).
I like pizza any time of the year – but sometimes, too much of a good thing like pizza can make you, well, a little on the fluffy side. So here’s a recipe for those moments when you want pizza, but don’t want to screw up your macros for the day beyond all repair.

No Bull Meal Planner for $9.99 – it’s the first and last meal planner you’ll ever need and it comes packed with recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and a solid formula I’ve been using for years now to hit my goals without having to obsessively focus on macros.

Let’s get started.
Grill Memoirs: Grilled Pizza in 4 Steps.
This is a much less bready pizza but it’s quick to make and will satisfy that pizza craving that slowly starts to kick in because let’s be honest – on cheat day (and I use this term loosely, because it’s all about things in moderation which means you’re really not cheating at all) it’s easy to eat a whole pie and then some.
4 Step Grilled Pizza Recipe
Makes: 2 small people servings or as I like to call it – 1 serving.
Prep Time: 5 minutes.
Cook time: 8 minutes.
Total Time: 13 minutes.
Items Needed:
- A large chopping board
- A grill or grill pan
Ingredients:
- 1 Multi-grain or Wheat Tortilla
- 1/2 cup Tomato and Basil Pasta Sauce
- 1/4 cup Feta Cheese
- 1 oz. (28 g) Mozzarella Cheese
- 10 leaves Basil or Spinach leaves
- Optional: Drizzle some extra virgin olive oil once it’s baked (this’ll alter the below mentioned macros)
- Optional: Add any other toppings you think you might want
Directions:
- Preheat your grill or grill pan until it’s really, really hot (this’ll vary according to which one you’re using).
- Toss a tortilla on the chopping board and spread your pasta sauce evenly over it leaving a little room out the outer diameter to leave a crust.
- Top with your crumbled feta and shredded mozzarella cheese, adding the basil or spinach leaves last.
- Transfer it to your grill for 5-8 minutes until the cheese is nice and melted.
…and that’s it – you end up with a flatbread pizza.
It balances the protein and carbs out to be pretty even, with the whole wheat/multi-grain tortilla having a nice low GL (if you’ve read either of my nutrition guides, you’ll remember why this is beneficial).
Here’s the macros:
Total: 16 g Protein, 14 g Carbs (of which 8 g is Fiber), 12 g Fat
Per serving: 8 g Protein, 7 g Carbs (of which 4 g is Fiber), 6 g Fat
This recipe is pretty balanced and perfect as a snack or small meal for when you’re craving a nice, greasy slice of pie but know it’d be better to put a healthier spin on it.
That’s all, folks.
