Topping Ideas: Try pepperoni, shredded chicken, ground beef, mushrooms, onions, bacon, pineapple, plum tomatoes, olives, or spinach.
Flour: If you don’t have self-rising flour, make your own with 1 1/2 cups AP flour, 2 ¼ tsp baking powder, and ½ tsp salt.
Pizza Sauce: Many store-bought pizza sauces are low-point. Using homemade sauce is even better!
Individual Pizzas: Divide the dough into 4 sections for individual pizzas. Each would be 6 points. You can also turn them into calzones.
Cheese: If you don’t like cheddar, use 6 oz of mozzarella instead.
Tips and Tricks for Making Weight Watchers Pizza

High Temperature: Bake at high heat to achieve a crispy crust, especially since it’s a Greek yogurt dough. Lower temperatures can result in a soft crust.
Avoid Freezing: Due to the Greek yogurt, freezing the pizza is not recommended.
Storage: Store leftover pizza in an airtight container or a resealable bag. Reheat in the air fryer or oven for the best texture, as the microwave can make the cheese rubbery.
Browning the Cheese: For a browned top, broil the pizza for a few seconds. Watch closely to prevent burning.
