Pepperoni Pizza baked on a whole wheat tortilla with melty mozzarella and pepperoni, this pizza is satisfying!
I put recipes up here for you all on a daily basis, most of which are pretty decadent or just “chef-worthy” in general. Truth is I’ve actually been watching what I eat since I had my youngest less than a year ago.
I’ve had days where I make a recipe I absolutely love, take 4 bites of it and each a plate of steamed vegetables because I only have so many “points” left after a stressful afternoon of binge eating pretzel sticks while making sure both kids are alive and well (I don’t know why but our youngest is completely enamored with chewing on plugged in power cords).
So when I posted this Weight Watchers Pepperoni Pizza on Instagram, I was just sharing my lunch and it became a hit on my Facebook page. I tend not to share recipes that are dependant on a specific brand (this is not a sponsored post, btw), but in this case I think it is available over most of the country, so hopefully it won’t frustrate too many of you.
The recipe is easy and quick enough. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees, take one La Tortilla Factory Wheat Tortilla, top it with 3 tablespoons of your favorite pasta sauce (I use Trader Joe’s marinara) and 2 ounces of Trader Joe’s Lite Shredded Mozzarella.
If I can stop the directions for a second to discuss the cheese. This mozzarella is worth writing poetry about. It browns amazingly, when you pull out a slice of lasagna the mozzarella strings go on forever and it tastes as good if not better than any other normal Mozzarella I’ve bought. I kid you not, right now in my fridge I have three of them. We ALWAYS have them, even if no one is “dieting,” it is our go to. This cheese is the secret sauce that makes this Weight Watchers Pepperoni Pizza so amazing. Don’t substitute for another brand of light mozzarella and then get disappointed it isn’t amazing. Go out and get this if it is within a reasonable driving distance for you! And the nutritional stats on it are a DREAM to a person watching their calories!! 
But I digress, where were we… 
Oh yes, tortilla, pasta sauce, mozzarella and now I use 8 slices of turkey pepperoni (I’ve looked at the labels and every turkey pepperoni I’ve seen is the same points for 8 slices) and top with some dried oregano and crushed red peppers (optional). 
Bake the pizza on a sheet pan for 5-7 minutes. Watch your oven, by 7 minutes you should be all bubbly and browned. Let the pizza rest for 2-3 minutes when it comes out because that cheese is going to be like lava.
I usually slice it into four wedges and eat it before my toddler discovers I made pizza. But if you want to feel like you are eating a delivery pizza, slice it into smaller triangles for bite sized slices.

Let sit for 2-3 minutes before eating.
Save an extra point and use sliced veggies instead of pepperoni! Or make my second favorite pizza Pear, Walnut & Gorgonzola from Eating Well. It is what I make when I want to feel good about what I am eating when I am really craving a Fig & Pig Pizza from Tin Roof Bistro (Google it!)
Great idea and recipe Sabrina! I did pre-bake the tortillas for a few minutes before applying the toppings to ensure a crispy crust as per one of your supplemental comments. Worked great. Thanks for this, you rock!
Thanks for the 5 stars, Andy! Glad you enjoyed it.
Just started Weight Watchers last week and have been having some crazy cravings. This is delicious! I highly suggest using the 1/2 second spray of cooking spray that the recipe mentions.
So glad you enjoyed them, Brittany.
Can you make them and freeze them?
I wouldn’t recommend, I’m not sure the tortilla would hold up being frozen and then defrosted.
I do a similar thing but I heat some olive oil in a pan, lay down my tortilla then create the pizza. Crisps the tortilla very well. If need be I use a cover for a minute or so to melt the cheese, but I find it melts well enough as I am building on a warm tortilla!
Sounds like a great method!
Sorry, my tracker says this is 200 calories for the whole pizza? I don’t care. This with a salad…great!
This is so good but how do you keep your tortilla from getting soggy?
The two things I do to keep it from being soggy are make sure I’m using the whole wheat tortillas and the quick spritz of canola spray right before cooking. You can also pre-bake the tortilla before adding the toppings or cook on an oven safe cooling rake on top of the cookie sheet. Hopefully these options will help you get a crispier crust!
I make these too and put thin slices of red pepper and red onion on it but I partially bake the tortilla before I put ingredients on it to finish baking!
Do you place directly on the oven rack or on a pan?
On a sheet pan. 🙂 Enjoy!
This was delicious! Will definitely be my go to pizza
How did you calculate the nutritional values though i.e. it is showing 46 calories however the La Tortillas Low Carb Whole Wheat tortilla on its own is 45 calories. I’ve just recently started tracking nutritional values and want to make sure I’m doing so correctly.
So glad you enjoyed it!
I actually use a program that once I add in all the ingredients, it calculates it for me. I’ll have to double check it, thanks.
Would you mind sharing the program you use to calculate?
It’s actually a plug in to the website that calculates it and not a separate program. I’m sure there are many online that you can use to help calculate when not attached to a website.
I am on WW and I made this pizza last night and it was absolutely delish!!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Could I please have the calories in this please, not doing WW but watching what I eat.
Thanks
I edited the recipe card to show the nutritional information. 🙂
Oh my goodness! I was hesitant about using any tortilla for crust, let alone low-carb? This has to be one of the best pizza’s I’ve ever had. Dare I say…better than delivery? Definitely a lot healthier!! Thank you for the great recipe and tips!
You’re so welcome, Sarah! Such an easy switch to still enjoy the taste but stay on track.
Made this pizza tonight, was really good. Definitely satisfied that pizza craving. But I was wondering if there might be a way to make the crust a little crispier.
So glad you enjoyed it! If you’d like it a bit crispier, allow it to sit directly on the oven rack for just a bit (watch it so it doesn’t burn). Hope this helps!
DELICIOUS!! I just made these with Ole low carb high fiber tortillas. I sprayed the canola oil on the tortillas first and put them in at 425 for a couple minutes. Once I took them out, I spread with some garlic herb butter and then built the pizza. Back in for 6-8 minutes and PERFECT!!!
While I was looking at this recipe, I wanted to read the reviews, It sounded really good. However, I don’t think I read any actual “review”. Most of the comments were about what it looked like or sounded yummy. I was super excited to make it! I went to Trader Joes and couldn’t find the lite Mozz, but they did have a lite blend and a fat free Feta, so I got both of those. Went home and made it for myself, since I am working on the WW Points. My boyfriend insisted that he have what I was having cuz it looked so amazing! I had to share so that cut my points in half 😉 I made it as a veggie pizza with mushrooms, onions, peppers and tomatoes. It was AMAZING! I can’t wait to make it again. The only thing I need to work out is the center of the tortilla was not crispy as I would like. Even as a snack this recipe is awesome. I highly recommend it and it only takes minutes to make! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
So glad you enjoyed it, Mary! It’s one of my favorite quick and easy WW recipes and I just had to share it!
This recipe is delicious! I use Kroger pizza sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, mushrooms, and very thin sliced salami and Mission whole wheat tortillas with only 4 carbs. It is so good.
Thanks for dropping by to let me know! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
