Sabrina’s Tip

If you want to make this pizza vegetarian, substitute the pepperoni for veggies. Add quick cooking veggies like bell peppers, spinach, or onions. They can go on raw and will cook perfectly in the regular cooking time. For mushrooms, they will cook best if they are sliced thin so they don’t release too much moisture and make the tortilla soggy.

About this Recipe

The tortilla bakes up thin and crunchy, almost like a flatbread, giving you that perfect crisp edge while still holding all the melty, gooey cheese and savory toppings. Because it uses a tortilla instead of traditional dough, it’s lighter and portion friendly, while still feeling indulgent and satisfying. If you need pizza sauce, try my Easy Marinara Sauce. The whole family will love pizza night! It’s also a great recipe for kids to help with, turning mealtime into something fun, creative, and stress free.

How to Store

  • Store: Place the slices in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap, then store in the refrigerator for up to 2–3 days. If you’re stacking slices, put a piece of parchment paper between them to keep them from sticking.
  • Reheat: For reheating, skip the microwave if you can, it softens the tortilla. Instead, warm it in the oven, toaster oven, or air fryer at about 350°F for a few minutes to bring back that crispy texture.
  • Freeze: Freezing isn’t ideal since the tortilla can get a bit chewy when thawed, but it’s possible if you wrap it well and reheat straight from frozen in the oven.

  1. Do yourself a favor and lose the canola oil. Try an avocado oil spray instead. Why, you say? Google canola oil and see what you get about how horrible an oil it is. You can also get a crispier “crust” by putting the tortilla in the oven first until crispy, then add sauce and toppings. Yummy!

  2. I just ran across this recipe but have been cooking the same thing for awhile now. I preheat a heavy cast iron pizza pan at 550* and cook the pizza for three minutes and it come out perfect with the cheese melted and the crust nice and crispy. No need to spritz with cooking spray. Being diabetic it’s really nice to be able to eat pizza again. For a nice variation sometimes I use homemade enchilada sauce instead of the marinara and pepperjack cheese instead of mozzarella.

  3. 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!

  4. 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.

  5. 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!

    1. 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!

  6. 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!

  7. 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.

    1. 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.

        1. 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.

  8. 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!

  9. 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.

    1. 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!

  10. 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!!!

  11. 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!

    1. So glad you enjoyed it, Mary! It’s one of my favorite quick and easy WW recipes and I just had to share it!

  12. 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.

    1. That sounds delicious! If you haven’t already, you should check out my new site cookingwithpoints.com to find more recipes like this. 🙂

  13. I’ve been on WW old points for 7 weeks. Lost 15 so far. Was hankering for Pizza so bad. Found your recipe made it but added a little pineapple to mine. Man I ate the whole thing it was so good.my tortilla was 1 point. Only 5 WW points.

  14. I will definitely try the cheese! I like to prebrown my tortilla just a little before adding the toppings, then add toppings, then put back into oven to finish cooking. This makes it less flimsy and adds more crunch in the end without having to use the oil.

  15. You’re a life saver! I got into a horrible lunch rut, AND I’m craving pizza seriously bad! Usually pizza falls under that “junk food” list and I just write it off as a thing I don’t want to eat. I work hard to take off the few pounds I have lost, and I really don’t want them back LOL. So eating the same things every day…. ugh. I’m a person who likes a big variety. I get bored easily. So you can imagine my excitement to see this recipe! I even have everything on hand except the tortillas. I have some regular whole wheat tortillas, and they are a few more points, but I have the points to use, so it all works out! I’ve seen the tortillas you used at Walmart, so I’m going to pick some up next shopping trip. Thanks for a new lunch and a pizza for my craving!
