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.

Hi! This sounds and looks AWESOME and I can’t wait to try it! One question, though; what size tortilla do you use? The large wheat tortilla that has 6 net carbs or the original size which has 3 net carbs?
Thank you!
I use the large size one with 6 net carbs – it’s about 8 inches across.
I just had to write you back again and say thank you! The recipes you sent are EXACTLY what I had hoped for. I just read all of them and think I will just use those and nothing else for the next month. They are perfect for paleo/low carb/weight watchers/south beach etc. Every meat dish looks divine and the salads look amazing. I can almost taste them and know they must be delicious! Thanks again! This is my new favorite blog!
You just made my day! I am so glad I hit the nail on the head for you! And please don’t hesitate to come back and let me know how things are going! I am going to tag the recipes for you to grab them easier too.
Sabrina, thank you for your sweet response and for all the links to the healthy recipes on your site. I had the pizza tonight and it was fabulous. My husband loved it too! Thank you again!
My pleasure! I am so glad you enjoyed the pizza and I was more than happy to help! I know the blog can seem a bit over the top with the recipes, but there are some great healthier hidden gems in there too!
This pizza looks amazing! I am going to try it tonight! I am searching your blog but can’t find any more recipes that are semi low-carb/ kind of paleo. That’s about how strict with my eating! I really like your recipes! Everything looks so good! If it wouldn’t be too much trouble, would you please let me know which recipes fit into my eating lifestyle or where I can find them on your blog? Thank you so much!!
Thanks so much for the comment and for visiting the blog! I would hightly recommend the Busy Baker Blog, Chrissie Baker has some awesome healthier recipes. This site tends to err on the side of sweets and carbs and all the things my clients were obsessed with. I definitely will have more of a variety in the future, but at the moment it is a bit hit or miss.

Hi Sabrina
Thank you so much for this delicious, quick and easy recipe. I used different brands of the low fat mozzarella and turkey pepperoni but they turned out so good! I had one last eve and just surprised 2 of my apartment neighbours with a little lunch…they loved it too. I love these kinds of healthier recipes…very quick and very tasty!

YUMMY! I made some of these just the other day. I am finding that a lot of pizza crusts make my stomach hurt something fierce. I’ve also been trying to watch my sugars and carbs so I found some high fiber tortillas with olive oil and omega’s in them. They make great pizza crusts.
Awesome!!
So great that it is only 6 points. It looks so delicious.

This is a great dinner idea for one! I love the use of the tortilla to cut down on the carbs
Yes! And you wont miss it since the tortilla gets so crisp, the taste is great!
Tortilla pizza has to be one of my favorite ways to have pizza. I LOVE when it gets really crispy. It’s almost like a pizza chip it’s so crispy!
It is! To me it tastes like Dominos thin crust, which is my favorite delivery pizza, cracker crispy!
I really love thin crust pizza. It seems like all the favors mesh better. super yummy
MMm, this looks amazing! I love this pizza. It’s one of the many reasons I love Trader Joe’s.
Me too. When we moved one of the first things I googled was Trader Joe’s!
Mm that does sound like a great lunch. No

Yes! I love having this for lunch. If I make it for dinner, I usually make myself two, haha.

This looks like a great weekday lunch solution that is fresh yet fast, exactly what I need on the days I have a heavy workload. Plus you can never disappoint me with anything pizza!
I know right? I mean I’m a sucker for pizza and for pepperoni in general, so when it came out of the oven crisp and melted, I swear it just couldn’t go wrong!
This would be a great quick and easy lunch to make. I never thought to make a pizza with a tortilla before!
This pizza looks yummy. I have a friend who is doing WW I will share this with her.

Yum! I’m watching my weight so this is a recipe that I would be interested in trying. I’d add a little broccoli to my pizza too!
I hope you love it Stacie! Broccoli sounds like a delicious topping!
Pizza is so beloved in our house. We couldn’t do without it, so this is a great way to do it healthfully.
same here!
I’m not much of a dieter, Sabrina, but your photos make this pizza totally inspiring! Nice to be reminded that it’s possible to be decadent and healthy at the same time 🙂
Thanks Jill! Most of my recipes are not really WW friendly, but I try and make the ones that are interesting enough to post unlike my normal turkey sandwich on 45 calorie bread. Most days I am a creature of habit for breakfast and lunch because I just get so insanely busy.
This sure looks delicious and easy to make. Will be adding to our menu rotation soon.
On a tortilla? Love it, the ultimate thin crust.
mmmm that looks so good! Easy to make! Even for kids!
Oh yes, my oldest loves that the slices are kid sized, haha.
What an awesome way to make pizza. I just did a pizza recipe on my blog too for allergy-friendly families. No eggs, dairy, gluten, wheat, or tomatoes!
Oh my goodness! I used to cook for clients who had severe food allergies so I understand all the energy that goes into making delicious food with strict restrictions! Good for you!
These are awesome! Reminds me of my family’s recipe of using English muffins as the pizza “crust.” Such a nice change from traditional pizza.
Oooh I remember those!
This is going to make an awesome dinner this week! I bought some wheat wraps that I was not sure what I should make with them. Thanks for the idea!
My pleasure Amy!
Seriously! I am going to make our’s veggie because I do not have any pepperoni on hand. I cant wait to taste the crisp!
I wish I didn’t love turkey pepperoni so much, haha. Even when I add veggies I have to add the pepperoni!
The turkey pepperoni is very good..
That looks so tasty. I’ll be that tortilla crust is super crunchy.
Yes!
I love the idea of pizza on a tortilla. The pizza crust is always too dough-y and heavy for me.
Me too! Even when we order delivery, I always order thin crust 🙂
We love thin crust pizza in our house so this recipe definitely looks like something we’d love to try! I love that this can also double as a waistline friendly lunch!
Me too!
This is such a great take on pizza. I love using a tortilla for the crust!
That looks absolutely delicious! I am supposed to be watching what I eat so the next time I crave pizza I will be serving this!
Awesome Pam, I hope you love it!
I have never done a points system for weight loss, but I would love to understand it all to help better get nutrition. This looks good!
Thanks Jeanette!
The weight watchers system works! I’ve lost 35lbs between January 1st and today March 24th. I use the old weight watchers method because I know it works. I lost all 73 lbs that I gained with my first child within 6 months using the old system. That’s without regular exercise. You should definitely give it a try.
Congrats!
Hi Gina. Can I ask what you mean by the old weight watchers method? Thank you.
