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). 
Now here is where I recently changed the recipe. I found that the texture of the tortilla was not great when baked, so I tried a quick (I mean less than a half second) spray of canola oil on top. The difference was night and day! The flavor is wonderful with it! So once you are all topped and ready to go, give the pizza a quick spray and we can get baking! 
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.

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!)
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.
Here are some recipes that could work for you (the mushroom chicken was a favorite of a client with your dietary preferences)

This weekend when I get a bit of time I will create a tag for “healthier choices” and tag everything else on the page that may work for people with one dietary preference or another 🙂
Hope that helps! And I hope you love the pizza!! That Trader Joe’s Lite Mozzarella is really magical!
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!
Jan
So glad to hear you enjoyed it!! And can you be my neighbor? I would love someone to bring me a surprise lunch!
Yummy! We love pizza in this house! Love Trader Joe’s pizza dough too!
I love their dough too!
That looks delicious! Seems easy enough to make!
Pepperoni pizza is always a good idea and this lightened up version looks delicious!
This looks delicious! I’ll have to try some next time I’m at Trader Joes.
I hope you buy some of the mozzarella, you won’t be disappointed! I promise!
I love Trader Joes. I said i was gonna shop there more optionand I need to check out these pizzas!
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.
Yum. What a fantastic idea. I’ve made pizzas with english muffins and stuff like that but never tortillas. What a great idea, I bet they are crispy and so delicious!
Yes! I’m addicted to them!
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
wonder it received so much love. I think we all could use a light lunch recipe, especially if it’s pizza!
Yes! I love having this for lunch. If I make it for dinner, I usually make myself two, haha.
Mmmm I love pepperoni pizza! It’s my favorite kind 🙂 Gotta try this recipe!
This pizza looks so yummy! I can eat pizza just about every day.
This sounds like a really great way to enjoy pizza without all the grease and fat! And it looks delicious too!
Thanks Theresa!
This looks so yummy!!! And only 6 points I cant believe it! Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure!
I would have never have thought about using a tortilla for a pizza crust. That is really original…and quite tasty!
You’ve gotta get creative when you’re dieting and craving pizza! Haha.
I love the option of pizza, even when dieting. This sounds like a great recipe… especially since we always have tortillas in the house 🙂 YUMMY!
Awesome! I hope you try it and love it!
This looks really good adn for anyone trying to watch what they eat this would be perfect!!!
That’s a great idea to make a pizza with a tortilla. It looks really yummy too.
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.
Awesome! I hope she loves it!
I should definitely try this out for a personal meal! I love pizza and it would be great to start making a healthier version.
I promise you if you try that mozzarella it will replace any other shredded variety you normally buy, it is that good.
This looks so tasty. I always prefer a thin crust pizza, so this would be perfect for me!
What a brilliant idea for a pizza! I never would have thought of using a Tortilla! I love it! Looks delicious!
Thanks Amber!
That is an awesome idea. Looks tasty.
Yummo! That looks seriously delicious. I imagine that tortilla must make for a crispy crust!
Thanks Dawn!
Yum! I cannot believe I never thought to use a tortilla as a pizza rust. And at just 6 points? Yes please!
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.
