260 Calories per Pizza

OH MY GOODNESS this was BY FAR the best thing I've made. It was absolutely delish AND filling AND fast- you couldn't ask for more. The hubs and I joke that we have "company meals" that we make when we have people over for dinner- this has topped the list (so if you're coming over to dinner soon, this is what you'll have haha).
