In my last desperate attempt to achieve a summer beach bod I scapegoated my flabby ab woes to my affinity for ‘za. I was one (never ending) week in when I came across this recipe. If you’re like me and simply can’t go on a cold-turkey pizza cleanse then this recipe is for you. With virtually no carbs these pepper pizzas will satisfy that itch only pizza can scratch while also getting in a healthy dose of your daily veggies. Bon Appétit!
