Love this recipe. My family also loved this, even my pickier eaters who usually do not like whole-wheat anything. I also used the Classico tomato basil sauce but used a 13 oz organic whole wheat thin crust (Rustic Crust brand). This crust is very dense and very filling. Two slices was plenty.

Pepperoni pizza is a classic favorite, and in less than 20 minutes, you can make this light and healthy version. The whole wheat crust has more fiber and nutrients than a white flour crust, and using part-skim mozzarella saves on calories without compromising any flavor.
