(Must be logged into WW on a smartphone or tablet.) 10 PointsPlus (Old plan) Try lightening up this English muffin pizza pie even further by using less pesto sauce. I opted for prepared pesto from Costco which has 5 WW Points per 2 tablespoon serving. For a lighter, lower calorie option, check out this simple low fat vegan pesto. If you are not a fan of pesto sauce, substitute your favorite pizza sauce or low sugar barbecue sauce. Instead of an english muffin substitute a low carb tortilla, flatbread or 2-ingredient dough for the crust. If you like your pizza really spicy, you can add a dash, or two, of red pepper sauce when spreading on the pesto.
