12 Times That Pizza Was Actually Healthy

In my personal life, I have a theory: If you don't like pizza, I don't trust you. (I also don't trust anyone who doesn't like animals which is a whole different story). But who doesn't like pizza, right? Some scientists, who you'd think would have better things to worry about, have even attempted to explain our love for pizza and in the process they discovered we could be actually addicted to the stuff! On one hand that is insane to think about... and on the other hand, it totally makes sense.

So for the times when pizza-cravings hit but you don't want to totally break the bank nutritionally speaking, here are 12 pizza recipes to feed your addiction in the healthiest of ways.
