Before you can add pizza toppings to your pizza, you need a base. The best is pizza crust made from fresh dough. You can make your own using flour, yeast, olive oil, and a little water. Or, if you’re lucky, you can buy a ball of refrigerated dough at your grocery store. Many chains — including Wegman’s, Fresh and Easy, and Trader Joe’s — sell it.
Roll the dough out with a rolling pin, or stretch it to the desired thickness. If you feel inspired, you can prepare it the traditional way – by tossing it in the air. The toss-and-turn method takes a little practice, but it results in a thin, even pie.

Although pizza has a reputation as being high calorie and high fat, it can actually be pretty healthy. With meat, dairy, and grain, all you have to do is add vegetables or fruit for a nutritionally balanced meal.
Traditional veggie pizza toppings include mushrooms, red and green peppers, and onions. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg — lettuce, that is. There are dozens of vegetables that make great pizza toppings. And fruits too.
