    For you people who think you can’t enjoy chicken ranch pizza because you need to watch those calories think again.  It is easy to make low calorie single serving chicken ranch pizza that tastes as good as the full calorie version. Instead of a pizza crust try using a portabella mushroom cap for crust.  Then make your own low fat dressing using yogurt and low fat mayo and low fat buttermilk, then simply use the rest of the ingredients that the original recipe calls for.  By reducing most of calories contained in the pizza crust and using a lower calorie ranch dressing you can cut out about half the calories contained in the original recipe.
