Ingredients for 21 Day Fix Pizza

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below, but here’s everything you’ll need!)

  • 1 whole wheat tortilla or flatbread (I love the ones with extra fiber, but any will work!)
  • 1/4 cup tomato sauce (look for no-sugar-added to keep it clean)
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (part-skim is my go-to, but full-fat will work too)
  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers (I use whatever color I have on hand, but red adds a nice sweetness)
  • 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms (baby bellas are my favorite, but white mushrooms work great too)
  • 1/4 cup chopped spinach (fresh is best, but frozen works if you squeeze out all the water first)
  • 1 tsp olive oil (just a light brush for that perfect crispiness)
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano (fresh is even better if you’ve got it!)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (or a minced garlic clove if you’re feeling fancy)
  • Pinch of salt and pepper (don’t skip this—it makes all the flavors pop!)

Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

No stress if you’re missing something—here’s how to swap it out:

  • Tortilla: Use gluten-free, almond flour, or even a cauliflower crust if you prefer.
  • Cheese: Dairy-free mozzarella works, or try feta for a tangy twist.
  • Veggies: Zucchini, onions, or even cherry tomatoes are awesome substitutes.
  • Sauce: Pesto or a light ranch dressing can be fun alternatives to tomato sauce.
  • Seasonings: Swap oregano for Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes for heat.

Equipment You’ll Need

Don’t worry, this recipe doesn’t call for anything fancy—just the basics you probably already have in your kitchen. Here’s what I grab every time I make this pizza:

  • Baking sheet (a regular sheet pan works perfectly)
  • Pastry brush (or just use your fingers to spread the oil if you’re lazy like me sometimes)
  • Sharp knife (for chopping those veggies—safety first!)
  • Cutting board (because nobody wants pepper dice all over the counter)
  • Measuring cups/spoons (eyeballing works too, but I like to stay precise for the 21 Day Fix counts)

That’s it! No pizza stone, no special gadgets. If you’ve got parchment paper, you can line the baking sheet for easier cleanup, but it’s totally optional. Now let’s get cooking!

How to Make 21 Day Fix Pizza

Alright, let’s get into the good stuff—making this pizza happen! It’s so easy you’ll have it memorized after the first try. I’ll walk you through every step, plus share my secret tricks for the crispiest crust and cheesiest toppings. Ready? Let’s go!

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Don’t skip this—starting with a hot oven is key for that perfect crispy crust!
  2. Brush the tortilla lightly with olive oil. I use a pastry brush, but your fingers work too—just don’t drown it! This little step makes ALL the difference for crunch.
  3. Place the oiled tortilla on a baking sheet. No need for parchment paper, but if you’re a clean-freak like me, go for it.
  4. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the tortilla. Leave about a half-inch border around the edges so it doesn’t get soggy. Pro tip: A spoon back works better than a knife here.
  5. Sprinkle on the mozzarella cheese. Cover the sauce completely but don’t pile it too high—this isn’t a deep-dish pizza, folks.
  6. Add your veggies! Scatter those colorful peppers, mushrooms, and spinach (or whatever you’re using) evenly so every bite has a little of everything.
  7. Season it up! A quick dusting of oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper takes it from “meh” to “MORE PLEASE.”
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the cheese is bubbly and the edges are golden brown. Watch closely after 10 minutes—nobody likes burnt pizza!
  9. Let it cool for a minute, then slice and devour. I use kitchen shears to cut mine into wedges—so much easier than a pizza cutter. Try not to burn your mouth on that molten cheese (I always do).

Tips for Perfect 21 Day Fix Pizza

  • Avoid the sog! If your tortilla feels damp, pop it in the oven for 2-3 minutes before adding toppings. Crispy base = happy life.
  • Veggie prep matters. Pat those mushrooms and spinach dry—extra moisture is the enemy of crunch.
  • Cheese distribution hack: Put a little cheese under the veggies too—it acts like glue so toppings don’t slide off.
  • Broil for the last minute if you want extra bubbly, slightly charred cheese (just don’t walk away—it burns fast!).
  • Make it a meal: Double the recipe and bake two at once—one for now, one for lunch tomorrow. They reheat like a dream.
  • No tortilla? No problem. Use a portobello mushroom cap or eggplant slice as the base for a veggie-packed twist.

Serving Suggestions

This pizza is seriously satisfying on its own, but if you want to turn it into a full meal, here’s how I love to serve it:

  • Simple side salad: Toss some mixed greens with balsamic vinegar and a sprinkle of nuts—so easy and fresh!
  • Extra veggies: Roasted broccoli or zucchini sticks add crunch without extra carbs.
  • Protein boost: Add a handful of grilled chicken or turkey pepperoni right on top before baking.
  • Soup duo: Pair with a small bowl of minestrone or tomato basil soup for cozy vibes.
  • 21 Day Fix-approved dip: A little Greek yogurt mixed with garlic powder makes a killer veggie dip.

Honestly? Sometimes I just fold the whole thing in half and eat it like a giant pizza taco—no judgment here!

Storage & Reheating

Okay, let’s talk leftovers—because let’s be real, sometimes (rarely!) there are leftovers with this pizza. Here’s how to keep it tasting fresh so you can enjoy it later:

  • Fridge storage: Wrap any uneaten slices tightly in foil or pop them in an airtight container. They’ll stay good for up to 2 days, but honestly, they’re best eaten within 24 hours.
  • Freezing? Not my fave. The tortilla can get soggy when thawed, but if you must, freeze individual slices on a tray first, then transfer to a bag. Reheat straight from frozen—no thawing! (Good for 1 month max.)
  • Reheating magic: To keep that crispiness, skip the microwave (sog alert!). Instead, throw slices in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-8 minutes, or crisp them up in an air fryer for 3-4 minutes. Perfection!
  • Cold pizza hack: I’ll admit, I sometimes eat it straight from the fridge—the cheese firms up, and it’s weirdly delicious. Don’t knock it till you try it!
  • Pro tip: If your crust gets soft, reheat it on a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side. Crispy revival!

Honestly though? This pizza is so quick to make fresh that I usually just whip up another when the craving hits. But hey, life happens—now you know how to save the day (and the pizza)!

Nutritional Information

Alright, let’s break down the numbers—because let’s be honest, knowing what’s going into your body is half the battle with the 21 Day Fix! Here’s the scoop on one serving of this pizza (but remember, exact numbers might vary slightly based on your exact ingredients and toppings).

  • Serving Size: 1 pizza (yep, the whole delicious thing!)
  • Calories: Around 350 (but who’s counting when it’s this good for you?)
  • Protein: 15g (thanks, cheese and whole grains!)
  • Carbohydrates: 45g (with 6g fiber to keep you full)
  • Sugar: 5g (mostly from those sweet bell peppers and tomato sauce)
  • Fat: 12g (6g unsaturated—hello, olive oil goodness!)
  • Saturated Fat: 5g (go easy if you’re using full-fat cheese)
  • Sodium: 400mg (not bad for pizza, right?)
  • Cholesterol: 25mg (pretty light for a cheesy treat!)

Quick disclaimer: These numbers are estimates based on the ingredients I typically use. If you swap in different tortillas, cheeses, or load up on extra toppings (no judgment!), your counts might change slightly. For exact 21 Day Fix container equivalents, check your program materials—but trust me, this pizza fits like a dream in the plan. Now go enjoy every guilt-free bite!

FAQs About 21 Day Fix Pizza

Can I make this gluten-free?
Absolutely! Just swap the whole wheat tortilla for a gluten-free version—I’ve used almond flour tortillas and even cauliflower crusts with great success. Just keep an eye on baking time since some gluten-free options cook faster.

Is this pizza freezer-friendly?
Honestly? It’s best fresh, but if you must freeze it, I recommend baking it first, then freezing individual slices. Reheat straight from frozen in the oven or air fryer to bring back some crispiness. (Though I’d rather make a fresh one—it’s that quick!)

Can I use dairy-free cheese?
Yes! I’ve tested it with almond-based mozzarella, and it works well—just know it won’t melt quite as gooey. If you’re not strictly dairy-free, I sometimes mix half regular cheese with half dairy-free for the best texture.

Why does my crust get soggy?
Two likely culprits: too much sauce or wet veggies. Blot your mushrooms and spinach dry, and go light on the sauce (stick to that 1/4 cup!). Pro tip: Pre-bake the naked tortilla for 2-3 minutes before adding toppings for extra crisp armor.

How do I count this in my 21 Day Fix containers?
Check your specific plan, but here’s how I track it: 1 yellow (tortilla), 1 blue (cheese), 1 green (veggies), and 1 tsp (olive oil). The tomato sauce usually falls under „free” foods unless you’re using a ton. Easy peasy!
