Pizza Zoodles

Jun 18, 2018 1 Comment

Pizza zoodles are a pizza-inspired meal much lighter than the traditional flour crust. Filled with lots of veggies and a few store-bought shortcuts, this is one dinner the whole family will love.

If your kids are anything like mine, then pizza could be on the menu 6 out of 7 nights of the week and all tummies would go to bed satisfied. And since Ted and I both have pizza as some part of our love language, we wouldn’t complain either! But alas, the traditional homemade pizza night in this house has been designated for Friday night. So when that pizza craving hits, I’m usually looking for a lighter way for Ted and me to enjoy, like these pizza zoodles!

Yes, the kids still have the “bread” version of pizza. I’m pretty sure I would’ve gotten 3 cross-eyed looks if gave them pizza zoodles. And yes, Ted and I had a few bites of their pizza flatbreads once they left the table. But these pizza zoodles really hit the spot AND had all the flavor of our favorite pizza dinner. And my main mission was accomplished: I didn’t walk away feeling too stuffed or like I immediately needed to go to bed!

You can, of course, make pizza zoodles with your favorite pizza toppings. I kept ours meaty [go figure] with pepperoni and mushrooms. Next time I think I’ll add some green bell pepper and black olives too! Pizza zoodles are my first zoodles recipe here on the blog, and I’m hoping to share more zoodles recipes as I’ve found more spiralized noodle options at Kroger [specific brand is Veggie Noodle Co.]. Zoodles are my current go-to, but stay tuned as I plan on getting more creative with the beet and sweet potato zoodles too!
