Dinner Last Night! Yummy!

This was so yummy! I think next time I might leave off the Ricotta Cheese. It really seemed to have no flavor anyways. BTW, I used fresh garlic! It is also a great way to get in some of your 2 teaspoons of healthy oil! Oh and mine does not look white because I used a mixed low fat pizza cheese.
White Pizza
~
1 (13.8-oz) tube of refrigerated Pillsbury classic pizza crust (found by crescent rolls/premade cookie dough) *
1 Tb olive oil
garlic powder or minced fresh garlic (to taste)
1/2 cup fat-free ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (Or you can use a five-cheese blend like the one from Kraft which includes low-moisture, part-skim mozzarella, provolone, Romano, asiaso, and Parmesan cheese)
* Alternately, you can use 1 box Pillsbury Hot Roll Mix, 1 package of refrigerated pizza dough, or any other ready-made pizza crust. These are all roughly the same points value, but please note that my Nutritional Info below is based on the refrigerated 13.8-oz tube Pillsbury pizza crust.

Lorie, I was thinking the toppings might be good on top of a whole wheat pita bread of course I would have to adjust it and refigure the points. The WW pita would be healthier than the tube of refrigerated Pillsbury classic pizza crust. I'm going to give it a try, I thought I the kids could make their own pizza on the pitz bread.
