Hold the pepperoni (yes, we said it)! Prosciutto is much leaner and provides the same meaty satisfaction without the added grease. This whole-wheat pizza also trades mozzarella for goat cheese, so you still get creamy goodness but with 11 percent fewer calories. Pear and arugula give the pie a flavor punch — and some serious health benefits, including iron, phytonutrients, and vitamins A, C and K.
