There are plenty of ways to enjoy a healthier pizza just by modifying the ingredients in your base.
Some recipes avoid gluten and grains altogether by utilising vegetables, nuts and gluten-free grains. These pizzas tend to need to be eaten using a knife and fork as they lack the gluten required to hold everything together.
