With it being the new year, I am sure many of you are missing some of the takeaway foods that you were enjoying over the festive season. We always make it one of our goal to eat home cooked meals as much as possible, to save ourselves money and calories. That doesn’t mean you have to give up pizza altogether. I know so many people are intimidated by homemade pizza – but it really is simple. It tastes amazing and if you have a few fussy eaters in your family, it is really easy to make small individual pizzas that they can have their own toppings on. Perfect!
It is my Dave’s (my husband) birthday tomorrow, but he is unwell so we are staying in all weekend, and I am going to spoil him. This weekend I am making him his favourite foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I don’t know many people that wouldn’t say that pizza is one of their favourite foods. Despite there being a few birthday indulgences, neither of us want to go overboard with the calories all weekend, so we are making things as healthy as they can be, without sacrificing on taste.
A great way to add a boost of healthiness and freshness to your pizza is to add spinach to it, which is how this Greek style pizza came about, as one of Dave’s favourite cheeses is feta.
Ingredients – Serves 4:
- 1 portion of homemade wholewheat pizza dough
- Marinara
- 2 handfuls of spinach
- 10 cherry/grape tomatoes
- 3 tbsp grated parmesan
- 100g/0.75 cup feta cheese
1) Make the pizza dough according to the instructions in the link above and roll your dough ball out until it is around 15″/37cm in diameter.
2) Put on a pizza stone, or just a baking tray/pizza dish and put in the oven at 220C/400F for 5 minutes, just so the dough can cook by itself for a little while
3) Take the dough out of the oven and add some marinara to it, then the spinach, halved cherry/grape tomatoes, parmesan and crumbled feta.
4) Crack some black pepper on top and put back in the oven for 20 minutes.
5) Serve with a large salad.

Spinach on a pizza? Great idea!!
My favourite ingredients are on this pizza. I can’t wait to try it – your dough seems really simple too. Thanks x
Oh pizza is my weakness, but 100 calorie a slice? Girl you are a genius. I wish I could hug you haha
You have the best idea! It is like a Greek salad on a pizza. I am going to make this (I have some of your pizza dough in the freezer) and add some red onion to it.
I am making this for dinner tonight. Can’t wait xx
Oh Dannii, I know I have said it before but you have the best recipes. I love your blog and Facebook page so much and I check it every day. You are helping me change my life so much. I agree with the above comment, you need a recipe book so I can add it to my collection.
We usually make our own pizzas, but just stick to cheese and tomato. This sounds really nice and something different to get the kids to try.
Not sure my husband would eat it though. I guess I can at least try.
This looks beautiful. Recipe book plllllllllllllllllleeeeeasse! I don’t know how you don’t have publishers snapping you up.
This pizza + a salad! It’s like eating two salads
)))))) YUM!
… that’s what my husband would say anyway (without the “YUM” part)
))))
I really thought I had to give up everything I loved to lose weight, but since following you and your journey I am beginning to realise that I don’t need to. I just need to make things myself more and eat them in moderation. You are wonderful!
Happy birthday to your husband and I hope he feels better soon. This pizza looks amazing and it might be just what I need to get my boyfriend to eat vegetables. Thanks!
