Slim Down Your Pizza Slice!
    How to handle the real deal . . .

Order it cheese-less (if you dare!).

Choose thin crust instead of thick and you'll save countless calories per slice!

Blot your pizza before chomping into it and you'll eliminate dozens of calories and plenty of fat.

Opt for veggie toppings instead of meats (and no, friedeggplant doesn't count!).
