Pizza lovers: No need to give up pizza on your diet. Pile on veggies, go light on cheese — and find a ready-to-go crust that’s low-cal.

To help you, we rounded up full-size crusts and figured out the calories in 1/4 of a pie shell, whereas the labels give calories per 2 oz serving — anywhere from one little sliver to several slices. For small crusts, we compared calories in an entire pie shell.
