Here's the skinny on SKINNYPIZZA in Addison Circle

You can't eat pizza every day and stay skinny - right? Not true at SKINNYPIZZA, which recently opened in Addison Circle, promising all-natural ingredients and lower calorie counts for pizza fanatics and health-conscious patrons alike.

They invited me in to sample their menu, so I popped in for lunch to try a pizza, pasta, and salad. I go into every healthy situation a skeptic, so I was pleasantly surprised when I actually really liked what I tasted here.

SKINNYPIZZA spent years developing their recipe to obtain the taste that real pizza lovers can get on board with. What they've created is a NY style thin and crispy crust that has a firm crunch and pairs well with just about any topping you choose. You can feel good about choosing to eat at SKINNYPIZZA because of their dedication to avoiding preservatives and additives in their crust. Not only that, but their pizza sauce is 100% organic, cheeses are all natural, and the toppings are all antibiotic-free and hormone-free.

The pizza I ordered was one on the higher end of the calorie spectrum of their pies (1080 for the whole pie), but the taste of the Skinny Italian was worth every last one. It's topped with hormone-free sausage and ground beef, peppers, olives, nitrite-free pepperoni, part-skim mozzarella, mushrooms, plus their organic tomato sauce. Other pizzas had as little as 600 calories for the whole personal sized pizza. That's something even those working hard for their beach body can indulge in. Choose from original skinny (highly recommend), whole wheat, or gluten free crust for your pie.

Gluten free customers can also have GF spaghetti at SP. Non-GF eaters can choose from several types of noodles and pair it with their favorite sauce. I opted for the penne with Alfredo and broccoli and it didn't disappoint. My favorite things about pizza and pasta (besides, DUH, it's pizza and pasta) is that they make for awesome leftovers.

The Gorgonzola Salad is exactly the type of salad I love. Tossed in a pleasant balsamic vinaigrette and filled with bits of creamy Gorgonzola, you could easily make a meal out of their large portion salads.

To wash it down, they offer a variety of beer and wine, plus specialty sodas and bottled lemonade. There's a large patio out front that's a great spot for people-watching while you chow down on your guilt-free pizza.
