Good; however, I've got to have melty cheese on pizza. I used slices of tomato in place of the tomato sauce to cut fat, so I could add the cheese.

Yummo. I scaled this down to serve one, and used a flat-out bread as the crust. I used low-fat parmesan to reduce the fat even a bit further. Very good. Thanks!
