Inflation hits NYC pizza shops, slice now costs more than subway ride

Mona Lisa Pizzeria owner Lenny Giordano opens up on his business struggles on 'Fox & Friends.'

You don't have to cheat on your diet to enjoy some pizza. 

Even better that that, this recipe can be made at home in less than an hour.

"I wanted to make a nut-free and anti-inflammatory version of my favorite pizza, a Thai chicken pizza," said Liana Werner Gray of TheEarthDiet.com.

She added that instead of peanuts, she used SunButter, a one-ingredient spread made of roasted sunflower seeds.

Even if you’re not allergic to peanuts, you might like the swap of this sunflower seed butter for peanut butter: "It is delicious and incredibly satisfying."

Gray keeps the recipe gluten-free with a gluten-free pizza crust and Bragg Liquid Aminos (a gluten-free alternative to soy sauce).

Feel free, though, to use regular pizza crust and/or soy sauce if you don’t have dietary restrictions. 

Still, to keep things nutritious, you may want to stick as close to the original recipe as possible.

"There are a lot of superfood ingredients in this recipe like the apple cider vinegar, amino acids and turmeric. It may seem complex, but I promise it’s worth it and besides, to make the homemade sauce all you do is add the ingredients into a pot together and stir," says Gray. 

This healthy take on pizza will be a crowd favorite. (Liana Werner-Gray) (Liana Werner-Gray)
