Everyone always wants to eat pizza but due to it's nutritional values we tend to stay away, here's a recipe i found and it looks to be alot healthier than regular pizza haven't tried it yet so i can't say for taste.
I got this recipe off of www.fatfree.com, when I make it, I use more oatmeal and less wholewheat flour, but that is my preference. You can top it with whatever you want to fit your nutritional needs, but I use fat free mozaerla cheese, tomoato sauce, and extra lean beef. I bake it on pizza stone for 10-14 minutes at 375 degrees.
Oatmeal Pizza Dough
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/4 cups bread flour or unbleached flour
2 tablespoons bread flour or unbleached flour
1/3 cup quick-cooking oats or oat bran
1 1/2 teaspoons Rapid Rise Yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup skim milk or water plus
2 tablespoons skim milk or water
1. Place 3/4 cup of the flour and all of the oats or oat bran, yeast,
sugar, and salt in a large bowl, and stir to mix well. Place the milk or
water in a small saucepan, and heat until very warm (125 to 130 degrees F).
Add the milk to the flour mixture, and stir for 1 minute. Stir in enough
of the remaining flour 2 tablespoons at a time, to form a soft dough.
2. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the remaining flour over a flat surface and
turn the dough onto the surface. Knead the dough for 5 minutes, gradually
adding just enough of the remaining flour to form a smooth satiny ball.
(Be careful not to make the dough too stiff, or it will be hard to roll out.)
3. Coat a large bowl with nonstick cooking spray, and place the ball of
dough in the bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise
in a warm place for about 35 minutes, or until doubled in size.
4. When the dough has risen, punch it down, shape it into a ball, and turn
it onto a lightly floured surface. The dough in now ready for shaping,
topping, and baking.

Justin - the lowcarb tortillas make a good pizza crust. here is a 'pizza' recipe i have tried and liked:
Healthy Mexican Pizza
2 low-carb tortillas
1/2c refried black beans
1/2c cottage cheese
2/3soy crumbles or lean beef, crumbled, cooked
1 oz soy mozarella, or reg mozarella, shredded.
pre-toast the tortillas in the broiler to crisp them (careful, they burn!)
mix the beans and cottage cheese together, then divide evenly on the tortillas, spread as close as you can to the edge - it will keep the edges from burning (personal experience:angry:)
top each with 1/3c soy crumbles and sprinkle with the shredded cheese.
Broil until warm and cheese is melted. Top with salsa if desired.
This recipe is in my food posting, and I just wrote it from memory, but i think it is right.
I have also made mt daughter pizza on the low-carb tortillas, she likes them a lot, I spread them with a little ragu sauce and use the soy crumbles, but she likes real cheese.
If you wanted to boost your protein conyent in your recipe, you could probably add some ON whey - any whey, unflavored protein powder to it, it is made for cooking with. Or you could substitute some soy flour for some of the other types of flour, it is higher in protein...just a thought.

Here is a new pzza crust recipe - looks similar to the first one justin posted.
Healthier Pizza Dough (from the Moosewood restaurant low-fat favorites)
1 tbsp baking yeast
1 tsp sugar
1c very warm water
1/2c rolled oats (place in blender or food processor and whirl until they are like a coarse flour consistency)
1/2c whole wheat bread flour
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 - 2 cupunbleacheded white flour
Combine yeast with sugar and water in a large mixing bowl and set aside until it proofs (bubbles and foams, indicating that it is ALIVE!), about 5 minutes.
When the yeast mixture is dissolved and frothy, add the oats, the ww flour, oil, salt and enough of the white flour to make a stiff dough. turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic, adding remaining flour as needed (keep your hands floury!).
Lightly oil the large bowl, place the dough in it, turning once to evenly oil, and cover it with a warm, damp cloth (I put mine in the oven with no heat, just the oven light on) and allow to rise for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size. While the dough is rising, prepare desired toppings.
When the dough has doubled in size, preheat the oven to 450, remove dough from bowl to lightly floured surface and knead about 1 minute. Prepare a 12-inch pizza pan, or cookie sheets, with cooking spray or olive oil. using your hands, or a rolling pin, spread the dough into a circle on the pan (I made three individual pizzas, so that we could each have our own topping preferences). using your fingers and thumbs, pinch the dough around the egdes up into a rim.Very lightly spray or oil the crust and set it aside to rise for 10 minutes.
Add toppings and bake until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.
Having a healthier version of pizza felt very good and in-balance. I am striving not to get too strict and obsessed with my diet (yet).
