170-Calorie Pizza: What's The Point?

Would you mistake this pizza for being 170-calories a slice?

We realize that people want to be healthy. We also realize that"organic"and"healthy"ingredients like vegetables and whole grains do really taste good, and when combined with cheese could make for an excellent pizza. And yet, there is something about a 170-calorie slice that is making us uncomfortable. Especially whenthe Post describesit as"skinny jeans friendly."

Revd Up Pi(can 2011 be the year we stop randomly dropping vowels from words?) in Murray Hill is now boasting that they have the lowest-calorie pizza in the city, made with low-fat mozzarella, a 16-grain crust and lots of local tomatoes. Owner Alex Melamedov of Bensonhurst said,"It's as revolutionary as it gets, but it's still authentic. It still tastes really, really good."AndYelp generally agrees, though criticisms include"cardboard-y"crust and"not enough sauce/cheese."We're not sure if we're ready to give up boatloads of cheese in the name of health, but let's take a moment to appreciate the American ingenuity that now lets us eat pizza on a diet. Adios, sacrifice!
