Helpful Hints
- Eat pita pizzas promptly after baking; otherwise they may become too crispy.
- Check the nutrition labels and buy the brand of feta cheese and pitas with the lowest amount of sodium.
- To keep sodium lower use Spicy BBQ Sauce from the recipe on DaVita.com. It has only 43 mg sodium per 2 tablespoons compared to 125-460 mg sodium in commercially prepared barbecue sauce.
