Sicilian Pizza, Whole Wheat Crust (1/2 Pizza = 450 calories, 18 g fat)
This is a hand tossed, hardwood fired pizza dressed with black olives, capers, pine nuts, roasted garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella, tomato sauce and fresh basil for a flavorful mix of healthy fats from the nuts and lycopene from the tomatoes. Our dietitians recommend splitting this pizza with a friend.

Rosemary seasoned chicken is topped with richly flavored roasted red pepper and sharp provolone and served on soft ciabatta bread for a simply delicious serving of lean protein.
