A slice of health heaven Before you dial out for pizza, consider this: A pepperoni slice (about 6 ounces) has 500 calories and 20 grams of fat, whereas two slices of this polenta-crust pie (also 6 ounces) have only 194 calories and one third the fat. One reason: The polenta (cornmeal) crust has less fat than a made-with-oil flour crust. Even better, it's a quick-make pie.
