1. Preheat the oven to 450 F. Spray large baking sheet with nonstick spray.
2. Spray large skillet with nonstick spray and set over medium-high heat. Add bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer bacon to plate lined with paper towels.
3. Add garlic to skillet; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until golden, about 1 minute. Add spinach to skillet few handfuls at a time, stirring constantly and adding more spinach as it will fit. Continue cooking until spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes more. Stir in reserved bacon.

Note: This recipe appears in the WW Tastier than Takeout Cookbook. This is a different take on a traditional pizza. It has three different kinds of cheeses, bacon and spinach. It's a nice comfort food without feeling any guilt that you get when you order takeout pizza. I do highly recommend adding Italian herbs such as basil, oregano, and parsley and maybe add some chopped tomato for a more filling and flavorful pizza. This pizza will be even better when you make your homemade pizza dough from scratch.
