Keto Pizza
Keto Pizza – no soggy crust here! Most fathead dough is limp and flavorless. Not this pizza crust! A great low-carb dinner.
KETO PIZZA
My husband has been doing Keto for over a year now religiously. He has tried all of the fathead dough recipes out there and they have all left us wanting. They were limp and soggy. So soft that there’s no way you could pick it up. It could only be eaten with a fork.
Finally, he came up with this Keto crust that has cheese in the crust and gets crispy. As crispy as you want it to. The longer you cook it the crispier it gets. Top it with your favorite toppings!
We basically have this recipe memorized because we make it so much.
The size and shape of your pizza is up to you. My husband prefers a thin, really crispy crust. I prefer a moderately thicker crust and a little less crispy.
KETO PIZZA CRUST INGREDIENTS:

- Melted Butter
- Almond Flour
- Salt

Keto Pizza
Keto Pizza - no soggy crust here! Most fathead doughs are limp and flavorless. Not this pizza crust!
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons cottage cheese (sour cream can be substituted)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon pink Himalayan or sea salt
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or any other shredded cheese)
- low-carb pizza sauce (like Roa's), shredded cheese, pepperoni, sausage, veggies
Instructions
-
Preheat oven or air fryer to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, and butter. Set aside.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, garlic powder, and salt. Add dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir to combine. Mixture will be wet. Stir in the cheddar cheese.
-
Roll dough between two parchment paper sheets to desired size, thickness, and shape. The dough will be very wet. You will need to peel the top parchment sheet off and bake it on the bottom sheet of parchment on a baking sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until desired level of crispiness. The longer you bake it the crispier it gets!
-
Remove from oven and load your pizza however you like with all of your favorite sauces, cheese, and toppings. Bake pizza for another 5-8 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
Can you freeze the cooked dough and use it later?
I’m new to keto so this was the the 1st pizza I have made. It was DELICIOUS 🤤 I know your not ment to eat the whole thing but I did!!! Fasting tomorrow 😂 Thank you for the recipe x
It’s hard to not eat the whole thing!
I’m curious how many servings this makes?
It makes four servings.
My boyfriend and I tried this recipe and it tasted so good! Love love loved it
Thank you!
I rarely comment on recipes online, but this was absolutely delicious. My husband has tried many keto pizza crust recipes, and we both think this tasted almost as good (if not better) than supermarket frozen pizza dough. It doesn’t have a weird “keto” sub taste like many doughs we’ve tried. Thank you!! The other recipe I tried was the cinnamon pork rinds and oh my god amazing and so quick and simple!!! Can’t wait to o try other recipes from here!
Thank yoU! I’m so happy you like it!
Crust was easy to make and tasted good. Didn’t find it crisper than fathead dough, but then I haven’t had a crisp problem with fathead dough either. I was able to pick up a square slice and eat with my hands—did not need knife and fork. I added a bit of oregano in the dough and when it was baking, it smelled divine. 🙂
My sister made this for us (my husband is diabetic) and it is amazing!! She combined Italian sausage, diced up salami and pepperoni. I’m not normally a “meat pizza” person but it is awesome. We even sliced and froze it to take on a trip in the RV. We thawed it and “toasted” the crust in a pan. It was wonderful! Quite a treat for my husband.
Wow I love the all meat version!!
This recipe turned out very well! I didnt have almond flour so i used coconut flour and it still worked i just only had to add half the amount. I think qith coconut flour a little bit of oil would be good as it was slightly dry. The taste obviously didnt taste like a normal pizza but it still tasted really good!
I don’t know who to give Kudos to, But this was delicious, a nice change from fathead dough. I backed up so nicely that I just cut it in squares and put Parmesan cheese on it. Yum. I took a picture but I don’t see anywhere to post it. Anyway, nice job.
I’m so glad you love it!
How many pieces count as a serving? I cut mine into 8 pieces, so figured 2 pieces would be one…
The recipe makes 4 servings so yes, if you cut it into 8, two pieces would be one serving.
My husband was diagnosed several years ago with a gluten allery. So when I found this receipe for a low carb and gluten free pizza crust I just had to try… Well this is to die for!!! WE LOVE IT!!! Thank you for the recipe and I can’t wait to try your other recipes!
sorry for the misspell…*allergy
Oh that makes me so happy!
I added 1TBL sour cream, 1 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tbl oregano. Came out really fantastic. Once baked I moved it off the parchment onto a wire pizza pan. Topped it and baked 10 mins at 400.
So glad you liked it!
GREAT TASTING PIZZA. My husband couldn’t believe it was low carb.
I know right?
Do try this pizza. Our teenager ckeaned the plate. Thank you. 🙂
Great!
Your crust is good for my BBQ chicken and jalapeno pizza! Thanks!
Thank you!
Thanks for this recipe! Looking forward to trying this one! 🙂
Hope you do!
Thank you so much! My husband’s blood sugar numbers have sky-rocketed so I have decided to try Keto. This was delicious!
I wish him success!
Just made it. Very easy wooden spoon single bowl stir. Filled entire cookie sheet. Large serving size. Great to finally have a pizza crust in hand with great crunch. First bake I baked it on bottom rack over 19 minutes then, added toppings and baked another 10. It was grrrrreat!! Thank you !
Yay! So happy to hear that.
I’m trying to find alternative (healthier) recipes for for my son and one of the foods I would like to make for him is pizza but he is allergic to nuts and I can’t use almond flour. Do you know if whole wheat flour would work? It would obviously add on carbs but I think it will still be a better option than the traditional recipe.
Thanks
You can swap Oat Flour or Cassava Flour with basically a 1:1 ratio to almond flour in recipes. Whole-Wheat flour is an option too but you wouldn’t be able to use it alone because of it’s density. For example if a recipe called for 2 cups almond flour and you wanted to swap it, you would have to use 1/2 whole-wheat and 1/2 all purpose flour in order for the recipe to come out right.
Whole wheat flour would not be Keto anymore but may work?
This was AWESOME!!!! The best keto pizza we’ve ever had! We used cheddar cheese in the crust and topped it with Rao’s margherita pizza sauce, ground mild Italian sausage, green pepper and mozzarella. Absolute perfection, thank you! Can’t wait to try your other recipes!!
Awesome Valerie!
You have cracked the code! This is the penultimate keto pizza crust!
hahaha Thank you!
I made this recipe today and it was (allow me some slang) slammin’. Let me rephrase that…I made it twice — back to back. It was hard to roll the dough using only 1 cup of flour (it still came out great), so I decided to make this pizza again literally right after, except using 1 3/4 cups of flour (that’s 7/4 cups of flour — it seems hard to read mixed fractions on this platform). The first one I made was rectangular like in the photo and the 2nd one was circular.
To be fair, I don’t make/cook things that require me to roll dough. Either way — both came out great and it was easy to put together. I recommend using the brand called Rao’s as a low carb option for sauce. They are low carb and there are a ton of options to choose from. Wish I could post pics. Shotout to Christy!
Thank you!
What type of pepperoni are those?
The Hormel mini pepperonis
How many servings should come from this pizza? Btw I already made it once and it was fantastic!!
Makes 4 servings.
This is the best pizza I’ve had for keto!!! I made it long and rectangular like the photo and I cut it into 4 and then I cut the 4 into 2 and ate the two as a serving, hopefully that was the correct portion size but man did I wanna eat it all!
This was wonderful. I see that it has 4.5 carbs per serving but how many servings are there. I think I can cut 8 helping and not over eat but it’s so good I’d love it to be divided into 6. With a salad I can live with 8. Thanks
There are 4 servings.
I’m soooo excited to make all your recipes. I need this eating plan desperately. THANK YOU
You’re welcome!
Could you please clarify the servings per (batch) ,or are the ingredient volumes listed all for one serving ? I’m trying to count the calories for my wife. Thank you. It sounds great
There are 4 servings for the entire recipe. The calories listed are for one serving which is 1/4 of the crust.
Just YUM!! I accidentally used cream cheese instead of the cottage cheese, and the crust was fantastic! I will try cottage cheese next time. This is going to be a staple in my keto diet!
Ha! I’ll have to try that.
I have made this two nights in a row. My vegetarian daughter likes this as well. I like how well the crust holds up, the flavor, and the fact that you use less eggs than other keto pizza dough recipes. Quick and easy, this will soon be a staple. Nom nom.
Yay! Glad you liked it.
Question: What size crust does this make…roughly
It makes a half sheet size but you should divide it into pizza size portions.
