Keto Pizza

Pizza is another one of those foods that are a no-go on keto. That’s because the base is made from highly refined flour. Even a small slice of savory, delicious, indulgent pizza will kick you out of ketosis faster than you can say, “Mamma Mia!”

While you can’t eat regular pizza on the low-carb keto diet, you can make your own keto-friendly version of this tasty Italian dish. It’s not hard to make and tastes fantastic.

So, don’t deprive yourself of Friday night pizza – make this keto-approved version instead. Not only is it easy to make and keto-friendly, but you’ll love how it tastes too!

Bottom Line

A lot of keto pizzas involve convoluted carb-free dough and are almost more trouble than they are worth. And while you can use flour substitutes like ground almonds to make an acceptable keto dough, who wants a pizza that tastes like marzipan?

The combination of eggs and mozzarella makes a much tastier base and provides this meal with some welcome protein.

Not a fan of pepperoni or olives? No problem! Just make the base and then customize the rest of the recipe based on your preferences. How about tuna and red onion, ham, and rocket, or pulled pork and yellow peppers? Any low carb choice will work.

Use your imagination to make the keto-friendly pizza of your dreams!
