So, I came up with a low-carb pizza recipe that makes for a firm yet chewy crust that’s fit for holding all of your favorite toppings.
Table of Contents
Why I love this recipe
- It’s fast. I’m talking 20 minutes, including time to make the pizza dough.
- Everyone will love it. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve shared this pizza with my non-keto friends. They always go back for seconds!
- There’s no yeast. Helping to cut down on the prep time by half.
- No fork needed. I’ve noticed a lot of low-carb pizzas need a fork because the crust gets soggy. Mine is thick, chewy, and perfectly crisp.
★★★★★ REVIEW
“WOW!! If I could give you more than 5 stars, I would. I’ve tried many keto pizza recipes, including cauliflower. This one topped them all.” – Karen
Ingredients needed
- Almond flour. You must use blanched almond flour, not almond meal. The latter will yield a grittier pizza crust and will burn easily.
- Mozzarella cheese. I recommend using a low moisture mozzarella cheese, as it keeps the crust chewy and fluffy.
- Cream cheese. Use cream cheese from a stick or block, not a tub (spreadable). This makes all the difference in terms of how crispy the crust will be. More liquid (i.e. tub cream cheese) = soggy crust.
- Eggs. Room temperature eggs.
- Olive oil. to brush around the sides of the pizza.
- Pizza sauce- Store-bought ones are usually low in sugar, but I keep things simple with my homemade keto pizza sauce.
- Toppings of choice. Use your favorite pizza toppings and, of course, mozzarella cheese.

How to make keto pizza
Step 1- Prep work. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F and lightly grease a pizza pan or baking sheet.
Step 2- Make the dough. Add the almond flour to a large bowl. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the mozzarella and cream cheese in 20-second intervals until melted. Whisk together, then transfer it to the bowl of almond flour. Add the eggs and mix until a sticky dough remains.
Step 3- Shape. Place a piece of parchment paper on a flat surface and the dough on top. Place a second piece of parchment paper over it. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin until it is ½ inch thick. Remove the top sheet and shape the dough into a pizza shape.
Step 4- Pre-bake the crust. Place the dough on the pizza pan and bake for 12 minutes.
Step 5- Add toppings and bake again. Remove the crust from the oven and add the sauce, cheese, and toppings. Brush the sides with olive oil and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden around the edges and the cheese has melted.
Keto frozen pizza
Everyone loves the convenience of a frozen pizza, so why not have a keto option available too?
To make a frozen keto pizza, you’ll need to follow the same process as if you were going to cook it completely. However, once you pre-bake the crust, let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, add your sauce and toppings, and cover it completely with plastic wrap (saran wrap). Place it in the freezer and keep it there for up to 2 months.
To cook from frozen, simply place the frozen pizza into a preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese has melted.
Arman’s recipe tips
- Let the cheese cool slightly. Make sure the cheese is cool enough to handle when you add the eggs, otherwise you’ll scramble them!
- Flavor the keto pizza crust. Fold in some seasonings, like garlic powder or dried oregano, to give the dough a taste boost.
- Oil the pizza pan to prevent the crust from sticking.
- Don’t skip the pre-bake. If you do, the crust will be slightly raw and undercooked.
- Swap this pizza crust for a different low-carb pizza crust, like my fathead pizza crust or cauliflower pizza crust.
Flavor ideas
- Margherita. Finely sliced fresh mozzarella cheese and sliced tomatoes.
- Vegetarian. Mushrooms, peppers, onions, olives, spinach and tomatoes.
- BBQ chicken. Swap the tomato sauce for keto BBQ sauce and add shredded chicken, onions, and bacon.
- Meat lovers. Shredded ham, pepperoni, bacon, and sausage.
- Pepperoni. Add a thin layer of sliced pepperoni and parmesan cheese.
- Cheeseburger. Sharp cheddar cheese, caramelized onion, and ground beef (or taco meat).
Storage instructions
To store: Leftover pizza can be stored in the refrigerator, covered. It will keep well for up to 1 week.
To freeze: Place slices of the pizza in a ziplock bag and store them in the freezer for up to 6 months.
Reheating: Either microwave the slices for 30 seconds, use a preheated oven (180C/350F) or even toast them up in a non-stick pan.
Frequently asked questions
Each slice of this recipe has just 2 grams of net carbs each, and the entire pizza crust has just 8 grams of carbs.
Do not replace the almond flour for coconut flour. Both flours, while keto friendly, have different baking properties and will not yield the same results.

This is seriously amazing. I love it so much. I’ve made the whole recipe for the family and quartered it and just used pan frying for the crust and air fryer for crisping it up with the toppings. It is so good and so easy!
I made this last weekend for my friend who eats very little carbs. She was amazed! Thanks so much really!
I made this for the first time tonight. My hubby is trying to cut back as he thinks he may be pre diabetic. He is slim and fit but his glucose levels have been high. I was a little skeptical using the almond flour but it was fabulous. I loaded the pizza with olives, green pepper, left over chicken and roast port, mushrooms, onion and cheese. we will see what his blood count is later tonight.
He loved it, said it was tastier than a whole wheat pizza.
Truly the best keto pizza i’ve ever tasted.
I see many of your recipes are keto but I like carbs so much…
hi possible to sub using hazelnit flour?
You could try- I’ve successfully subbed hazelnut or cashew flour for almond flour in some of my other recipes.
SO GOOD! STAYS CRISPY TOO.
Yay!! as it should!
Hi Arman, thankyou very much for all these wonderful recipes!
I’m in England, and it would really help to have the ingredients also shown with their quantities in grams. It’s a bit of a nightmare trying to convert US cup measurments accurately for different ingredients.
I’m not exactly sure how much mozzarella to use for this delicious looking pizza, for example!
We are hoping to slowly incorporate it moving forward 🙂
Yeah, this recipe looks awesome, but the lack of measurements in grams are disappointing
WOW!! If I could give you more than 5 stars I would. I’ve tried many keto pizza recipes, including cauliflower. This one topped them all. The others have always left us hungry after finishing them. This one we couldn’t finish, had to save our last piece for later. This is also the first one that I’ve been able to hold keto pizza without collapsing (it’s just not pizza if I can’t hold it)…lol. I ran out of mozzarella cheese so I mixed in cheddar but next time it’ll be mozzarella all the way. Thank you Arman for this amazing recipe. Saved to my bookmarks so it’s my new go-to recipe.
😀 Thanks. Karen!
Can you freeze the pizza dough?
I’d be cautious of doing that as it could become quite brittle and oily when thawed.
This was amazing! I was able to enjoy pizza night with my family and felt full for the first time since starting Keto.
I make this keto pizza at least once a week!
This is such a good low carb pizza
I’ve tried several keto crusts. This is the best and it passes the reheating test. I can eat enough to be filling and not raise my glucose out of target range. Thanks.
Love that!
My question: do you leave the crust on the parchment paper in the oven?
Completely up to you 🙂
I’ve made this twice love it
I have to comment now that this is my third time coming back to this recipe. This saves my sanity on keto! I am such a pizza lover and this hits the spot! Thank you so much!
It’s tasty! I’ve been searching for a gf crust for years. I found this because I just started keto. This is simple and very filling. I personally prefer more vegetables.
Crispy, chewy crust- exactly what I was after!
versatile and delicious ..thank youuuuuuuu xxx
Great pizza crust! The best yet. I added a little bit of garlic powder and Italian seasoning to the crust recipe. 5 stars for sure!
Really great recipe. Best keto crust I’ve tried so far in terms of texture and consistency
I gotta agree with everyone, this IS the best keto pizza crust out there, however I have 1 tweak.
I found the dough just a bit too thick, maybe for my size of pan not sure, but still 1/2″ is too thick for me.
I halved it and made 2, but alas too thin. Sooooooooo, now I make 2 batches and make 3 pizzas out of it. One for the day I’m eating and 2 go in the freezer. Essentially, its not changing the ratio of the ingredients, because that is perfect, just 2/3’s of the batch I found makes the perfect pizza for me.
Thanks Arman
This recipe was super easy to put together. Pizza was amazing! I give it 5 stars. You will not be disappointed!

My toppings were great and was just like dominos
Best keto pizza I’ve made in the 5 years I’ve been on keto!
Thanks, Michelle!
This was the best low carb pizza recipe I’ve ever made.
Hands down, the best keto pizza I’ve ever made. No other recipe comes close. Looked exactly like the picture.
This is by far our favorite Keto Pizza Recipe. I have made it at least 10 times. Thank you for sharing!
That’s what I like to hear, Jean!
Mine turned out great even my fussy son likes it thank you for a great recipe
So I never leave comments but this pizza recipe is the BOMB. So thankful you are keto. Have used a number of your recipes never to be let down. Thanks again and keep um comin.
Just took a bite and seriously this recipe works, it’s tasty, versatile and so easy! No more store bought for our house, unless it says ARMAN LIEW!!
You are a gem, Dee!
What size pizza does this make? 12 inch or what?
This recipe does not state the nutritional values per serving size, nor does it state how much a serving size is i.e; 1serving = 1 slice.
Yes it does. In the recipe card.
So is this 2 net carbs per slice?
Amazing. I made with veggies and topped with sun dried tomatoes
Was delicious and fairly easy to make. Next time, I’d probably add some minced garlic and a small sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the sauce. Maybe a little garlic powder and Italian seasoning to the crust, but that’s just me. It actually tastes wonderful on its own.
Omgggggg thank you for this recipe! Only thing I’m mad about is that I didn’t find this sooner… literally the best Keto pizza I’ve made & I’ve made quite a few. In my opinion the crust tastes like DiGiorno pizza & im in love! 🙌🏾
This has become a go-to at our house. The pizza crust is pretty easy to make and is delicious. Tonight I didn’t have enough mozzarella on hand so I substituted a Mexican blend in the crust. It still worked! Mushrooms and pepperoni and bon apetit!
This was really good but but the crust is so rich and cheesy, it makes me wonder if I used too much mozzarella cheese. Should it be 3 cups shredded mozzarella or 3 cups block mozzarella cheese?
Hi Sam- shredded!
This pizza kicked A$$!!! I made this for my husband and my parents and they love love love it!!!! Colored peppers, portabella mushrooms, onions, cpl sundried tomatoes!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ My third attempt at pizza lol (different ones) FINALLY WE HAVE A WINNER! Thank you
Can you make the dough ahead of time, refrigerate it and then roll it out and make it later?
Way better than expected, would def make again
This is the BEST we have ever had! Even our non Keto teenage son thought this was amazing and had no clue it wasn’t regular pizza.
Amazing crust! We have tried many and this is our favorite! Thank you for the recipe!
I followed the pizza crust recipe completely and just halved it because I was making mini pizzas. 😉
It made four mini pizzas and I topped mine with Pulled BBQ Chicken Breast.
This will be the only pizza crust recipe I use from now on.
I served two of the pizzas tonight and used the food saver to vacuum pack the other two for another night. I am so happy I found this recipe! Good Job!!! 5 stars!
Made this today. I used a food processor to mix it together then I put the pizza dough directly into the greased pizza pan. I then spread it out to fit the pan with moistened fingers. Saved the rolling out step.
I pricked the crust with a fork to stop bubbling. Work perfectly. I added some garlic powder to the crust because we like that. Can’t wait to try it later.
Freaking amazing. Made BBQ CHIX RANCH
This would be good as crackers, very sticky dough, use almond flour to handle it after. Make sure to leave parchment under when baking. I did not make pizza, Just cut up as crackers.
I was craving something “carb heavy” about 10 days into the Keto diet. I’m so glad I found this recipe, definitely satisfies the craving for pizza. It’s easy to make and 100% delicious. The second time I made it, I added a little salt and garlic powder to the crust. Low carb pizza crust can’t get any better than this!
I used your recipe with my own special flair. I mixed in a little bit of baking powder plus garlic powder and Italian seasoning to the crust.I rolled out a rectangular pizza. Cooked it for 6 mins then flipped it coking it another 6 mins before adding the toppings. Came out super yummy!
This recipe is soooo good. Best keto and gluten free crust I’ve had yet! I used an egg substitute in place of chicken eggs too. Highly recommend!
This was really good pizza – almost seemed like “normal” crust. The only issue I had was that the dough stuck to both sides of the parchment paper, and I had to use a fork to scoop it off and put it in the pan to bake it. Not sure what I did wrong – I halved the recipe since I was just making it for me, but the dough was so goopy it really stuck to the paper. I think next time I will just plop it into the pan and flatten it with a glass. But it was delicious, thanks for this recipe!
Hi Leigh! Try lightly dusting your hands in some almond flour and/or oil to make it more pliable.
I was skeptical that this would turn out like “normal ” pizza crust, but you’ve never steered me wrong, so I tried it. It was so delicious, with a properly chewy text, and best of all no bloated feeling afterward from an excess of gluten. I think I prefer this to “real” pizza!
Made this on a pizza stone and it was perfect.
I am a 68 year old Gramma who has for many years been a low carb/keto eater.
I absolutely love this Pizza recipe, and now it is my go recipe to for pizza and movie night. The crust is amazing.
I subscribed to receive your emails of new recipes and have tried many. They are easy to follow, and I really like the tips I find in them.
Just wanted you, and others to know that, although my finished attempts at all of your recipes I’ve tried may not look as good as the great pictures of your finished recipes when I’m done, (but maybe with practise), I’ve enjoyed many of your recipes and will continue, with no doubt, to do so.
Thank you so much Arman.
Thank for your recipes I live and Puerto Rico
Cherri Fellows…what are you watching your cholesterol for? You need cholesterol…whole eggs are perfectly fine to eat…If you need more information regarding keto have a look at the writings of Prof. Tim Noakes, Tim Rice, Belinda Fettke, They all advocate eggs as a perfect protein
Brand new to Keto. Never know I could have pizza! 100% satisfied after eating this. Thank you!
What can you use to substitute the cream cheese?
You could try sour cream but I haven’t tried it myself so feel free to experiment.
Excellent recipe. I’ve tried several other types and was disappointed by them.
Your’s was absolutely amazing in all areas. Preparation, looks and taste.
Thanks for sharing and I look forward to other recipes by you. I’ve been a happy subscriber for awhile!
Take care and be safe 🤗
What size pizza does this make?
Absolutely delicious! The taste was so pizza-like that my picky husband did not know it was not regular crust. The sauce did not soak in and make the crust mushy. It was golden brown and crispy on the bottom with a slightly chewy that Mr. Picky loved. Great job Arman with another winner.
Super quick and easy and tastes just like a regular pizza! I was surprised that the dough was mostly cheese but I couldn’t tell the difference, the texture and taste is spot on. I will definitely be making this a lot, thank you for sharing!
Made it for the first time tonight – super easy and super tasty! Crust stayed moist without being spongey like other recipes I’ve tried. Will definitely be making again.
The best keto pizza dough hands down. Just as good reheated.
Tried this recipe for the first time today and it came out great! We really loved it, much better than the keto pizza from Pizza Pizza (Canada).
Thanks for the recipe! It’s super quick and easy to make!
I love this pizza crust. It’s amazing and never fails. I have also used this recipe to make keto friendly appetizers that call for puff pastry or bread like crackers. It’s a go to recipe. Thank you for sharing
Man! This turned out way better than I thought it would. I’ve made regular fat head dough before plenty, and it always did the trick, but making the dough this way just made a much nicer, “doughier” crust. Yum. Yum. This will be my go to from now on. Thank you!
For Keto this was excellent and awesome low carb. Very tasty especially with your sauce!
Hi, I can’t wait to try this recipe. A quick question would substituting the eggs with a “flax” egg or egg replacer work? Also how much is 1 serving in the nutrition? Thanks, Anna
I haven’t tried. 1 serving is 1/8 of the pizza.
The best keto pizza! The taste was awesome. I couldn’t tell it was low carb.
Thank you!!
Excellent & super easy
Will oat flour work?
TIA
Haven’t tried! Feel free to experiment and see
Any thoughts on using coconut flour instead? The swap is 1/4 cup coconut for 1 cup almond flour. The fat content is much lower. I haven’t tried it, but since coconut flour absorbs moisture more, it might need an additional egg white.
Haven’t tried, feel free to experiment and see.
Hi,
If i pre-bake the base in the oven before toppings, could i finish off in our ooni pizza oven?
Just ordered one- let me get back to you after it arrives haha! 🙂
Sounds delish! What size pizza does this make? Can the dough be used for calzones? Thanks.
Going to try Calzones this weekend 🙂
As always your recipes turn out perfectly…thank you so much!!
Love the way it turned out!
Thanks, Daniel!
This really is like Dominos, but BETTER! Who knew a crust with mozzarella cheese in it would produce a fluffy and doughy crust. 5 stars. This is the best keto pizza crust recipe I’ve ever made. and I’ve made lots!
Hi Arman,
Can I use this recipe, to make a calzone?
Sincerely, Kevin ( Clinton, Mass.)
My crust came out perfect, definitely the best keto pizza i’ve made.
Hello Arman, thank you so much for all of your wonderful recipes, tips and videos! I would love to make a pizza tomorrow for my husband and I but was wondering if this could be made with egg whites instead of two whole eggs since we both need to watch our cholesterol. Thank you so much:)
I haven’t tried but feel free to experiment and see 🙂
