Pizza night is back. 43 keto Italian recipes. See the Menu →
Friday pizza night does not get cancelled just because you are eating keto. These 22 recipes are the ones that survived years of trial and a lot of very honest feedback from my family. Net carbs run from 0.4g to 8.8g. Most land on the table in under 30 minutes. A few skip the crust entirely and nobody complains.
Four different crust approaches because one size does not fit every craving. Pick by what you have in the fridge and how much time you actually have.
84 reviews. 4.9 stars. The fat head dough crust has been in the rotation long enough that I stopped second-guessing it. About 3.5 grams net carbs per slice, chewy center, bottom that crisps up without a pizza stone. The mozzarella-cream cheese ratio is the reason it works.
No almond flour. No coconut flour. The crust is shredded chicken pressed flat with cheese and egg, baked until it holds together, then loaded like any other pizza. Barely 2 grams net carbs and 27g protein per serving. My husband had no idea until the third time I made it.
Cast iron is doing a lot of work here. The lupin flour dough goes in cold, the pan pre-heats, and you get a Chicago-style bottom crust with real structure. Under 3g net carbs, 22 five-star reviews. Thick. Cheesy. Nothing like a flatbread.
Fat head dough on a grill is a different recipe than fat head dough in an oven, and this version finally made that obvious to me. The char on the bottom, the slight smoky edge through the cheese. About 6 grams net carbs, 36g protein. Worth firing up the grill for.
The dough is optional. Every recipe in this section skips it without apologizing, and at least two of them I make more often than any crust version.
Sauce, pepperoni, mozzarella, oven. The entire dish is exactly what it sounds like: pizza without the bread situation. 15 minutes start to finish. About 3 grams net carbs. On weeknights when the counter is already a mess, this is the call.
One minute prep. One minute in the microwave. Mug pizza is not a meal I expected to take seriously, but barely 4 carbs and actual melted cheese on top changed my opinion. My kids make this one themselves, which says something about the difficulty level.
Same idea as the mug pizza, baked instead. The oven run gives the cheese time to brown at the edges, which the microwave cannot do. 30g protein and under 8 grams net carbs in one bowl. Closer to a casserole than a snack, honestly.
Waffle iron. Pizza toppings. Six minutes. The batter is just egg and cheese and it crisps up in the iron in a way that surprises people every time. Barely 3 carbs. I keep a batch of batter in the fridge so the boys can run these themselves after practice.
These scale without falling apart and hold up long enough to survive a drive to someone else's house. Useful when you need to feed people who are not tracking anything.
Pull-apart rolls stacked with cheese, sauce, and pepperoni. The whole pan feeds 12, with about 5 grams net carbs per serving. I have brought this to three different potlucks. It is always gone before anything else on the table.
Portable. Freezer-friendly. Over 60 reviews. The pizza rolls hold together in transit, reheat well, and land somewhere around 7 grams net carbs. Sunday batch, grab-and-go lunches all week. That is the system and it works.
About 0.4 grams net carbs per meatball. That number made it easy to portion for a crowd without anyone needing a calculator. Air fryer or oven or stovetop, all three methods are in the recipe. They also freeze without turning rubbery.
Hot dip with 4g net carbs that works in the air fryer or the slow cooker depending on your setup. The cheese and pepperoni situation on top gets bubbly. I have made this for game day six or seven times. Well, probably eight.
Eggs and pizza toppings belong together. These two recipes are proof that the flavors translate to morning without any awkwardness.
What happens when you scramble eggs with pepperoni and cream cheese and top the whole thing with marinara and mozzarella? 1g net carb and 10 minutes, apparently. My kids put in a request for this on school mornings more often than I expected.
Garlic cream sauce as the base. Eggs cracked directly onto the top and baked until set. Bacon underneath. The pan feeds 8 at 4.8g net carbs. Brunch recipe, technically, but I have made it for dinner twice and nobody raised an objection.
Once a good crust is in your rotation, the topping combinations are where it gets interesting. These four move past the basics.
Pesto base swapped in for marinara, leftover rotisserie chicken pulled across the top, cherry tomatoes and roasted bell pepper. 5.1g net carbs. This came out of a nothing-in-the-fridge situation and it ended up better than I planned.
Slow cooker pulled pork on fat head crust. Sweet, tangy, a little smoky against the plain cheese base. 5.3g net carbs. The point is using up the pulled pork before it becomes a sad container in the back of the fridge.
Chicken thighs roasted flat in a sheet pan with sauce and mozzarella and toppings spread across them. Not a pizza. But 4.6g net carbs, 32g protein, and the cleanup is one pan.
Meatloaf with marinara, mozzarella, and pepperoni baked into the top. Ground beef and pork in the base. 2.2g net carbs, 44g protein. My kids started calling it "pizza in disguise" and I never corrected them because the name stuck.
