Several months ago I prepared a Fathead Bacon Chicken Alfredo Pizza recipe. This recipe is very similar and is actually a lot easier to make!
Can I Eat Pizza in Keto Diet? Is Thin Crust Pizza Keto?
Yes! An easy way to enjoy pizza on a ketosis lifestyle is to make fathead pizza crust. You make fathead pizza dough as thick or as thin as you like.
How To You Make The Dough
- You will need to microwave mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Next, add almond flour and eggs.
- Stir and combine to form a crust.
- Roll out the crust on a pizza pan using parchment paper.
Pizza Recipe Tips
- The dough will be really sticky to roll out. Use parchment paper to bake. You can either use really clean hands or a second sheet of parchment paper to roll out the dough. If you roll the dough with your hands, wet them first. This will keep the dough from sticking to your hands and fingers as you roll it out.
- If the batter becomes too thick and hard to stir, microwave for another 15 seconds. This will allow the almond flour to moisten some with the cream cheese and mozzarella.
- Applying melted butter to the pizza crust is awesome, and trust me it tastes amazing.
- For a thinner crust pizza use 3/4 cup almond flour, one egg, and 1 tablespoon of cream cheese as a modification.

Feel free to add any of your favorite toppings to this recipe. I added spinach, cheddar parmesan, and mozzarella cheese. There are so many keto-friendly toppings to choose from!
You can add ground beef, sausage, or even make it vegetarian pizza and load it up with veggies!
For storage, I wrapped my pizza tightly in foil and stored it in the fridge. I used the oven to reheat.

Instructions
Pizza Crust
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Add the mozzarella and cream cheese to a large bowl. Place in the microwave for 60 seconds.
- Remove the mixture from the microwave. Add the Italian Seasoning and stir.
- Stir in the almond flour. The mixture may become really thick and difficult to stir. If so, place the bowl back in the microwave for another 30 seconds.
- Remove from the microwave and stir. Add in the egg. Stir until the mixture forms crust.
- Place a sheet of parchment paper over the pizza pan.
- Spoon the dough onto the parchment paper. Place another sheet of parchment paper over the dough to help roll out and flatten the dough.
- For extra flavor spread the melted butter over the crust using a cooking brush. (optional)
- Using a fork, poke holes throughout the pizza dough. This will allow the crust to rise.
- Bake for 8 minutes.
Assemble the Pizza and Bake
- Remove the pizza from the oven. Spread the Raos marinara sauce over the pizza crust.
- Add the fresh spinach.
- Add the pepperoni slices throughout. Sprinkle the mozzarella, cheddar and Parmesan cheese on the top.
- Bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until the cheese has melted. Mine was ready at 8 minutes.
- Cool before serving.

We've made this pizza crust many times and absolutely love it. I also add just a bit of nutritional yeast and fennel pollen. I love it the first day and love it even more the second day heated up on low in the microwave. So delicious. I've tried many keto pizza crusts and this is by far the very best. Thank you for sharing. Blessing to you and your family.

You did not list how many carbs are in this recipe, and I would really like to know how many net grams of carbs, total fat grams, and total protein grams. All this shows is the calories.
