Ingredients
For the Keto Pizza Crust
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Pizza Toppings
- ½ cup sugar-free pizza sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 20 slices pepperoni
- ½ cup cooked Italian sausage
- 4 slices cooked bacon, chopped
- ¼ cup diced ham
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a pizza pan or baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Make the Dough
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for about 90 seconds, stirring halfway through until the cheeses are completely melted.
Add the almond flour, egg, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix thoroughly until a smooth dough forms. If the dough becomes sticky, lightly oil your hands while mixing.
Step 3: Shape the Crust
Place the dough onto the prepared baking tray. Cover it with another sheet of parchment paper and roll it into a circle about ¼-inch thick.
Remove the top parchment paper and use a fork to poke small holes throughout the crust.
Step 4: Bake the Crust
Bake the crust for 10–12 minutes or until it turns golden brown around the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for 2 minutes.
Step 5: Add the Toppings
Spread the sugar-free pizza sauce evenly over the crust.
Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Evenly distribute the pepperoni, cooked sausage, bacon, and diced ham across the pizza.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning over the top.
Step 6: Final Bake
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
For a slightly crispy cheese topping, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end of cooking.
Step 7: Rest and Serve
Allow the pizza to cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.

- Reheat slices in the oven or air fryer for the best texture.
Variations

- Include black olives for a Mediterranean twist.
- Sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes for additional heat.
- Substitute cheddar cheese for part of the mozzarella for a richer taste.
- Add jalapeños if you enjoy spicy pizza.
