If you’ve ever dreamed of having pizza on a low-carb or keto lifestyle without feeling like you’re eating cardboard — this one’s for us. Let’s be honest: finding a dough that’s both zero-carb and tastes good feels almost impossible.

But not today.

This 0 carb pizza dough recipe is light, cheesy, crisp around the edges, and satisfies that real pizza craving we all know so well. And the best part? It’s super easy to make, even if you’re not exactly a kitchen pro.

Let’s face it — pizza is one of those comfort foods we never want to give up. Whether it’s movie night, game day, or just a lazy Sunday, pizza hits differently. But traditional pizza dough? It’s packed with carbs that can easily kick us out of ketosis or make us feel bloated.

That’s why we love experimenting with zero carb dough options. This one is made mostly from cheese, eggs, and a little creativity. No flour. No gluten. No guilt.

So, yes — you can absolutely have pizza and stay on track with your goals.

Here’s what we’ll need to make the magic happen:

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 oz cream cheese
• 1 large egg
• ½ cup almond flour (optional if you’re going for “almost” zero carb — skip it for strict zero carb)
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp Italian seasoning (or just oregano if you prefer)
• A pinch of salt

Tip: Want to keep it 100% zero carb? Skip the almond flour and add one more ounce of mozzarella instead for structure.

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella and cream cheese.
Microwave for about 30–45 seconds, then stir until smooth. If it’s still a little chunky, pop it back in for another 15 seconds.

You want a stretchy, melted mixture that looks like smooth cheesy dough.

Once the cheese is smooth (and slightly cooled so it doesn’t cook the egg), add your egg, baking powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt.

Mix well — it’ll look a little sticky at first, and that’s okay. You can use a spatula, or your hands if you don’t mind getting a little messy.

If you’re using almond flour, fold it in now. It’ll give the dough a little more body, but again — skip it if you want absolute zero carbs.

Now comes the fun part. Lay down a piece of parchment paper, place the dough on top, and cover it with another sheet. Use a rolling pin (or a wine bottle — we’ve all been there) to roll it out to your desired thickness.

Tip: Thinner dough means crispier crust; thicker dough gives you a softer, chewier texture.

Aim for a circle about 10–12 inches across. Don’t stress if it’s not perfectly round — homemade pizza is meant to look a little rustic!

Transfer the rolled-out dough (still on parchment) to a baking sheet or pizza stone. Bake it in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.

This step is important — it helps the crust hold its shape once you add the toppings.

Once the crust looks lightly golden, pull it out and add your favorite low-carb toppings.

Some of our favorites include:

• Sugar-free tomato sauce
• Fresh mozzarella
• Pepperoni or bacon
• Olives, mushrooms, or peppers
• A sprinkle of Parmesan cheese

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 5–7 minutes, or until everything looks bubbly and irresistible.

When you take that first bite, you’ll realize this isn’t just another “diet food” experiment. It’s real pizza. The cheese base makes it rich, the edges have a satisfying crunch, and the whole thing just melts in your mouth.

You won’t miss the flour — promise.

⭐ Pro tip: Let the pizza cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. This helps the cheese firm up and keeps the slices from falling apart.

Once you master the basic version, you can get creative!
Here are a few delicious twists we love experimenting with:

• Garlic Butter Crust: Brush melted butter mixed with minced garlic over the edges before baking.
• Spicy Kick: Add crushed red pepper flakes to the dough for a bit of heat.
• Herb Lover’s Dream: Mix dried basil and parsley right into the dough for extra flavor.
• Cheesy Overload: Use a blend of mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan for an extra melty crust.

The possibilities are endless — and they all stay carb-free!

If you skip the almond flour, this dough comes in at about 0–1 gram of net carbs per slice (depending on your toppings).
It’s also high in protein and healthy fats, making it perfect for:

• Keto dieters
• Low-carb lifestyles
• Diabetic-friendly meal plans
• Or anyone just trying to cut down on carbs without sacrificing flavor

Can I freeze the dough?

Absolutely! Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment and freeze flat. When you’re ready to use it, just thaw and prebake as usual.

Can I use other cheeses?

Yes — though mozzarella works best because it melts smoothly. You can mix in cheddar or provolone for extra flavor, but stick with mozzarella as your base.

Can I make it dairy-free?

Technically, this version isn’t dairy-free. But you can experiment with vegan mozzarella and cream cheese alternatives. The texture will be slightly different, but it still works.

You can serve this 0 carb pizza dough in so many ways beyond pizza night:

• Cut into triangles and serve as garlic breadsticks
• Use as a base for mini calzones
• Make breakfast pizzas with eggs and bacon
• Or top it with cream cheese and smoked salmon for a fun twist

Once you start making this dough, you’ll find yourself using it all the time — it’s that versatile.

Eating low-carb doesn’t mean giving up our favorite comfort foods. It just means finding creative ways to enjoy them.

This 0 carb pizza dough recipe is proof that we can have pizza night any day of the week — and still stay on track. It’s simple, fast, and crazy satisfying.

So go ahead — preheat that oven, grab some cheese, and let’s make a pizza that tastes like a little slice of freedom.

Enjoy your meal! 🍕
