Let’s be honest — few things in life bring us as much joy as a warm, cheesy slice of pizza. The problem? Traditional pizza crusts are loaded with carbs. If we’re trying to eat low-carb, keto, or sugar-free, pizza night can quickly turn into temptation night.

But what if we told you there’s a way to have your pizza and eat it too — with zero net carbs?

That’s right, zero. No guilt, no blood sugar spikes, no compromise on flavor. Let’s dive deep into how a 0 net carb pizza crust works, what it’s made of, and how we can make it at home.

Before we start mixing ingredients, let’s clarify this buzzword.

When we talk about net carbs, we’re referring to the total carbohydrates in a food minus the fiber and sugar alcohols (like erythritol or allulose) that don’t affect blood sugar levels.

For example:
If a crust has 10 grams of total carbs, 8 grams of fiber, and 2 grams of sugar alcohols, the net carbs = 0 grams.

So, a 0 net carb crust is designed to be virtually carb-free — making it ideal for anyone following a keto, diabetic-friendly, or low-carb lifestyle.

The magic comes from the ingredients. Instead of the usual wheat flour, we use low-carb alternatives that are high in fiber and protein. Let’s break down the key players:

Coconut Flour

Extremely low in carbs and high in fiber. A little goes a long way — it absorbs a lot of moisture, so we only need a small amount.

Cheese (Mozzarella or Cream Cheese)

This gives the crust its structure and that classic chewy texture. It also adds fat, which keeps the crust rich and satisfying.

Eggs

They bind everything together, adding protein and helping the crust hold its shape.

Psyllium Husk or Ground Flaxseed

These are fiber powerhouses. They help create that doughy texture while keeping net carbs at zero.

Seasonings

Garlic powder, Italian herbs, and a pinch of salt make all the difference. A bland crust is a missed opportunity!

When combined just right, these ingredients create a crust that’s crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and absolutely pizza-worthy.

Making your own crust at home is easier than you might think. Here’s a tried-and-true recipe we can whip up in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 oz cream cheese
• 1 large egg
• 2 tbsp coconut flour (or almond flour if you don’t need it to be zero)
• 1 tbsp psyllium husk powder
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp Italian seasoning
• A pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Melt the cheeses. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring until melted and smooth.
3. Add the dry ingredients. Mix in coconut flour, psyllium husk, baking powder, and seasonings. Stir well.
4. Add the egg. Mix until a dough forms. If it’s sticky, chill it in the fridge for 5–10 minutes.
5. Form your crust. Roll it out between two sheets of parchment paper to your desired thickness.
6. Bake the crust for 8–10 minutes, or until it starts to turn golden brown.
7. Add toppings! Spread sugar-free tomato sauce, cheese, and your favorite low-carb toppings.
8. Bake again for another 8–10 minutes, until everything is bubbly and crisp.

And that’s it — your homemade 0 net carb pizza crust is ready to serve!

We’ve made this recipe countless times, and a few tricks really help:

• Use parchment paper. It prevents sticking and makes cleanup effortless.
• Don’t overbake. The crust can become too crispy or dry if left too long in the oven.
• Experiment with cheese. Mozzarella is classic, but cheddar or provolone adds a deeper flavor.
• Add texture. Sprinkle sesame seeds or grated parmesan on top before baking for an artisan touch.

If we’re going low-carb, let’s do it right! Here are some amazing topping ideas that won’t ruin your macros:

• Classic Pepperoni – salty, crisp, and always a crowd-pleaser.
• Grilled Chicken & Spinach – high in protein, low in carbs.
• Buffalo Chicken – drizzle sugar-free buffalo sauce and a little ranch.
• Veggie Delight – mushrooms, bell peppers, and olives keep it colorful.
• Cheese Lovers’ Dream – mozzarella, feta, and a sprinkle of parmesan.

Just make sure to use sugar-free sauces and avoid sweet toppings like BBQ sauce unless you use a keto-friendly version.

Let’s talk texture and flavor — because if we’re honest, that’s what matters most.

A regular pizza crust made with wheat flour is chewy and slightly airy. A 0 net carb crust, especially one based on cheese and coconut flour, will be a little denser — but it’s still delicious.

The flavor is rich, slightly cheesy, and pairs perfectly with classic pizza toppings. Many people actually prefer it because it’s more filling and satisfying. Plus, you won’t get that post-pizza bloat or sugar crash.

Here’s an approximate nutrition summary for an 8-slice pizza:

Of course, this can vary depending on the exact ingredients you use, but it’s a great baseline.

It’s not just about eating fewer carbs. It’s about enjoying pizza again without that heavy feeling or guilt afterward.

We get to:
✅ Stay on track with keto or low-carb goals
✅ Enjoy real, satisfying flavors
✅ Avoid hidden sugars
✅ And still share pizza nights with friends and family

There’s something empowering about making your own crust from scratch — especially when it fits your health goals perfectly.

Can I store the crust for later?

Absolutely! You can store it in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze it for up to a month. Just reheat in the oven before adding toppings.

Can I use almond flour instead of coconut flour?

Yes — but note that almond flour has more net carbs, so it won’t technically be “zero.”

Is this crust gluten-free?

Completely! None of the ingredients contain gluten.

Can I make it dairy-free?

It’s tricky since cheese is the main base, but you can try using dairy-free mozzarella and vegan cream cheese. The texture will be a bit different, though.

Pizza without the guilt…

We all deserve a slice of happiness — and with 0 net carb pizza crust, that’s finally possible. Whether you’re keto, diabetic, or just cutting back on carbs, this recipe proves that healthy eating doesn’t have to be boring.

Next time pizza night rolls around, let’s skip the takeout and make something that’s better for us and still absolutely delicious.

Because pizza should never be off-limits — it just needed a little low-carb makeover.
