Let’s be honest — when we’re craving pizza, we don’t want to wait an hour for dough to rise or the oven to preheat. We want it now. And if you’re following a keto diet, the idea of a crispy, cheesy, satisfying pizza might sound like a distant dream.

But here’s the good news: you can make a delicious, low-carb keto pizza in just five minutes. No fancy ingredients, no complicated prep. Just a quick, easy, and seriously satisfying recipe that fits perfectly into your keto lifestyle.

We’ve all seen recipes that claim to be “quick,” but they often take 20 or 30 minutes once you read the fine print. This one is genuinely fast. In fact, you’ll spend more time deciding on toppings than actually cooking it.

The secret? We skip the traditional dough and use a simple, keto-friendly crust made with just a few ingredients — mostly cheese, almond flour, and egg. These melt and crisp beautifully, giving you that authentic pizza feel without the carbs.

Bonus: This pizza is gluten-free, grain-free, and guilt-free.

Here’s what we’ll need to whip up our 5-minute keto pizza. Everything is easy to find and probably already in your fridge or pantry:

• ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 tablespoon cream cheese
• 3 tablespoons almond flour
• 1 egg
• Salt and garlic powder to taste
• 2 tablespoons sugar-free tomato sauce (or low-carb marinara)
• Extra mozzarella or cheese blend for topping
• Your favorite keto toppings – pepperoni, olives, mushrooms, or even a few spinach leaves

That’s it! No yeast, no kneading, and no mess.

Let’s get right into it. This recipe is quick, but it’s all about timing — so read through once before you start cooking.

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella and cream cheese. Heat for about 45 seconds, then stir until smooth. It should look like a sticky, stretchy dough.

Mix in the almond flour, then crack in the egg. Stir (or knead with a spoon) until everything comes together. If it feels too sticky, add a bit more almond flour.

Pro tip: Rub a tiny bit of olive oil on your hands or spoon — it keeps the dough from sticking.

Place the dough on parchment paper and press it into a thin circle. You can make it thick if you want a softer crust, but thin gives you that nice crispiness.

You have two quick options here:

• Microwave method: Microwave the crust for 60–90 seconds until it firms up.
• Stovetop method: Cook in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side until golden.

We prefer the stovetop — it gives a better crunch!

Spread a thin layer of sugar-free tomato sauce, sprinkle with cheese, and pile on your favorite toppings.

Pop it back in the microwave for 30–45 seconds, or cover your skillet and cook on low until the cheese melts.

And just like that — you’ve got pizza.

Let’s face it: the toppings make the pizza. Luckily, there are plenty of low-carb options that pack tons of flavor. Here are a few of our go-tos:

• Classic pepperoni and mozzarella — can’t go wrong.
• BBQ chicken keto-style – use sugar-free BBQ sauce and shredded chicken.
• Veggie lover’s delight – mushrooms, peppers, spinach, and black olives.
• Buffalo pizza – shredded chicken, mozzarella, and a drizzle of hot sauce.
• Pesto and fresh mozzarella – a fancy twist that tastes restaurant-quality.

Tip: Avoid pineapple, corn, or sugary sauces — they can quickly throw you out of ketosis.

Of course, one of the best parts about keto pizza is that you can enjoy it without worrying about carbs. Here’s a quick estimate for one serving (entire pizza):

• Calories: ~450–500
• Net Carbs: 4–6g
• Fat: 35–40g
• Protein: 25–30g

These numbers can change depending on toppings, but overall, this is a high-fat, moderate-protein, low-carb winner.

If you’ve tried low-carb pizzas before, you know they can be hit or miss. Here’s how to make sure yours turns out great every single time:

• Don’t overheat the cheese mixture. It should be melted, not bubbling.
• Use parchment paper. Otherwise, it might stick to your pan or plate.
• Season the crust. A pinch of garlic powder, Italian seasoning, or even grated parmesan makes a huge difference.
• Let it cool for a minute before slicing. The cheese firms up a bit and gives that real pizza texture.

And yes, it’s totally okay to eat it straight out of the pan. We won’t judge.

If you’re feeling fancy, add a little twist:

• Brush olive oil on the crust before baking for a golden finish.
• Sprinkle with red pepper flakes for heat.
• Top with fresh basil or arugula after cooking for a fresh bite.
• Add a drizzle of garlic butter — keto heaven!

Sometimes it’s the small touches that take a simple 5-minute meal to a restaurant-level treat.

Honestly? Anytime.

It’s perfect for:

• Quick weeknight dinners
• Late-night cravings
• Lunches on the go
• Post-workout meals (hello, protein!)
• Movie nights — especially if everyone else is eating “real” pizza

This 5-minute keto pizza is our go-to when we’re hungry, busy, and still want something comforting and delicious.

Although this pizza is best fresh, you can definitely make extra and save it for later.

• Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Pop it in the air fryer for 2 minutes or microwave for 30 seconds.
• Freezer: Yes, you can freeze the crust (before adding toppings). Wrap it in parchment and store in a freezer bag.

When ready to eat, just top and heat.

At the end of the day, this 5-minute keto pizza checks all the boxes:

✅ Fast – seriously, five minutes from start to finish.
