If you’ve ever found yourself missing pizza while following a keto lifestyle, you’re not alone. We’ve all been there — craving that cheesy, crispy, pepperoni-packed goodness but not wanting to blow our carb count for the day. Luckily, keto pepperoni pizza bites come to the rescue. They’re delicious, quick to make, and absolutely satisfying — the perfect fix for any pizza lover on a low-carb diet.

Let’s roll up our sleeves and make some magic in the kitchen.

There’s something incredibly comforting about pizza, right? It’s one of those foods that just brings everyone together. But traditional pizza crusts are loaded with carbs — a big no-go when we’re trying to stay in ketosis.

That’s why these mini keto pepperoni pizza bites are such a hit. They give us everything we love — the cheese, the sauce, the pepperoni, the flavor — without the guilt or the carbs.

Plus, they’re:

• ✅ Low-carb and gluten-free
• ✅ Ready in 20 minutes or less
• ✅ Kid-friendly and meal-prep friendly
• ✅ Perfect for parties or quick snacks

We can even pack them for work or road trips. They taste great warm or cold, which makes them the ultimate grab-and-go bite.

Here’s what we’ll need to make about 20 keto pepperoni pizza bites:

Base ingredients:

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup almond flour (super fine works best)
• 1 ounce cream cheese
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional but highly recommended)
• 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• A pinch of salt

Toppings:

• 1/3 cup sugar-free pizza sauce (or low-carb marinara)
• 20 slices of mini pepperoni (or regular ones cut in half)
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (for topping)
• Optional: crushed red pepper flakes, chopped basil, or oregano for garnish

Let’s get to the fun part — making these little cheesy bites of heaven.

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or mini muffin tin with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil spray.

We’ll use the mini muffin tin if we want perfectly round, evenly sized pizza bites. Otherwise, the baking sheet works fine for a slightly more rustic look.

We’re using what’s called a fathead dough, one of the most popular keto dough bases out there.

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for about 30 seconds, stir, then heat for another 20–30 seconds until fully melted and smooth.

Add in the almond flour, egg, baking powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt. Mix everything together until it forms a soft dough.

If the dough feels sticky, a little almond flour on your hands will help.

Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough per pizza bite and roll it into small balls. Place each one into the mini muffin tin.

Now, gently press the center of each dough ball with your thumb or a spoon to create a small indentation — this is where our sauce will go.

Add about ½ teaspoon of sugar-free pizza sauce into each little crater. Don’t overfill, or it might bubble over while baking.

Sprinkle each bite with a little mozzarella, then top it with a pepperoni slice.

If you love extra toppings, now’s the time to get creative. A sprinkle of crushed red pepper, some grated parmesan, or even a bit of cooked sausage or mushrooms can make these bites even more flavorful — all while keeping them keto-friendly.

Pop the muffin tin into the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the cheese on top gets bubbly.

Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes — every oven is different, and we don’t want to burn that beautiful cheese layer.

Let the bites cool for about 5 minutes before removing them from the tin. They’ll firm up as they cool, making them easier to handle.

Serve them with a side of extra keto-friendly pizza sauce or garlic butter dip for that extra indulgent touch.

Here’s a rough nutritional estimate (depending on your ingredients):

• Calories: 90
• Fat: 7g
• Protein: 5g
• Net Carbs: 1g

That’s right — just 1 net carb per bite! Which means we can enjoy a few of these without any guilt.

Making these is easy, but a few little tricks can make them turn out even better:

Use finely ground almond flour – It helps the dough stay smooth and light.

Don’t skip the baking powder – It gives the bites a nice lift.

Let the cheese cool slightly before adding the egg – Otherwise, it could scramble.

Customize the toppings – Add a small piece of bell pepper, olive, or jalapeño for variety.

Store leftovers in the fridge – They’ll stay fresh for up to 4 days. You can reheat them in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes, and they’ll taste freshly baked again.

One of the best things about these keto pepperoni pizza bites is how well they freeze and reheat.

If we want to make a big batch, we can:

1. Prepare them as usual and bake until just golden.
2. Let them cool completely.
3. Place them on a tray in the freezer for 1–2 hours (this prevents sticking).
4. Transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container.

When we’re ready to eat, just pop them in the oven or air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for about 5–6 minutes until warm and crispy again.

Let’s be honest — sticking to a keto lifestyle can sometimes feel restrictive, especially when it comes to comfort foods like pizza. But recipes like this prove that we don’t have to give up the foods we love.

These bites check all the boxes:

• Tasty ✔️
• Quick ✔️
• Portable ✔️
• Keto-approved ✔️

They’re perfect for family movie nights, game days, or even quick office snacks. And the best part? No one will guess they’re low-carb. Even our non-keto friends will be asking for seconds.

If we want to switch things up, here are a few fun twists:

• Garlic Parmesan Bites: Add extra garlic powder and top with grated parmesan.
• Spicy Jalapeño: Mix in a few chopped jalapeños or hot pepper flakes.
• Mushroom Lovers: Add finely diced sautéed mushrooms under the cheese.
• Bacon Deluxe: Replace pepperoni with crispy bacon bits for a smoky kick.
• Four-Cheese Dream: Use mozzarella, cheddar, provolone, and parmesan for an extra-cheesy bite.

The possibilities are endless — we can get as creative as we want while keeping it keto-friendly.

When it comes to satisfying low-carb cravings, these Keto Pepperoni Pizza Bites hit every note. They’re crispy on the outside, cheesy on the inside, and bursting with pizza flavor. Best of all, they’re ready in no time — perfect for busy weeknights or lazy weekends.
