When we crave pizza, it’s not just about the toppings or the cheese — it’s about that perfect crust. But when we’re living the keto life, traditional dough made with wheat flour is a total no-go. That’s where ketolicious pizza crust comes in. It’s low-carb, easy to make, and absolutely satisfying — no compromise on flavor or texture.

In this post, we’ll walk through everything you need to know: from the best ingredients to the step-by-step process, plus a few pro tips for making your keto pizza taste like a slice of heaven.

Let’s be honest — most “diet-friendly” pizza crusts taste like cardboard. They’re either too dry, too chewy, or just fall apart when you try to pick them up.
But this one? Totally different.

A ketolicious crust hits the sweet spot:

• Crispy on the edges
• Soft in the middle
• Full of cheesy flavor
• And low in carbs — less than 3 grams per slice!

It’s perfect for anyone on a keto, low-carb, or gluten-free diet who refuses to give up pizza night.

The secret is in the combination of ingredients. Instead of using traditional flour, we’ll rely on almond flour, mozzarella cheese, and cream cheese to create a rich, chewy dough that feels surprisingly authentic.

Here’s what makes it so special:

• Almond flour gives it structure and a mild nutty flavor.
• Mozzarella binds everything together and creates that signature stretchiness.
• Cream cheese adds moisture and richness, preventing the crust from drying out.
• Eggs hold it all together for a crisp yet tender texture.

The result? A keto-friendly crust that feels like real pizza dough, not a substitute.

Here’s your shopping list for one 12-inch pizza crust:

• 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tbsp cream cheese
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 large egg
• ½ tsp baking powder (optional, for extra fluff)
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp garlic powder (for flavor)
• ¼ tsp oregano (optional but highly recommended)

Optional add-ons:

• A pinch of Parmesan for a sharper flavor
• ½ tsp Italian seasoning for extra aroma

Making this crust takes less than 20 minutes from start to finish. No kneading, no yeast, no long wait times. Just mix, melt, and bake.

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella and cream cheese.
Microwave for about 60–90 seconds, stirring halfway through until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.

Pro tip: If you don’t have a microwave, you can melt the cheeses over low heat in a small saucepan.

In a separate bowl, whisk together:

• Almond flour
• Salt
• Garlic powder
• Baking powder
• Oregano

Once mixed, add this to your melted cheese mixture.

Crack in one egg, and use a spoon or your hands to combine everything into a smooth dough.
If it’s too sticky, chill it for 5–10 minutes. You can also dust your hands with a bit of almond flour to make it easier to handle.

Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to your desired thickness.
We recommend about ¼ inch thick — thin enough to get crispy, but not so thin that it breaks.

Remove the top layer of parchment and poke the crust a few times with a fork to prevent bubbles.

Transfer the crust (with the bottom parchment) to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 8–10 minutes, until it’s lightly golden and firm.

This step is key!
It ensures your crust doesn’t get soggy once you add the toppings.

Now comes the fun part — topping your masterpiece!

Add your favorite keto-friendly sauce, like a sugar-free marinara, and sprinkle on more cheese, pepperoni, or veggies.
Return to the oven for another 5–7 minutes, until everything is melted and bubbly.

Getting the texture just right takes a little tweaking. Here’s how to adjust it based on your preferences:

• Want it crispier? Roll it thinner and bake a few minutes longer before adding toppings.
• Want it softer? Leave it slightly thicker and bake for a shorter time.
• For a breadier feel, add ½ teaspoon of baking powder and let the dough rest for 10 minutes before baking.

Once you’ve nailed the base recipe, it’s easy to customize your crust!

• Cheesy crust: Mix shredded cheddar or Parmesan into the dough.
• Herb crust: Add fresh basil, rosemary, or Italian seasoning.
• Spicy crust: Mix in a pinch of chili flakes or cayenne pepper.
• Savory twist: Use bacon fat instead of cream cheese for a smoky flavor.

The best part? Each variation still keeps it keto-friendly and low-carb.

Yes, you can totally meal-prep this crust!

• Fridge: Store baked crust in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Freezer: Freeze uncooked or pre-baked crusts between parchment sheets for up to 2 months.
• Reheat: Bake directly from frozen at 400°F for 8–10 minutes, or until crispy again.

No need to say goodbye to leftovers — they reheat beautifully.

That’s pizza you can actually enjoy guilt-free.

We’ve all tried the cauliflower pizza craze, right? It’s healthy, yes — but it’s also watery, crumbly, and way too much effort. Cloud bread, on the other hand, is light but doesn’t hold toppings well.

The ketolicious pizza crust strikes the perfect balance. It’s strong enough to hold everything from pepperoni to mushrooms without getting soggy. And it has a satisfying bite that cauliflower crusts just can’t match.

If you want to keep your pizza 100% keto-approved, here are some topping ideas that won’t mess with your macros:

• Sugar-free marinara sauce
• Fresh mozzarella or shredded cheese blend
• Pepperoni or Italian sausage
• Mushrooms, bell peppers, and olives
• Spinach and feta combo
• Grilled chicken with garlic butter drizzle

Remember: skip the sugary sauces and stick with high-fat, low-carb ingredients.

Keto Pizza Night Made Easy…

We all deserve a good pizza night — even on keto.

So next time that pizza craving hits, skip the takeout app and grab your almond flour instead.
You’ll be amazed at how simple ingredients can turn into something this delicious.
