Let’s be honest — who doesn’t crave a good pizza once in a while? ? But if we’re trying to cut down on carbs, pizza is usually one of the first things to go. What if we told you that you could enjoy a crispy, flavorful crust without a single carb? Yes, really! The secret? Chicken.

In this post, we’ll walk through exactly how to make a zero carb chicken pizza crust, why it works so well, and a few creative topping ideas to take your homemade pizza night to the next level.

Get ready — this one’s going to be a keeper.

When we first heard about a chicken-based crust, we were skeptical. How can chicken possibly replace dough? But once we tried it, we were amazed. The texture, the crispiness, and the flavor — everything just works.

Here’s why it’s so genius:

• High in protein, zero carbs: Chicken is naturally carb-free, which makes it a dream ingredient for keto or low-carb diets.
• It binds together beautifully: When mixed with a bit of cheese and egg, it holds its shape just like dough.
• Crisps up perfectly: With the right baking technique, it forms a golden, firm base that can hold all your favorite toppings.

Unlike almond flour or cauliflower crusts (which can get soggy), a chicken crust stays firm and satisfying. No knife and fork needed — you can actually pick it up!

You only need a handful of ingredients for this recipe. Most of them you probably already have in your fridge:

• 1 pound (450 g) ground chicken – You can use ground turkey or shredded cooked chicken as an alternative.
• 1 large egg – Helps bind the crust together.
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese – Adds flavor and structure.
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Optional: A pinch of Italian seasoning or chili flakes for extra flavor.

That’s it — six or seven simple ingredients, and you’re ready to go.

This recipe couldn’t be simpler. It takes about 25 minutes total, and the results are amazing every time.

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper. This step is really important — the parchment prevents sticking and helps the crust crisp up nicely.

In a large bowl, combine:

• Ground chicken
• Egg
• Mozzarella
• Garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper

Mix it all with your hands or a spatula until well combined. It should look like a thick, sticky dough. Don’t worry — that’s exactly what you want.

Place the mixture onto your prepared baking sheet.
Using your hands (or a spatula), flatten it into a round or rectangle, about ¼ inch (0.5 cm) thick. The thinner you make it, the crispier it will be — but don’t go too thin, or it may fall apart.

Pro tip: Lightly oil your hands before shaping. It makes the job much easier and prevents sticking.

Bake the crust for 15–20 minutes, or until it’s golden brown and firm to the touch.
You’ll notice some moisture release from the chicken — that’s totally normal. Just drain any excess liquid before adding your toppings.

Once the crust is baked, the fun begins! Add your favorite low-carb pizza toppings, such as:

• Sugar-free tomato sauce or a homemade marinara
• Mozzarella or provolone cheese
• Pepperoni, cooked sausage, or grilled vegetables

Pop it back in the oven for 5–8 minutes, just until the cheese melts and bubbles.
If you like a crispier finish, switch to broil for the last minute — but keep an eye on it!

When it comes out of the oven, let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing. This helps the crust firm up even more. The result? A delicious, handheld slice that tastes shockingly close to regular pizza — without the carbs or guilt.

We’ve made this recipe dozens of times, and a few little tricks make all the difference.

✅ Use parchment paper — always.

Skipping it is the fastest way to end up with a stuck crust. Trust us on this one.

✅ Drain any excess liquid halfway through baking.

If you notice moisture around the edges, carefully pour it off or dab it with paper towels.

✅ Season it well.

Chicken is mild, so don’t be afraid to add a little garlic, oregano, or even parmesan for flavor.

✅ Let it cool before slicing.

Just a few minutes makes the crust firmer and easier to handle.

One of the best parts about this crust is how versatile it is. You can go classic, spicy, or even gourmet. Here are a few of our favorites:

• Classic Margherita: Tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, basil, and a drizzle of olive oil.
• BBQ Chicken: Sugar-free BBQ sauce, shredded chicken, red onion, and smoked gouda.
• Buffalo Style: Buffalo sauce, shredded chicken, blue cheese crumbles, and chopped celery.
• Mediterranean: Tomato, olives, feta, and a sprinkle of oregano.
• Breakfast Pizza: Scrambled eggs, bacon, cheddar, and green onions.

Honestly, you can experiment endlessly. Once you master the crust, everything else is just creativity.

You might be wondering — why not just make a cauliflower or almond flour crust instead? Here’s the breakdown:

So if your goal is zero carbs and maximum satisfaction, the chicken crust wins hands down.

Depending on your toppings, here’s roughly what you can expect for a plain chicken crust pizza (without sauce or cheese on top):

If you’ve made extra or have leftovers (which, honestly, is rare), you can store them easily.

• In the fridge: Up to 3 days, in an airtight container.
• In the freezer: Up to 2 months, either whole or sliced.
• To reheat: Pop it in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes until it crisps up again. Avoid the microwave — it makes the crust soft.

We’ve tried countless “healthy pizza” recipes, but this one stands out. It’s fast, foolproof, and unbelievably satisfying. You can make it on a busy weeknight and still feel like you’re treating yourself.

The best part? It fits right into any low-carb, keto, or high-protein diet — and even the non-dieters in the family will love it. It’s the kind of recipe that makes you forget you’re eating “healthy.”
