Keto Crustless Pizza is a super easy low-carb take on traditional pizza that skips the dough and is just the good stuff: toppings of cheese, seasoning, and sauce. Rather than spread to a crust, pizza ingredients are layered in a skillet (or a baking dish). We start with sugar-free pizza sauce, cover it with mozzarella, and add meats and vegetables. The result is a bubbly, golden dish that provides all the satisfaction of pizza minus the carbs of the bread.
This recipe is so easily versatile and can be tailored to everyone’s liking! You can top it with favorites such as pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, spinach, olives or peppers. And because it skips the crust, it’s gluten-free by nature, crazy low in carbs, and high in protein and healthy fats — which means it’s totally in line with keto macros.
Crustless pizza also comes together quickly, arriving on the table in less than 20 minutes and making for a perfect dinner any night of the week or for meal prep. It can be prepared, shared, and cooked casserole style or dished out into simple little ramekins and served individually. Some renditions even make use of a cast-iron skillet for more flavor and crisper edges.
Even better, this low-carb crustless pizza is also delicious, filling, and guilt-free, so you can enjoy pizza night without the guilt and still stay on track with your keto diet.
