Thin Crust Low Carb Pizza

Keto Lunch Recipes > Keto Lunch Recipes

Ketogenic Pizza, Low Carbohydrate Pizza, Healthy Pizza, Low-Calorie Pizza! – whatever name you give it, this perfect substitution for regular pizza is sure to be a hit. It hits most of the same notes as a regular pizza if you are comparing it to a thin crust that is.

The star of this recipe is definitely the crust base, the Joseph’s Low-Carb Pita Bread

Very similar mouth feel and at a fraction of the guilt. Also one of my go to recipes just like the Cauliflower Fried Rice because you can top it with literally anything in your fridge and pantry. Versatility is always a must because you never know what little bits and bobs you will have sitting around ready to expire.

Yields 1 serving of Thin Crust Low Carb Pizza

The Preparation

  • 1 whole low-carb pita bread, like Joseph's
  • 2 tablespoons low-carb tomato sauce, like rao's

  • 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Protip: Turn the broiler on the get the cheese nice and bubbly and a good char around the edges.
Protip #2:  If you decide to broil it towards the end – KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON YOUR PIZZA – even 15 seconds can make the difference between perfectly crispy pizza and a charred burned cracker.
