Crispy Keto Cheese-Crust Pepperoni Pizza
Ditch the dough and go straight to the best part: CHEESE.
This crust bakes into a golden, crunchy, savory base that holds toppings like a champ—no flour, no carbs, no guilt.
Ingredients (2–3 servings)
For the cheese crust
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella
- ½ cup grated parmesan
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
Toppings
- 2–3 tbsp low-carb pizza sauce (don’t overdo it)
- 12–15 pepperoni slices
- Extra mozzarella (optional)
- Chili flakes or oregano (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C / 400°F.
- Line a tray with parchment paper.
- Mix mozzarella, parmesan, and Italian seasoning.
- Pour onto the tray and spread into a thin circle (about 20–22 cm / 8–9 in).
- Bake 8–10 minutes until deep golden and bubbling.
- Remove, let sit 2 minutes (it firms up).
- Add a thin layer of sauce, pepperoni, and a little extra cheese.
- Return to oven 5–7 minutes until toppings melt.
- Cool 3–5 minutes, slice, and enjoy the crunch.
Tips for Maximum Crunch
- Spread thin—thickness kills crisp.
- Bake crust until dark golden, not pale.
- Use very little sauce to avoid sogginess.
- Let it cool briefly before slicing.
Flavor Twists
- Add olives and mushrooms
- Swap pepperoni for cooked sausage
- Finish with fresh basil after baking
