Crispy Keto Cheese-Crust Pepperoni Pizza

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

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C / 400°F.
  2. Line a tray with parchment paper.
  3. Mix mozzarella, parmesan, and Italian seasoning.
  4. Pour onto the tray and spread into a thin circle (about 20–22 cm / 8–9 in).
  5. Bake 8–10 minutes until deep golden and bubbling.
  6. Remove, let sit 2 minutes (it firms up).
  7. Add a thin layer of sauce, pepperoni, and a little extra cheese.
  8. Return to oven 5–7 minutes until toppings melt.
  9. 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
