Here’s a delicious low-carb sheet pan pizza recipe—crispy, cheesy, and packed with flavor, all without the heavy carbs of traditional dough.
Low-Carb Sheet Pan Pizza
Ingredients
For the Crust
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 oz cream cheese
- ¾ cup almond flour (or coconut flour, see notes)
- 1 large egg
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- Pinch of salt
For the Toppings
- ½ cup low-sugar pizza sauce or marinara
- 1–2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Toppings of choice: pepperoni, sausage, bell peppers, mushrooms, olives, spinach, etc.
- Optional: fresh basil, crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
1. Preheat oven
- Preheat to 425°F (220°C).
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Make the crust
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave 45–60 seconds, stirring halfway, until melted and smooth.
- Mix in almond flour, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt. Stir until a dough forms.
- Place dough on prepared sheet pan and press into a rectangle or circle about ¼-inch thick.
3. Pre-bake crust
- Bake 8–10 minutes, until lightly golden. This prevents a soggy pizza.
4. Add toppings
- Spread pizza sauce evenly over crust.
- Sprinkle cheese and arrange desired toppings.
5. Bake again
- Bake 7–10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Serve
- Slice and serve hot. Garnish with fresh basil or red pepper flakes if desired.
Tips
- Crispier crust: Use a pizza stone or bake on foil directly on oven rack.
- Cheese choice: Mozzarella is best for stretch; add a little Parmesan for extra flavor.
- Make it thinner: Press dough thinner for a crispier base.
Variations
- Buffalo chicken: Use cooked shredded chicken + buffalo sauce + blue cheese
- Vegetarian: Load with peppers, mushrooms, olives, and spinach
- Meat lover: Pepperoni, sausage, bacon
If you want, I can also give a keto-friendly cauliflower sheet pan pizza version, which is lighter and super low carb.
