A delicious low carb pizza casserole that will be enjoyed by all. The gluten free crust uses a simple mix of eggs, cheese, and cream so no special ingredients are needed.
Who doesn’t love an easy, low carb casserole for dinner? Or pizza? Or low carb pizza casserole? Really, that’s the best of both worlds.
Especially if it’s super easy to make.
This isn’t a deep layered dish with pizza toppings; it’s actually a pizza in a casserole dish. Thick, gooey, topped with all your favorite keto friendly pizza toppings…mmm.
There are lots of easy keto pizza crusts out there: cauliflower crust, coconut flour pizza crust, and deep dish pan pizza are some of the most popular. While these are all perfectly tasty and popular with good reason, they all require melting, kneading, and rolling out.
But this one is like none of those other keto recipes; it’s unique and so delicious that you’ll want to bake this yummy dish often. The flavor is so good that even the pickiest eaters in your family will be asking for seconds!
This is also going to be the easiest keto pizza crust you’ve ever whipped up!
Ingredients In Low Carb Pizza Casserole
- Cream cheese
- Large eggs
- Heavy cream
- Grated parmesan cheese
- Minced garlic
- Dried oregano
- Parmesan, Asiago or Romano cheese (any combination can be used)
- Mozzarella cheese
- Low carb pizza sauce
- Pizza toppings (whatever you choose!)
The crust layer is made in the food processor with a mix of eggs, cream, and a variety of cheeses along with a little garlic and dried oregano seasonings. Doesn’t that sound amazing?
Because the mixture for the gluten free crust is thin and the baking pan needs to contain the liquid, this must be made in a casserole dish. The sides keep everything on the pizza (or in the casserole, as it were) and -trust me- you don’t want to try this on a pan.
I used a 9×13 casserole pan, but the recipe could easily be doubled to fit into an 18×26 jelly roll pan for a party sized sheet pizza. You could even make this in your favorite cast iron skillet; you just need the sides to support the dough and hold in the sauce and toppings and the rest is easy.
This cheesy dough has such a rich and satisfying flavor to it that you may even find you prefer it to the popular Fat Head dough that so many keto followers rave about.
How To Make Keto Pizza Casserole
The best part about this gluten free casserole is how much easier it is to make than most low carb pizza dishes. Why? There’s absolutely no need to roll out the dough with this recipe!
Plus, it’s made with regular everyday ingredients. That’s always nice; all too often with keto pizza crusts you need to buy expensive low carb flour or other special ingredients.
The pizza crust used in this recipe is really just a super cheesy omelette. But, with the sauce and toppings added, no one has been able to tell it’s an egg based crust.
Although the other low carb pizza dough recipes are also great, I always go back to this super easy pizza casserole recipe. Why? Because it’s the easiest to make…and the dough has a rich flavor that is second to none. It’s one of our family’s favorite low carb recipes; the kids loved it!
All you do is sprinkle a layer of cheese across the bottom of your baking dish, top it with the egg mixture you blended in your food processor, and bake the low carb “crust.” Once it’s cooked, take it out and build the rest of your pizza.
Simply add your sauce, any toppings, and a final layer of mozzarella cheese to finish off your low carb pizza casserole. Broil until the cheese is bubby and serve!
Crazy easy, right? That’s the beauty of this easy pizza casserole.
What If I Have An Egg Sensitivity?
If you have any sensitivity to eggs, this isn’t going to be the best recipe for you, but you can still use the rest of the casserole recipe and use an allergen friendly foundation like this delicious egg-free Fat Head dough.
You can still enjoy the spicy sauce, savory toppings, and melty cheese that make pizza casseroles so enjoyable that way. The egg free dough requires a little more work than this particular low carb pizza casserole dough, but it’s worth it if you’ve got an egg sensitivity!
Pizza Casserole Variations
One way to customize this easy low carb casserole dinner is to use different cheeses and toppings. You will want to keep the mozzarella as it gives the crust a good texture, but the others can be adjusted.
A loaded meat pizza casserole topped with chopped up low carb meatballs, pepperoni, chicken, ground beef, and sausage is a traditionally popular choice and very filling.
You could also top it with vegetables: zucchini, mushrooms, olives, peppers, garlic, and spinach are always good with anything pizza.
Garlic, mushrooms, and bleu cheese are another great combination. Or a Caprese pizza casserole topped with fresh basil, tomato slices, and some ricotta and mozzarella. You could even drizzle it with fresh pesto if you have some handy! Margherita style with some oregano and tomato and light cheese on top is also yummy.
Try a Philly-inspired low carb pizza casserole by topping it with peppers, mushrooms, a few onions, and some shaved steak. Or sausage and peppers for a Bronx-inspired flavor.
You can also change up the sauce and turn this basic recipe into a gourmet keto low carb white pizza topped with spinach, bacon, blue cheese, and sliced tomatoes. Roasted garlic would also be yummy on that!
And classic pepperoni is always a winner.
There’s really endless ways to customize this sugar free, low carb pizza casserole recipe; which one will you try first? The keto diet is so delicious!

Really good and very easy to make
Vennessa
This is by far one of my new favorites! I had my doubts about the crust, but made it anyway! I am so very glad I did! This dish was delicious! My husband, who is a pizza freak, asked me to make it again tomorrow! Definitely worth the time to make it! Don’t pass this one by!
Sharon Cumming
This is my favorite keto pizza recipe. It’s super easy, the crust is firm enough to pick up if you want, but using a knife and fork works well too. I make ours a supreme by adding onions, peppers, olives, pepperoni and Italian sausage. I cook the sausage, and lightly saute the onions and peppers since the final cooking stage is the broiler. I also add more mozzarella and more Parmesan on top to finish off the pizza before putting it in the oven. Delish!
Jennifer
I’m doing Keto right now so every few dinners I make a whole Keto dinner so I can eat everything with my family (let them suffer with mama for once lol). I made this last night and this was such a winner with my husband & 6 yo daughter! My husband couldn’t believe there wasn’t any grain/flour in the crust! I had to tell him the ingredients lol Said it was so good he had to get a beer to drink with it lol This is a huge win for me – I loved it and it will now be in my dinner rotation for pizza (since they said they want me to make it again) So easy to make with my low carb homemade pizza sauce and top with pepperoni. I am adding Italian sausage next time for sure now that I know the recipe is legit. I’m probably going to have some in the fridge at all times to snack on as well. I just ate a small piece cold for lunch today and hot damn, if it doesn’t taste just like cold pizza! I’ll be trying more recipes from this site now for sure. Thank you!
Lisa MarcAurele
I agree. My family says this recipe is just like a sheet pizza. I like to make it in a sheet pan for a thin crust that goes a lot farther. The keto white pizza version shows how I do that.
Jennifer
Great idea – I’ll check it out!
Kim boring
Can you substitute coconut cream for the heavy cream?
Lisa MarcAurele
I haven’t tried it as a replacement in this recipe, but using coconut cream in other recipes has worked well in place of heavy cream.
Pam Cross
I went on keto about a month ago and was distraught thinking that it might be a long time until I could have pizza agaIn. And then I found this recipe. At first bite, I thought I was in heaven. I will make this again and again. Thank you for this gift. It is fantastic.
Becky
VERY good!!! This is probably the easiest pizza you’ll ever make from scratch. I’ll definitely make this again! I used my 11×16 bar pan to make the crust thinner. I also used a whisk for the egg mixture instead of a food processor or blender. I softened the cream cheese, whisked it so it was smooth, added the eggs, whisked again until smooth and creamy, added the rest of the ingredients and whisked a final time. Worked perfect. No lumps of cream cheese. The crust does not get crispy but it is firm enough that you can hold the pizza to eat it. If you’re looking for a quick and easy recipe to satisfy your pizza craving, give this one a try! ~ Becky
Lisa MarcAurele
Thanks for sharing your process for making the pizza casserole Becky!
Michele
Could I just mix everything up in a blender if i don’t have a food processor?
Lisa MarcAurele
A blender or hand mixer and bowl both work too.
Ana Diaz
Delicious ,taste like real pizza
Even my husband love it.
Math Nerd
This is delicious and tastes like real pizza! My kids loved helping me make it!
Sandra K West
Excellent!
Kelly
This sounds great, but I am wondering if you could freeze it and have it for a quick week day meal. If preparing a week or two ahead of time. Could one cook the crust, and then thaw out and put topping on
Lisa MarcAurele
You can freeze the casserole pieces to thaw and reheat later. You can also freeze the crust to make it later as well.
Rebec
Make this all the time using leftover meatballs, marinara sauce, sautéed peppers & onions. My husband is a pizza fanatic & this fits the bill.
Andrea
My absolute favorite pizza recipe! Pizza without the guilt!
Jim Sharich
The Family loved this one – asked for it again. was quick and easy – big hit!
LadyJ
I decided to make only half a recipe of this since it’s just me and my honey. BIG MISTAKE!!! This is soooo good I wish I had made more so I could have leftovers. Wow this is amazing! It is a little different take on pizza but I am all about anything pizza. Very quick and easy to put together and so much flavor. Thank you for an AWESOME recipe = ) And take my word for it – make the whole recipe, you won’t regret it.
Andrea
I make double every time! It’s that good!
Sara Babaie
Loved it and so did the rest of the family, put onions and cherry tomatoes on it. Just one thing are the calories per 8th as you say serves 8 ?
Lisa MarcAurele
The nutritional data is per slice when cut into 8 pieces.

I’ve tried multiple recipes for “keto” type pizza for over a year since being on keto. Haven’t been able to find anything I like so I was skeptical of this – Very! Who would ever think of eggs and cream cheese being a good pizza dough. I don’t like the cauliflower crust pizza at all even though I love cauliflower.
This pizza is AMAZING! Making it again this week. The entire family eats it and enjoys it. I did alter a couple of things. I made bacon and then sautéed onions, garlic and mushrooms. I added all of those ingredients as well as taking some of the oils from sautéed foods and brushed the oils on the pizza “dough”. This will be a staple at the dinner table. It’s great as leftovers as well.
