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.
Article Index
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!
Recipe Ingredients
- 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.
Recipe Instructions
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.
The Egg-Free Option
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!
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 some of my favorite low carb 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!

Made this tonight. It was sooooo good! As close as you can get to the high carb flour crust pizzas as it gets! I’ve tried other low carb pizza recipes and they’ve all been runny/juicy. Not this one! Definitely will be making again. I put fresh sausage, pepperoni and mushroom on ours. Used Rao’s Margherita pizza sauce. Would have liked to add onions and peppers but my husband isn’t a fan.
Pam Cramer
I made this casserole last nite and it was excellent. I would definitely make this again. I am sending some of this to my daughter and grandson who need it to be gluten free.
JoyceK
OK what kind of magic did you create here? This is AWESOME!!! I have had just about every conceivable GF Keto pizza out there and this hands down is THE BEST!!! Not only does it taste great but it's easy too. I love the cheese *base* that gets all nice and crispy around the edges. I made it as written but I would like to try some variations, including your suggestion of some shredded squash in the base. My Hubby declared it THE. BEST. PIZZA. EVER. Will definitely be making this one frequently.
Jennifer S
I've made every conceivable keto pizza out there (chicken crust, fathead dough, pork rind, coconut flour, almond flour, etc., etc.,), but this one is my favorite. It's simplistic and doesn't require a hundred mixing and rolling of dough steps. It spreads easily. When all cooked up, it's delish and doesn't feel eggy to me because all of the layers meld together beautifully. It reminded me in a comforting way of lunchlady pizza, although with much better texture and flavor. I multiplied the recipe by 1.5 servings and sprayed a large silicone-lined jellyroll pan and spread the "dough" over that to make a larger version so we could have lots of leftovers.
The ingredients are rich, so unlike some of the other pizzas I've made such as chicken crust, 2 or 3 small squares is more than enough. I topped mine with a thin layer of SF tomato basil spaghetti sauce, lices of provolone, a little fresh motz, and a little shredded parm, with a light layer of freshly diced tomatoes and drizzled it with a basil garlic oil that the fresh motz was packed in, and MMmmMMmmMMmm... My toddler was pretty obsessed too. I had a cold slice the next morning for breakfast as well which was great. Thanks for this keeper of a recipe.
Susan
Made this for lunch today, half recipe because I’m pretty sure this crust wouldn’t freeze well. I made the mistake of using my hand mixer, and it just didn’t get the cream cheese well, so in the future I would use my high speed blender for mixing the crust. I totally improvised the toppings - Italian sausage, white sauce, poblano pepper and mozzarella. I baked the crust in a Pyrex dish, which is not broiler safe, but I found that 10 minutes at 350ºF worked well to finish the toppings off. Definitely a keeper recipe that my husband and I both enjoyed.
Megan
How many servings? By the way, very very good!
Susan
Since there are only two of us, I’m wondering if the leftovers of this casserole could be frozen (I’m thinking probably not, due to how eggy the crust is.) Thanks! Reading the variations gave me the idea of doing a Mexican version with green enchilada sauce, chorizo, roasted poblano peppers and Mexican blend cheese, with Cotija cheese sprinkled over the top…
Sheri
This was so delicious, and my 11 year old grandson absolutely devoured it! I made it twice in one week, it is that good, and so easy too! Thank you for all you do for the low carb community!
Michelle
Made this tonight! Delicious! I have to eat GF because I have celiac. Always a blessing when I can find GF recipes that the whole family likes! I will be adding this recipe to our rotations. Thank you very much for sharing!
Jennifer
Super yummy and so easy! Will definitely be added to the meal rotation!
Todd
For the grated Parmesan is the the powder kind?
Joyce K
This was really, really good and so quick and easy to throw together on a busy week night. I did as someone else suggested and baked the 'crust' part at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes then added the toppings and broiled until the cheese was bubbly and just starting to brown. SOOOOO GOOOD!!!!! I was hoping to having some leftovers for lunch but that didn't happen! Everyone gobbled it all up.
Jodi
I followed the recipe although eggs tend to give me that yuk feeling if too much. They were perfect. The crust was enough to make us feel like we were treating ourselves to pizza! I made it w/all the goodies on a supreme. We have enough for another dinner and will make it again soon. A favorite for me. Thank you!!!
Evelyn
Tried this tonight and it was delicious. Only thing I wish the crust were a little crispier but I did see a comment above that someone increased the heat for a crispier crust. I will definitely try that next time. Delicious as is and will definitely make again.
Dwayne
This is a really good recipe. It ticks the box for pizza without all the carbs. Give it a try.
Mick
I really love this pizza, I make it every Saturday and everyone who eats it loves it
Michele
Lisa! We finally made this tonight! It was absolutely amazing! Thank you!
Linda Jenkins
Enjoy you videos and your Receipes. It has helped me tremendously on this new way of eating! Thank you!
Debbie
Will half and half work instead of heavy cream?
Lisa MarcAurele
It should for this recipe but it has more carbs than heavy cream.
Sherry
Can you freeze leftovers? If so for how long?
Lisa MarcAurele
Leftovers keep in the freezer for at least 3 months.
Michelle
This turned out absolutely phenomenal and put it in the lineup for our family dinners and I know I will wow them with this when we have a get together with friends who have no clue. I topped with onions, black olives and mushrooms as well as pepperoni. Can't wait to make again with sausage!! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your recipes ????❤☺
Jen
I love this recipe. Satisfies my craving for pizza. I don't feel like I'm missing out. I made one tweak and that is to cook the base at 400 instead of 350. Allows the cheese on the bottom to crisp up and give a little crunch!
Lisa MarcAurele
Great tip! Thanks for sharing!
Rhonda Stariha
Love this, super fast, easy and SO yummy!
Susan normansell
Can you freeze this recipe once you’ve baked it?
Lisa MarcAurele
The baked pizza can be frozen to thaw and reheat later.
Kelly
I wonder if I could do a dairy free version of this recipe, any suggestions of replacement ingredients.
Lisa MarcAurele
I would use dairy-free cheese and the dairy-free heavy cream replacement by Silk. I always look for the non-dairy cheese with the fewest carbs.
Jackie
We have just made a similar recipe from your 5 ingredient cookbook, the single size breakfast pizza, it is delicious, but says calories 131. This appears to be incorrect - nearer to 400 I think when comparing to other similar recipe macros.
Many thanks though, just wanted to let you know.
magsfrost@zippy-uk.com
If you've got an egg sensitivity,. Use flax or chia seeds soaked in water. You get a gel, like egg white.
Mary
This was amazing! I’ll definitely made it again. My friend never guessed egg crust. Very good; thank you
Cindy
How many servings is in the recipe?
Lisa MarcAurele
Each slice is a serving for the nutritional data so it's eight servings.
Arielle
This was seriously amazing! I was skeptical about the crust, but it exceeded my expectations and I can’t wait to make it again. Thank you for this fantastic recipe!
Steve Burn
I have just made this low carb/keto pizza. It tasted fantastic, I also gave some to my brother in law (who owns a pizza/kebab shop) he said it tasted amazing and never realised the base was made from an egg mix.
Pamela
Loved it!!!
I added onion and peppers to mine and used turkey pepperoni! So good! And filling! ????????
Debbie
Quick, easy, and yummy! Perfect combination! Family loved it. Definitely part of our regular rotation from now on.
Barb J
Our favorite homemade pizza! Gluten-free for my husband and low carb for me! Family members without diet restrictions love it too!
Donna M
Delicious pizza meal! The entire family ate it, we had zero leftovers. Next time I will double it or make 2 at the same time. We added our personal favorite toppings, onions, green peppers, sausage. This is a keeper and definitely going into the rotation!
Scott
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 11x16 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.
Kristie
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.
chandra
This was awesome! I will definitely make this pizza again. I gave you a shout-out tonight on the Aldi Nerd Facebook group with a link to your site! ☀️????????
Lisa MarcAurele
Thanks for the shout out!
Sheri
Am I missing something here? Why does the recipe call for a 1/4C of parmesan and 1C parmesan? What is the 1/4C for? BTW, love this recipe. I've made it several times.
Lisa MarcAurele
It's because the 1/4 is used in step 2 and the 1C is used in step 3 (which was originally written as Asiago and corrected back to that).
heather
This was very yummy!
The only thing I don't like is (with any pizza) when it is reheated the crust is soggy. With Reg pizza I would put it in the over to reheat, I could try that with this one too.
Karen
I don’t have any heavy whipping cream and can’t go to the store to get some. Should I add some water or just omit it?
Lisa MarcAurele
You could add in canned coconut milk or almond milk but since they are thinner, it may need a little thickener like xanthan gum or coconut flour.
Luke
We loved this the first time we made it, but this time my helper accidentally stirred up the crust will let you know how that turns out lol
Lisa MarcAurele
Stirring the crust should be fine.
Kelli
We have made this several times. It is awesome!!!
Eda
My husband and I loved it, beatriz regards from DR
Sandra Porter
This was amazing! Mr even loved it. I was very surprised how easy it was to make. I made my egg mixture in my bullet. Could not have been easier. And did not taste like eggs!!!! Texture was great!
Can the crust be baked and frozen?
Lisa MarcAurele
You can definitely bake the crust in advance and freeze. Then just add the toppings and bake. I like to finish with the broiler to brown the cheese.
Lis
Can you omit the cream cheese?
Lisa MarcAurele
You could, but it might taste a little more like egg.
Max
So, I was sooooo Excited to make this recipe. Once the pizza was done it turned into basically an egg soufflé. My wife and I were kind of disappointed.
Lisa MarcAurele
If you don't care for the thicker egg based crust, it's better to half the ingredients for a thinner crust or bake the full amount in a larger jelly-roll pan. You can also stretch out the servings if you bake it in the larger pan.
Cathy
I made first time for a potluck supper. Only the lucky ones got some. It’s a monthly supper so I am marketing two this time (by popular request). It’s easy to make and needless to say, a big hit. This is an over 55 group and I know some are doing keto, but for the most part, they just loved it.
Lin
I love this recipe, have made it a few times and find it quicker than making and having to roll out a fat head dough or caulicrust. Its on rotation for ease and taste!
Cath
I didn’t believe you when you said it was better and easier than the fat head pizza dough. I was so wrong! It’s so good!
It really hits that pizza craving well. I’ve tried every low carb recipe but you’ve nailed it for me thank you! I added some cooked onion and capsicum and finely sliced mushrooms and anchovy’s. It was even better the next day as the flavours matured
Susan Bass
I pre ordered the 5 ingredient keto cookbook from Amazon.
What do i need to do to get the 45 extra recipes?
I love the pizza casserole, we prefer it over crust pizza!

Lisa Scott
Hi Lisa,
I am 53 and in full blown mean pause. I have been eating keto for four weeks now and I have not yet went into ketosis. I even went as far for four days on a keto liquid diet, no luck. I have not even one pound, I exercise four to five times a week.Also, carbs have stayed under 20.
I am at wits end and super frustrated, do you have any suggestions?
Sincerely
Lisa S
Lisa MarcAurele
Hormonal imbalances can make it difficult to get into ketosis. So you may want to find a doctor that can work with you and get your hormone levels in balance. I've known some people who have had success with professionals who practice functional medicine.
Mary Aguilar
Agreed. I’m a 49 year old with induced menopause and my husbands cardiologist who practices functional medicine started him on keto (after diagnosing him with diabetes) and shortly thereafter I started keto myself. Doctor has helped with getting hormones balanced among other health benefits I’ve experienced such as relief of fibromyalgia I was diagnosed with a year back. I’ve been able to lose 55 lbs so far and I started August 2019. I’m a believer in functional medicine after learning more about it and, of course, after seeing health benefits we’ve experienced. I’ve still got weight to lose, but I know this is the best thing we’ve ever done to get healthy. I’ve also started reading a book called “The End of Alzheimer’s “ (my dad has this) and doctor that wrote also recommended functional medicine. It’s a different way of seeing your health and treating it.
Lisa MarcAurele
Alzheimer's runs in my family too (my uncle had it) and I've read there's a connection between it and eating sugar.
Dietmar Mayer
Hello from Hamburg/Germany!
That's really the best LC Pizza Recipe I ever cooking in two Years of LC Carriere 🙂 Thanks for it ... now you have a true Follower from Central Europe!
Cheers, Dietmar Mayer
Karen
Awesome recipe! Getting ready to make this a second time. Even my low-carb recipe picky husband loves it! Used pepperoni and bacon (baked for ease).
Deborah
What is the cholesterol count? Thank you! Looks yummy.
Lisa MarcAurele
It's shown as 143mg at the bottom of the recipe card.
Diane
I made two pizzas, each on a cookie sheet. I used more cheese on the bottom and top. I replaced the Parmesan cheese with an Italian 6 Blend cheese, as we prefer a milder flavor. I put pepperoni, Italian sausage, bacon, mushrooms, onion and pineapple on one and all that except the onions on the other. So good.
My son took done to work with him. He said it was even better cold.
This recipe is a keeper! Thank you!
Suzanne LaRue
Can’t wait to make this and share with my daughter due to gluten free! Thanks from Tennessee!
Cynthia Fowler
I’ve made every low-carb pizza crust known to man since going keto in 2015. This pizza is my family’s favorite—hands down! Absolute genius! Thick yet light, dreamy “crust” that whips up quickly and cooks like a dream. Add your own toppings and you have a homemade keto pizza that will satisfy your strongest pizza cravings! Thank you so much! OUTSTANDING!
Joseph Jakacki
Hi Lisa,
Sharon and I (Joe) love your pizza. If your ever in the thumb area of Michigan we shall love to make it for you and yours.
Lisa MarcAurele
I'd love to take a visit and taste your version of the pizza casserole!
Sheri
I am blown away! This is terrific! I miss pizza carbs more than anything but no more! Thanks for such a great recipe!
Lori G
Lisa, this recipe is absolutely delicious! My toppings were salami, green peppers and mushrooms. Cured all my pizza cravings! I'll will be making this again and again. Thank you so much!
Molly
Does your crust every get crispy? Mine was just so gooey still after 30 min. in the oven and I kept it in another 10 minutes, but it was still never got crispy.
Lisa MarcAurele
This is a soft crust not crispy. If you want crispy, you can use my almond flour pizza crust or one of my Fat Head style crusts.
Channa C
I took this to a work potluck and it was gone before everyone had a chance to taste it...anyone who did was asking for the recipe. I used hot sausage, pepperoni, green peppers, and onions for toppings as well as adding hit pepper flakes and Italian seasoning. It was a hit!! Thank you!
Kimmi
I love how easy and gluten friendly this recipe is and the family loves it! Thank you!
Ollie
Excellent recipe. I made this tonight and I might think I like it better than the fathead recipe. I loaded it with Italian-seasoned burger, pepperoni and cheese - and it was great! This recipe is definitely a keeper, thank you!
Karen
Excellent substitute for pizza...10 times more tasty than the several types of cauliflower pizza being sold in supermarkets. ...2 thumbs up ...will definitely make this again and try other toppings!
Pat
I can’t wait to try this! Thanks! Also how can I get your white sauce recipe for this pizza?
Lisa MarcAurele
It's in the white pizza recipe.
Cynthia
This is a delicious pizza! I used cooked hot sausage & cooked bacon as toppings. In my oven the crust darkened quickly. I left it in for the 30 minutes but checked it frequently from 20 minutes on. Thanks for the great recipe.
Carol
Loved it. My husband is very picky about his pizza. He liked it so much that he keeps asking when I am going to make it again
Sue
Anxious to try this recipe. It sounds really good.
Cp
Does the nutrition info that was given inlcude any type of toppings? wanting to add pepporonis
Lisa MarcAurele
The nutrition data doesn't include optional toppings as they vary.
Tee
Hi. Does it reheat well? Oven or microwave?
Lisa MarcAurele
It does reheat well and you can freeze the leftovers if needed. I prefer a low temp oven to reheat, but the microwave works fine if you're in a rush.
Erin
My family loves this recipe! They beg for pizza casserole. My question is has anyone successfully frozen this for eating at a later time? Did you cook the crust and then put everything on top to bake later? Just trying to freeze some meals before school starts back.
Lisa MarcAurele
I would bake the crust part first and then freeze with toppings to bake later. And I'd bake it frozen. However, I haven't tried it myself.
nancy
PIN button?
Lisa MarcAurele
There should be one at the top of the post and another in the recipe card.
Jennifer Parker
Is the heavy cream a must? I have 2% milk, everything but the cream I have on hand.
Lisa MarcAurele
It's best to use heavy cream, especially if you are low carb. But it the extra carbs don't bother you, you can use the 2% milk but I'd recommend using a little less since it's much thinner.
Ambre
Made this for my parents and we all loved it! On week two of the Keto Diet and I made a calzone with cauliflower crust and was not a fan but this one is a keeper!!!
Gracie
Can you freeze this?
Lisa MarcAurele
I don't see why you couldn't freeze this low carb pizza.
Ann
This was delicious. My non-keto family loved it and will definitely make it again.
Kimmi
I love how easy and gluten friendly this recipe is and it's a hit with the family!!!

Yummy. This is a new weekly dinner at our house. I added my toppings on top of the cheese so the meats would be crisp. Cannot believe how great this tasted.
Putte
The temperature does not change from F to C when I choose "metric" Why not?
Lisa MarcAurele
It's only ingredient measurements that change. You'll have to convert using an online calculator to change °F to °C.
Rita
I tried this recipe and actually love it. The only problem I have is that you can kind of taste the eggs. Overall, this is a great recipe. I added a little too much sauce and I put the pepperoni on the pizza before the last cup of cheese. Notes taken for my next one.
Yasmin
To remove the egg flavor, make sure to leave your eggs outside the fridge until they're room temperature (30-45min) and then use. (:
Lisa MarcAurele
Great tip! I've started noticing this helps with a lot of recipes so I put the eggs in a container of warm water to get them to room temperature faster.
Lori
I just made this and it was wonderful!!!! I cooked up some Italian sausage then added pepperoni and mushrooms for the topping portion. It was so so good!
Jen
This recipe is so delicious! It's our new favourite pizza replacement. I use 2 cups of mozzarella in the crust instead of 1 cup and 1 cup of the other cheese, as I like the crust to be fairly neutral vehicle for the toppings, and mozzarella has a less powerful flavour. Tonight's creation is home made sauce, roasted garlic, asparagus, sauteed mushrooms, salami with prosciutto and triple cream brie - yum!!
Vicki
Great recipe!! I would fix it even if I weren't eating low carb. Loved it!
Kelly
This dish was really good. Totally satisfied our pizza craving. I will be making this again!
Rosalyn
Wow. This is great! We sauteed 6 pieces of bacon till almost done then crumbled and did the same with 1/ 4 lb. breakfast sausage and several handfuls of sliced pepperoni and added for a few minutes under the broiler and then sprinkled the mozzarella over and ran under the broiler for another couple minutes. AMAZING
Lisa MarcAurele
Yum! Sounds like a perfect Meat Lover's pizza!
Hilary
I have nothing new to add, jsut ... This is to die for! It tastes just like the pizza I order out. Whenever I make a recipe that "tastes just like the original" (which I notice you are careful not to say) I try to grade it on its own merits, not those of the original recipe. This pizza, however, stacks up to Italian pizzeria pizza. The leftovers even taste exactly like leftover pizza. I really like the thickness of the "crust", I bet it can handle a stack of add-ons. I do miss that crisp "crunch" of a regular crust, however the flavor is right and that's more important.
This is the third or fourth recipe we've tried from this site and we've loved every one of them. Moving on to the Asian section for a few nights. Yum!
Thank you!!
Lisa MarcAurele
Thanks so much for writing in Hilary! I relied on this recipe a lot when I first started my low carb journey to curb those pizza cravings.
Melanie
After making the base, I realized I was out of tomato sauce. Converted it to mexican with salsa, sour cream, and avocado. Incredible!
Lisa MarcAurele
Sounds like a winner!
Theresa
I made this pizza for my husband and myself . This was Excellent. Thank you so much for sharing...
Lisa MarcAurele
My pleasure Theresa!
Rebecca
Where do you get low carb pizza sauce
Lisa MarcAurele
It's any pizza sauce without added sugar. Just check the label or make it yourself using a recipe similar to this one: https://lowcarbyum.com/homemade-sugar-free-pizza-sauce/
Sheila
This is so delish! My hubby and grandkids love it. Its a Winner!
Sarah
Starting a keto diet plan, so I made this for dinner tonight. It was awesome! I also like eggs and cheese, so it was a winner. Added onions and turkey pepperoni to mine. Easy to make, and I will defiantly prepare this again.
Lisa MarcAurele
This one is really popular for those just getting started, but it's also a favorite for those of us who have been low carbing for years.
Laura
I’m intrigued. I read another recipe just today that wasn’t keto (the flour would be replaced with almond flour to make it legal) and they loaded the toppings in with the pancake like batter. It makes me wonder if u can do the same with this. When it’s done u can cover with sauce and cheese and probably reduce the cooking time to save the “crust” from getting too over cooked. I make that observation because I’m the “kitchen sink” kind of person when I comes to my pizza. ? if I cooked the crust first, by the time all of my toppings were heated, the base might be rubber!
Lisa MarcAurele
The crust on this pizza is basically a high cheese omelette, but I don't find it eggy at all. It does need to be cooked first so the topping won't sink into the crust.
Mary
My family loved this recipe.
Candy Berg
Could I use milk instead of heavy cream?
Lisa MarcAurele
It's worth a try but I can't guarantee the results. But since it's similar to an omelette, it should work out okay.
Linda
It was out of this world delicious , we have not had pizza in 3 months and this pizza casserole hit the spot !!! ❤❤
Lisa MarcAurele
Yay! It always feels good to enjoy those high carb favorites in low carb versions.
Erika Barrett
This was delicious! Even my extremely picky boyfriend liked it. But it was still not even for my big family and they wanted more. Is it possible to double the amount to make it thickee? Would I have to cook it longer or would i just have to make two batches?
Lisa MarcAurele
If you take a look at my white pizza recipe it's basically the same crust mixture poured into a sheet pan to make a larger sheet pizza. And I do like the thinner crust too. Otherwise, you can just double the recipe and bake it in a rimmed sheet pan instead to get a double size pizza.
Donna
Made this tonight & it was so delicious! I don't care for the cauliflower crust so I tried this recipe, never thinking it would be so good. My husband also loved it. We like a lot of garlic so I added 3 fresh minced garlic cloves instead of 1/2 teaspoon. The toppings I used were sauted onions , red peppers & pepperoni. I was wondering how far in advance can you prepare & bake the crust? It would be so easy if you could make ahead of time. Wasn't sure so made it like the recipe said. If anyone knows please let me know. This is definitely a keeper & will be making it whenever we get the urge for pizza which is quite often.
Lisa MarcAurele
The crust can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for a few days or the freezer for longer storage. You may want to undercook it a bit since it will need to be reheated.
Dan
Tried this recipe and I have to say, it, was great. Even my kids enjoyed it. Recommend to anyone.
Carrie
Whole family really enjoyed this! So easy to make, too.
Jack
Great recipe but 5 minutes prep time? On what type of clock?
Lisa
Mixing and pouring the crust then topping off the crust shouldn't take more than 5 minutes. However, some ovens can take longer than 5 minutes to preheat so I'll change it to 10 minutes.
Rhonda
Delish! I found the crust a bit eggy in texture....could I add a small amount of coconut flour to make it a little more bready?
Lisa
You could try adding in some low carb flour and making it more of a Fathead type crust.
Renae
My husband made this at my request for my birthday. Hands down best gluten-free pizza I’ve ever had. I just went keto and this was the perfect way to celebrate without too many carbs! Thanks!
Rebecca
Could I make mini cupcake sized versions of this? If so, how long should I cook it?
Lisa
That should work out. You'll just need to cook the crust part in each mold until it's browned. I don't have a good feel for time as I haven't tested so just keep an eye on them. Then, add toppings and put under the broiler until the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
Gilly
Just made this tonight and it was a hit! Yes, the crust doesn't taste like pizza but that's because it isn't! It's a casserole. I used fresh shredded parm and the crust tasted like cheese. It has an eggy texture but with the sauce and toppings it isn't eggy at all! This was delicious! We added green peppers, pepperoni, and meatballs. I wanted to make sure the meatballs were heated through so I put it in at 350 for another 10-15 minutes. Worked great! Will definitely make again!
Lisa
Meatballs sound like a great topping!
Melissa
Lisa,
Are you kidding me? You are a culinary genius!!! I've been making gluten-free pizzas for many years, but decided to go keto and needed a low-carb recipe. The macros on some are way off. The other seem to require almond flour (an allergen for me). You nailed this! The flavor is better than I could have ever imagined. I'll take this any day over any other pizza I've ever had... even the high-carb, glutenous pizza. Thank you so much for sharing this masterpiece with us!
Lisa
I'm so glad you stumbled up this one. It's been a regular for me and my family since I first started on low carb.
Marianne
Hi! Does the “crust” have a quiche like taste and texture?
Lisa
My family doesn't think so. It's more like a soft crust pizza. If you prefer, you can half the crust ingredients for a thinner crust.
Bonnie
Very good recipe! Everyone LOVED it! Thank you
Lisa
You're welcome Bonnie!
Mallerie
This was amazing. My husband and I are keto and this was amazing. We only have one slice left! Thank you for this perfect recipe.
Lisa
Sounds like it was a hit! My picky eaters love it too.
Tawna
Made this for dinner tonight. It did not disappoint. Cooked the crust 40 minutes could have done 35.
Will absolutely be making this again switching up toppings.
Thanks for the recipe.
Lisa
You're welcome Tawna. Glad you enjoyed the recipe.
Janice
I have made this twice as pizza but decided to try it as bread for a tomato sandwich....awesome!!!
Lisa
Wow! I have to give it a try.
Lauren
Do you think this would be an ok recipe to freeze and bake later? My celiac sister has a new baby and I’m trying to make her some amazing and easy meals she can just put in the oven from the freezer.
Lisa
You'd have to at least bake the "crust" part then freeze with sauce and toppings. Your sister would just need to reheat in the oven and brown up the top.
C
I have a question. I want to make this for a party I’m throwing tomorrow. But the video shows using slices of mozzarella yet I haven’t heard any mention of that.. So do I use slices of mozzarella on top of the crust or shredded on top of the crust? Better yet,,Are there any slices of mozzarella in this or all shredded mozzarella? Thank you in advance for clearing this up!
Lisa
You can use any mozzarella... sliced or shredded.
Ashley
I use shredded mozzarella and it’s fantastic
Ashley
So delicious! I was craving pizza and this really hit the spot!
Bethany
Truly perfect! Thanks so much for the recipe! I have been on keto for 4 weeks and really needed a good slice! My husband and very very very picky daughter both LOVED it!
Lisa
Yay! Happy to hear it was a winner with the whole family!
Ardys Zoellner
I'm not particularly on a Keto diet but not being able to eat any grains has kind of pushed me in that direction. This recipe is a godsend. I haven't eaten pizza this good for years. I can't wait to make it for my husband as he often wants pizza but tries to wait until he is away for work to eat it so it isn't in front of me. Sometimes I have something like this or eggplant parmesan that I make for myself so that he can have his take out pizza! Thank you so much for this. I made my own sauce (because of the intolerances) and I also sauteed fresh fennel until it was very soft and added that in a layer just before the sauce. Delish! Thank you, thank you.
Lisa
I'm so glad you found an easy pizza recipe to enjoy any time!
Erika
I looked everywhere at my grocery store for heavy cream and only have heavy whipped cream. Will this still work?
Lisa
Yes. Heavy and whipped cream are very close, only the fat content differs a bit.
Alyssa Martin
I rarely leave comments on recipes but this is such a hit with my family! We love it.
Lisa
I'm so happy the recipe worked out for you and your family!
Laurel
Has anyone added nutritional yeast season ? Thoughts on using it? This recipe looks amazing! I've only been keto 5 weeks and pizza is a favorite of mine. Can't wait to try it.
Lisa
I haven't, but I know others like the taste it gives.
Jessica
I really want to try this recipe but I do not own a food processor what would you recommend I use instead? thanks
Lisa
If you watch the full video, it's stated that an electric mixer can be used instead of a food processor.
Craig
Wow! Just wow! Make this! You will not be disappointed. Great job Lisa!
I made two batches first go around with 2 different 9x13 dishes. I made the base all together then split the amount in half for each dish.
Reading what some comments put about how the base could be eggy, I made sure the base was nice and brown (not burnt) before taking it out of the oven.
For the pizza sauce I didn't have the opportunity to make my own so I did research and found this one on Amazon... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0763ZVVVD
Yo Mama's Marinara. 6 net carbs for the whole pizza or 0.75g net carb per slice if cut in 8 pieces.
On the kids pizza I just added pepperoni and bacon crumbles.
On the adults pizza I added pepperoni, italian sausage, sauteed red peppers, bacon crumbles.
I also added a bit more mozzarella to the top of each again after putting the toppings on to melt a bit.
A word of caution for the broiler. I haven't use mine much but be sure to keep an eye on it. I walked a way for a bit and when I came back the tops of the toppings were charred just a bit. I got there just in time. It only takes a couple minutes at that setting to finish it off.
Lisa
Yes! You do need to keep an eye on the broiler as it can burn quickly. I'm so glad you all enjoyed the pizza!
Shannon Collins
Oh my gosh, thank you so much for this recipe!! I am 3 weeks in to keto, doing well, except for my craving for pizza. Made this today and it is absolutely delicious! Problem solved...now I'm going through all of your recipes for some new ideas <3
Lisa
I'm so glad it helped you stay on track. Wishing you much success with keto!
bishopcruz
If you grind up a few tablespoons of Chia seeds and add them to the crust, you get a bunch of fiber, and a few net carbs. But the crust is much more bread like. I far prefer it that way now. It also makes the bottom a little less greasy.
Lisa
Thanks for the tip! I'll give it a try.
Dawn
This was so good and a hit for my whole family I will make again soon!!!
Julie
Are the macros without the toppings?
Lisa
It includes the cheese topping, but no add-ons.
Amanda
Are the 2 cups of mozzarella to be divided? I didn’t see that and I put two cups of mozzarella into the crust and didn’t even think about the mozzarella on the top. Plus, would it be ok to use the shredded mozzarella .
Lisa
Yes. 1 cup for the crust and 1 cup for topping as stated in the instructions. I noted in the ingredient list that it should be divided. Sorry about not stating it up front.
canyouread
it said divide the mozzarella and put 1 cup in greased pan and the other on top
Sammy
This was absolutely delicious! I do have a question though. My crust was kind of soft and floppy, is that how it's supposed to be or should it be hard?
Lisa
It's a soft crust.
Alexa
It shouldn’t be soft and floppy it should be firm-ish.
Megan
This turned out amazing. Just started a Keto diet and I LOVE pizza. You can hardly tell the difference!
Karyn
Thank you for this recipe! My family and I are new to Keto, this seriously takes care of a pizza craving. My husband couldn’t believe the ‘crust’! Simply delicious! I let it get golden brown as you said to do, and it was perfect, not egg’y at all, as was posted in some comments.
Michele Lewis
This was soooooo good! My husband really liked it. It was so easy to make. I used Italian sausage and turkey pepperoni for my toppings. This will be a go-to for me for sure.
Cindi
I’ve been on Keto for 8 weeks and I crave pizza daily. I now can satisfy my craving. This is the BEST food I have eaten in 8 weeks. I added more meat and other no carb pizza toppings which made it look like a deep dish! Absolutely awesome. My husband who hates my diet took it for lunch to work a couple of days. Thank you!!!!
Lisa
Love that your husband enjoyed it too!
Kyle
OMG I have made this twice in a week. I even had this while my son was eating a cheese pizza I ordered him. Flour crust is merely a cheese delivery system so a crust made of cheese is just the best of the bestest!!!!
Lisa
I agree! My family loves this pizza and they are not low carb.
Suzette
I've been keto for about 4 months now and have come across a couple of keto pizza recipes that were "okay" but this one is the best by far. This is even after messing up by accidentally adding 2 cups of mozzarella to the "crust" instead of one cup. My non-keto hubby and daughter, who support me by eating what I make, think so as well! I topped it with sauce, sauteed onion and bell pepper with mushrooms, pepperoni, and fresh mozzarella. I am already looking forward to lunch tomorrow. Thinking about doubling the recipe next time so that I can have even more leftovers as I foresee my hubby helping himself to "MY" pizza....LOL! Thank you so much for this recipe!!!
Tami
My husband is diagnosed diabetic with Celiac, and has Gastroparesis, so I was excited to find this recipe because he loves pizza. However, we have to watch the fat intake due to the Gastroparesis. The recipe calls for the mozzarella to be full fat. I’m assuming there is a good reason. What would it be like if I used a non-fat or low fat mozzarella? Thanks!
Lisa
The 2% actually works better than full fat so the lower fat or non-fat should be okay.
Torie
This is an absolutely fantastic recipe. I have made this several times at home for my family. I've had fantastic results on the ketogenic diet! 40 lbs down in 3 month. Many people are having great success and with this information, I hope you do too!
Mick
Pizza was really good and I used the turkey pepperoni.
April
Omg this was fabulous!!!!!! I will make again and again! I'm totally satisfied with the taste! Wow
Chad M.
Ummm.... Yes. Just yes. Absolutely yes! Where has this recipe been for my last few rounds of Keto???? I am making it for the second time right now. I ate almost the whole first one by myself. I didn't do pepperonis because I didn't have any, so that cut back my calories a bit. This is my new 'guilty-pleasure' food :). The recipe is printed out and sitting on top of my scant stack of recipes. LOVE IT! THANK YOU!!!! <3 😀 ^_^
Lisa
It's one my family's favorites too!
Carol Ryan
Would I be able to prepare and bake the base of the pizza the day before?
Lisa
I don't see why not.
C
Did you try this method? Wondering sane thing and what the results were?
C
I want to do the same. Did you try this method and how did it turn out for you? Thanks!
Connie
AWESOME! Made tonight for my diabetic husband and me! We both loved it. So easy to make. Followed directions pretty much to the letter except for the Asiago cheese. Didn't have that. Just used more shredded parm! Also added green peppers and pepperoni and cut in smaller slices. Can't wait for breakfast tomorrow to try cold!!!
Julie
I made this pizza tonight for my family. They all loved it. Thank you for a great recipe!! Followed your instructions
Willow
This is the second year that we are using this recipe for Fridays during Lent. It is the best tasting keto pizza recipe that I have tried.
Lisa
It is a great recipe for Lenten Fridays!
cherie
Delicious! This recipe did not disappoint!
Joyce
This was superb! Absolutely cured my pizza craving. My non-keto eating husband even gave it high praise. I will definitely make this again.
Maigan
This was not good. I love pizza and this was not pizza. It ended up being pizza toppings on a weird soggy scrambled egg-like thing. The top of the ‘crust’ was browned, I followed the recipe and it just wasn’t good.
Lisa
It's a pizza casserole, not a pizza.
Pam
OMG, I had to print it because this will be a new go-to recipe. The hubby loves it and so do I. The only thing I'm going to do different is make two so he doesn't eat it all!!!
Lisa
My kids actually eat it on me so I now make a thinner crust using a larger rimmed baking sheet.
Marisa
This recipe is our go-to for pizza. But tonight I decided to make the crust and use it as lasagna noodles. Omg so good!!
Lisa MarcAurele
What a great idea. Thanks for sharing that the crust works as a lasagna noodle layer too!
Ramona
Oh my gosh, this was absolutely delicious! We will be making this again and again! We're new to Keto and this helped us with our pepperoni pizza cravings!
Valerie
I just made this for lunch, and it really is good! I did the sheet pan version, which only took about 20 minutes to cook the crust. I forgot to add the mozzarella to the crust (so just the egg mix and parm), but it still turned out ok. Just a little bit eggy, but if I made it correctly, that would likely be corrected. As a personal preference, I might also add more sauce next time, since I like it thick, but the amount called for was enough to cover the crust.
Lisa
You will need to double the amount if baking in a bigger sheet pan.
Sue Morris
Thanks for this recipe. It was a big hit with my family too. I used the powdery cheese in the plastic dispenser and wondered if it would be ok or if I should use the grated. It worked fine. I used already grated mozzarella cheese. The only thing I changed was to add thin sliced and chopped (about 1/2 inch) bell pepper and onion. It was great!
Lisa
I've used both the powder Parmesan and the grated. Both work out for me.
Vicki
I have made this 2 times and absolutely love it. So yummy. I store leftover slices and eat it for breakfast. Just as good as the real thing!
Olivia
Let me just say...WOW! I made this tonight and it was fabulous!!!! I cooked my “crust” for a couple extra minutes just to make sure it got done(all ovens vary). Topped with green pepper, diced ham, and pepperoni. Broiled for 3 minutes. My boyfriend raved over it! Thank you so much for sharing this!!!
Lauren
I just tried this - followed the instructions and everything. Maybe I should have baked it longer or something. Mine did not firm up and I don't know if there was too much cheese or what but when I ate it - it did not taste good at all. It almost made me sick and I'm not lactose intolerant.
Lisa
You need to check the crust before adding the sauce and toppings. It should be brown and fully cooked. Maybe your oven is off or your cheese wasn't right?
Billie Jo Pawlak
This is my "go to" recipe every week. I make one on Sunday and slice it up for the week's lunches. I love it!! I can't wait to play with the toppings, but so far have only used pepperoni as it is easy. This has made my transition to a Ketogenic lifestyle so much easier!!
Valerie
I made this in sheet pan comes out perfect! Only thing I can’t figure out is why is it salty?!?!?
Lisa
It's the cheese. If you reduce some of the cheese it will reduce the sodium.
Erich
Or switch to a quality block cheese that does not have any anti caking ingredients in it, those tend to be saltier as well.
Lisa
True. Those can be hard to find in regular markets, though.
Heather F.
I'm obsessed with this pizza! I started Keto three weeks ago, and pizza was the food I was the most sad about giving up. Thank goodness I found this recipe. I make it in a large cookie sheet and it tastes like legit thin crust pizzeria pizza! My husband says he tastes the egg, but I don't at all. Love it, love it, love it!
sheila
New to low carb-was excited to share pizza night with the family ( we're used to Dominos)so first bites were exciting and tasting like pizza. I had to keep getting over the idea of "egg" though it didn't taste like egg. By the end of the only piece, I have to say it was beginning to roll around in my mouth picking up different flavors and not going down as easily. I didn't use fresh grated parmesan and think that might make a difference. I haven't tried fathead yet, so will give that a whirl.
Pam
Our family is switching to a Keto diet. We just had this tonight. Everyone loved it.!!! So easy and very tasty. I think putting some ham and cheese on this crust would make a very good breakfast pizza as well. Thank you for this receipe.
Derek
Hi, I just noticed the video says to bake for the final step, but the written recipe says broil. What is correct? Thanks, and I am really enjoying this site so far!
Lisa
I broil to brown the cheese.
Chris
First off thanks for great recipe.Have a question. How did you get calorie count of 229?I have MasterCook and Living Cookbook and both are showing the calories around 280. I've even included the homemade pizza sauce. Was wondering what I'm missing...Thxs
Lisa
I updated the nutrition using the latest calculator I have. The calorie count did move up.
Stephanie
I made this tonight and was surprised at how good it was! I used a 9 by 13 cake pan and the crust did not get firm enough To pick up but it was still delicious. Next time I will try a larger pan to see if it will crisp up with a thinner crust. I made a double batch of the crust batter so I may be trying it very soon!
Willie Jo Manor
I've always used parchment paper when making dough before. Is that needed or not?
Lisa
You shouldn't need it if you grease the pan.
Eric
Trying this now and of course, as I anticipated, dough comes out of oven looking nothing like video, more eggy like a omelette/casserole than pizza, yuck!
Lisa
Did you cook it until browned? It is an egg based crust so it should look similar to an omelette.
Jess
That's because it's a casserole...
Monica
Very easy and satisfying! Loved this and will definitely make it again many times.
Kathy
My granddaughter is 8 and was diagnosed with celiac disease when she was 3. Pizza is a hard thing to find tasty and gluten free. I am very excited to make this for her. Do leftovers heat up well and how would you suggest doing it?
Lisa
Yes! We reheat the leftovers in the microwave or toaster oven. Tastes as good as fresh!
Diana Abata
I can not wait to try this recipe. Sounds yummy. My only question is I do not have a broiler should i just put back in oven to melt the cheese or will that make it to done
Lisa
The broiler is the best way to brown the cheese. You could just put it back in the melt or brown as best you can in the oven.
Dawn
I don't have a broiler either but I just put it in the top as close as I could get and the cheese melted just fine 🙂
Katharine
Just tried this tonight...only modification I made was a 1/4 cup more Parmesan in the crust. We made it in a sheet pan and made a Margherita pizza with fresh mozzarella, five cheese blend fresh basil and sliced tomatoes. Oh. My. Goodness. My husband who so far has only tolerated the Keto recipes I’ve made so far absolutely loved this and so did I. Couldn’t taste a difference and maybe the thin crust made a difference because there was no “eggy” texture to our crust. So happy I found this because pizza was the biggest culprit to me having to be on Keto, and with this replacement, I’m in heaven!
Lisa
Yay!
Debi
This recipe is a keeper! I have been so disappointed by many of the different recipes I find for low carb & diabetics. This was a total success. Will pass it on. THANK YOU THANK YOU -
Lisa
You're welcome Debi!
Heather
This is so good!! I’m so surprised and can’t wait for our next pizza!
Melissa
The parmesan that goes in blender is that shredded or shaker kind. I think I'm confused on the cheeses.
Lisa
You can use either, but I prefer shredded.
Shelly
I made this to bring to a pizza party. It was delicious! My son's fiancee who is GF, but not keto, said it was the most delicious thing ever! She is a pizza fiend! I topped with Italian beef, green peppers, onions and mushrooms on one half. Even the non-keto people (who had their own, glutenous pizzas) thought it was yummy. I can't wait to make it again! Thanks!
Lisa
I've served this at parties and it's always a hit even for those not on low carb. Love the sound of those toppings!
Rhonda
I made this tonight and I have to say FIVE STARS! I just started the keto diet and its hard to find taste bread type of foods.
This recipe is the first one I tried that was actually very good. Flavorful and taste just like a pizza.
The changes I made were, italian seasoning for the oregano and I added 1/2 tsp of Red Pepper Flakes.
I had to bake the crust 40 minutes before it was golden in color. I also added extra sprinkling of Parmesan cheese across the pizza sauce
Lisa
Thanks for sharing how it worked out for you!
Amandie
This was awesome! Really love how easy it is. Making it again for lunch at work this week. Thanks soooo much!
I also love the other ideas on using this for lasagna, I will have to try that as well.
Lisa
Glad you loved this one as much as we do!
Deborah
Great store bought marinara sauce is Rao's. Its pricy but fabulous and only has 3 net carbs per half cup (no sugar in it).
Can't wait to try this pizza. I always need a quick go-to for a busy night and this looks like a winner.
Lisa
It is a good choice. I've purchased it at BJ's
Sk
I missed where we are supposed to add the heavy cream, I am assuming it’s in the egg mixture?
Lisa
It's in step #2 of the instructions.
Erin
This was fantastic! My husband was raving about how delicious this was and my kids begged for more. I’m the only one eating low carb and I was hoping to have lots to take as leftovers for my work lunches. Not so much - the whole family gobbled it up!
Lisa
That's why I make the casserole in a larger jelly-roll pan now. It makes a thinner crust and more slices.
Shaina
My husband is currently on a keto diet (low carb) and I'm gluten free. Last night I got to make a meal for both of us and my kids and it was a hit! This is a recipe that will be sticking around in our house!
Lisa
Awesome! You know it's definitely a hit when the kids eat it up.
Jessica
I am ecstatic to try this recipe this weekend! We usually have fathead and I've been loving it, but it doesn't quite last as long for two of us - when it's just me, I eat it for lunch the next two days, but when my husband eats it too, it's gone in a flash. So I think this recipe might do the trick. Fill him up and still leave me with leftovers the next day.
Lisa
If you want to extend this recipe even more, I recommend making it in a larger jelly-roll baking pan. It will be a thinner crust and be almost twice the size of one done in a 9x13 pan.
Jennie
I made this for dinner Friday night and used a round pizza pan for it. I was skeptical of it coming out like pizza, mainly because of the lack o f an actual crust and I was very happy with the results. The "crust" really did provide the perfect platform and delivery system for the toppings that we put on it and even with the toppings we used -- feta, mozzarella, spinach, pepperoni, mushrooms and roasted peppers -- the calories for one piece were still low as was the carb content.
I think this is going to be my go-to recipe for when we're craving pizza.
Lisa
Yay! Happy you enjoyed it!

I have made this several times and it is wonderful! My husband is a diabetic and loves pizza. He absolutely loves this recipe. Thank you!
Lisa
You're welcome! Thanks for writing in to let use know how much you and your husband enjoy the recipe.

Four enthusiastic forks up at our house. I forgot the heavy cream and this still rocked!
Lisa
Good to know it's still great without the cream!
amanda
has anyone tried this with coconut/almond milk to replace the heavy cream? would it still work??
Lisa
I haven't, but I'm thinking it should work.
Stacey
I have. It works great
Calli G
Do you think I could half the recipe for it to be made in an 8x8 pan? It's just me eating Keto and I won't be able to eat the whole 9x13 recipe!
Lisa
You can do that or freeze half for later.
Karen
Can you freeze it once you have cooked it?
Lisa
You can!
Russ
Hi,
Thanks for this awesome recipe. I made this last night and liked it a lot. However, mine is too eggy. Did I do something wrong? or is there anything I can do to make this less eggy?
Thanks a lot.
Lisa
You can make a thinner crust by halfing the crust ingredients. Or, you can try using all egg whites.
Denzel Sweetie
Wacky question/comment.
I have been looking at this recipe and thinking that it could work in a slow-cooker.
Thoughts?
Lisa
If you have a crock that can go in the oven for browning the top, I'd say yes. The crust can definitely be cooked in a slow cooker, but it's difficult to brown the top unless you put it in the oven. Also, I doubt the bottom of the crust would cook as well in the slow cooker.
Renee
Wow! This was a REAL hit with the entire family. Hubbie is always looking for low carb options and he absolutely LOVED this recipe. One tip to share. Don't buy sugar free pizza sauce. I used America's Test Kitchen pizza sauce recipe which is crushed tomatoes, garlic and olive oil. Worked great and didn't add a bit of sugar!
Lisa
I'll have to look for that brand of pizza sauce. Sounds great!
Terry
It's a recipe, not store bought.
Lisa
Oh. I'll look that one up then!
Lisa

Where could I find this sauce please?
Lisa
You can make your own using this recipe or buy pre-made at the store (just look for one without sugar).
C
Walmart’s brand Great Value is the only pizza sauce I can find store bought that has zero sugar is only 3 net g of carbs. It’s also like $1.12 I believe! Win win!!

I cant tell you how much I love love this pizza. I used the thinner version and made a Margarita Pizza with fresh tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, fresh basil and good dried oregano. I use to eat Margarita Pizza all the time and I missed it. NOT anymore!! Just incredible. See my pics on your Facebook page!
Lisa
I saw your photo Allison. It looks so good that I bought some fresh mozzarella to use with our garden tomatoes to make a Margherita Pizza this weekend. And, I've been doing the thinner crust too in a larger rimmed baking pan.
Marquett
Oh man, this was pretty good, but I think I found an amazing use for this "crust". I made this Friday night, but I used a sheet pan for the dough instead of a casserole dish because I wanted it thinner. Well, I had a few pieces leftover so I layered them, topped them with sauce, and heated it. It was reminiscent of lasagna, and delicious!!!! I am definitely going to be using this "crust" as my lasagna noodle next time for individual lasagnas.
Lisa
Interesting! I'll have to give that a try! I've been searching for a good lasagna noodle.
jennycherie
love this recipe! it was so easy to mix (I used my blender) and it smelled great cooking.
Lisa
Thanks! Glad it worked out in the blender.
Vanessa
OMG! I made this tonight! Delish!
Lisa
I think so too! Glad you liked it! 🙂
carla flaim
Very tasty. I used shredded 3 cheese blend instead of the grated asiago, etc. Worked just fine. I also used a lb of italian sausage as a topping. Upped the calorie count quite a bit though. I really wanted more than one piece but didn't! Next time I will go for more veggies as a topping. thanks!
Alli
I made this tonight for dinner... WOW! I couldn't get over how delicious this was, and my family couldn't believe that it had no flour or bread in the recipe anywhere! This dish is definitely a winner and will be a staple in my home! Thanks Lisa!
Lisa
You're welcome Alli! So glad the family enjoyed it!
Sara
I thought whole milk wasn't allowed on low carb?
Lisa
Whole milk mozzarella cheese is not the same as whole milk. It's lower in carbs than the low fat cheese.
Sara
I totally was reading whole milk and mozzarella cheese as 2 separate ingredients lol. I was wondering why I didn't see what you did with the whole milk in the recipe directions. Makes sense now lol
Lisa
You aren't the only one Sara! I've been asked the question about whole milk before. lol 🙂
Patti
People are asking you about this because in the ingredient list it says "2 cups whole milk" (the list of ingredients before you click on the photo in Pinterest that takes you to the website with the whole recipe)
Lisa
Will fix!
Deeplyrootedamy
Ok, you totally saved from cheating on my LCHF diet! This is so good. Even my boyfriend liked it and said it was better than any store bought pizza! He doesn't do LCHF but still loved it. Thank you so much.
Lisa
My pleasure! Glad that it was a hit.
Maria
This was perfect pizza at its best! It will be on the weekly rotation. Imagine, low carb pizza GUILT FREE! Thank you!
Trish
Can this be made ahead and frozen or refrigerated overnight for baking the next day?
Lisa
This casserole uses an egg based crust similar to quiche. You could prepare the crust part ahead and bake with toppings later from freezer or fridge. If freezing, I'd add the sauce and topping before freezing. I'd probably hold off on the sauce if putting in fridge so the crust won't get soggy.
Jane Barnes
Lisa,
Which sugar-free pizza sauce are you using? I haven't been able to locate a truly low-carb tomato/pizza sauce. Cannot wait to try this!
Lisa
I don't have a specific brand and sometimes just make it using tomato sauce. I typically just buy the one with the lowest carb count making sure no sugar is added.
Sara
Nature's Promise has a good, organic pizza sauce that is truly sugar free. 1/4c has 2 net carbs.
Lisa
Thanks! I'll have to look out for that one!
C
Walmart’s brand Great Value is the only store bought pizza sauce I can find with zero sugar and 3 g net carbs. I believe it only costs $1.12 too! Win win!
Tonya S
The Dollar Tree stores has one that is 1 carb per serving.
Nicole Choudhary
HEy Lisa!
This sounds recipe divine but I have a question ... does the cream cheese have to be full fat and can you use anything besides heavy cream?
I have tried other carb free crusts, the cauliflower based one and I tried soo hard to like but I just couldn't do it!! So I am really hoping this one may be my new go-to 🙂
Thank you for the wonderful recipes! Blogs like this make it easier to be carb free!!
Lisa
Hi Nicole!
You should always use full fat when on a low carb diet so that's the cream cheese I typically use, but a lower fat one will work in this recipe. You could use a low carb milk in place of the heavy cream if you'd like. The crust is egg based so it's somewhat like an omelette, but doesn't really taste like one because of the cheese and sauce.
Nicole Choudhary
Thank you for the very speedy reply! I am so anxious to try this soon!!
Sooo glad I found your blog <3
Carolyn
This was really good! I also used the trick of using the immersion blender to mix the cream cheese and eggs, which worked great. This will become a regular recipe in my low carb world but still tastes like a yummy pizza from my old high carb world. Thanks fora great recipe!
Lisa
I always forget about the immersion blender. It is easier than pulling out the big food processor and I love how you can blend things in the container. Glad you liked it!
Rachel H.
I realize this is probably a silly question, but for the mozzarella and Asiago/Parmesan or Romano, the cup counts are for *grated cheese*? This recipe seems so very, very simple ... so, of course my mind goes to ways to complicate my life (like sautéing zucchini & onions, for a topping).
Lisa
Yes. Measurements are for grated cheese. This is a recipe I often turn to on busy nights. Asiago is my favorite.
Gemma
I seldom comment, however i did a few searching and wound up here Pizza Casserole - Gluten Free | Low Carb
Yum. And I actually do have 2 questions for you if you
tend not to mind. Is it simply me or does it look like some
of these responses come across like coming from brain dead
individuals? 😛 And, if you are posting on additional online sites, I would like to follow everything fresh you have to post.
Could you make a list of every one of your public pages like
your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
Lisa
Hi Gemma! I certainly don't mind and I wish I would receive more comments. I love when folks take the time to write on a post. I do post all the fresh blog content on my Facebook Page, Twitter, Pinterest and Google+. I do have a Linkedin profile, but I haven't attached it to this blog... yet. That's because it was written specific to my career as an engineer, but now that I've been back to regular blogging, I'll add information about my experience as a food blogger.

This will be my second time commenting on this recipe. This is our new favorite pizza! I have made it several times and each was delicious. Last night my casserole dish was "otherwise occupied" so I made the pizza on a 13x18 baking sheet lined with greased parchment paper. This was our favorite so far! Hot, the crust was firm enough to pick up the slice and fold over to eat. Cold the next day though... the pizza was indiscernible from really good delivery! YES! IT WAS THAT GOOD! Cold pizza is my favorite breakfast but it wasn't just me... all three adults who ate it cold said the same thing - that you could not tell it from a regular delivery pizza! I'm hooked! And its so easy to throw together too! Thank you so much for this recipe! I wish I could post the fabulous photo of my perfect slice of cold pizza that shows just how sturdy the crust is! Thanks again... Amy
Lisa
Amy, I would love to see that slice of pizza. I'll admit that when I make this, I always eat a cold slice the next morning for breakfast. Thanks for taking the time to share your results baking on parchment paper. I have had great results baking other pizza on parchment paper, but never thought of doing it with this recipe.
Amy
This was delicious! Toppings I used were sausage, pepperoni, salami, onions, bell pepper and olives. While it's definitely a casserole and meant to be eaten with a fork it had a flavor that was reminiscent of the deep dish pizza from Mazzios that I love. I really miss pizza and have tried many low carb options. I had settled on a recipe that has a cheese based crust you roll out and can actually pick up the slice but it's pretty time consuming. This was as good, although different, and far easier! A keeper!
Lisa
Those toppings sound delish. Thanks for sharing your results on the recipe!
Anne
Made this last night & it was a big hit with my family. Next time I'll skip the pizza sauce & use olive oil, pesto because I don't like red sauce. Also, I used an immersion blender for eggs & cheese blending worked better. A simple quick recipe that I highly recommend.
Lisa
Your modified version sounds great Anne!
