Directions

A seriously good cheese pizza is my kryptonite. Nine times out of ten, if I’m having a cheat meal, it will be a pizza of some kind, and I love em all: thin New York, thick Chicago, crunchy Detroit, in squares, in triangles, authentic pizza margherita, wild Californian fusions, and whatever else you can think of. That’s why it was so important to me to develop — to the best of my abilities — a keto friendly pizza recipe that was as delicious as it was healthy.

That said, anytime you make a “healthy” version of something that’s delicious and high-calorie, you will almost certainly end up sacrificing some flavor. To compensate for that, instead of reducing or removing things (like a traditional dough) that give delicious flavors, we’ve replaced them with something that will produce a delicious flavor all on it’s own. So while these keto-friendly pizza pies will never replace a classic large from your favorite hole-in-the-wall up the road, this will make contest prep a hell-of-a-lot easier. At the end of the day, it’s nice to know that you can diet and prepare for a contest without needing a traditional “cheat meal” or the extra calories that come along with it when you can have a delicious low carb version that will satiate you until the contest is over and you can splurge again!

This is our first pizza-entry and for sure we will try out different versions. If you have any similar low carb or keto pizza recipes you’ve enjoyed, or have an idea on how you would modify this one feel free to leave a comment and tell us about it!
