Introduction

Keto Low-Carb Sheet Pan Pizza is the ultimate solution for anyone craving classic pizza flavors while staying committed to a low-carb, ketogenic, or Weight Watchers–conscious lifestyle. This recipe delivers everything people love about pizza—crispy edges, gooey cheese, rich tomato flavor, and savory toppings—without the high carbohydrates of traditional dough.

Why Sheet Pan Pizza Works for Keto

Using a sheet pan allows the pizza crust to cook evenly, develop crisp edges, and support generous toppings without falling apart. For keto eaters, a sheet pan method is especially effective because low-carb crusts tend to be more delicate than wheat-based doughs. The wide surface ensures stability and consistent baking.

What Makes This Pizza Keto

This recipe replaces traditional flour with almond flour and cheese, creating a fat-adapted crust that keeps net carbs low while remaining satisfying. The sauce is sugar-free, and toppings are carefully chosen to stay keto-approved and WW-friendly.

Taste and Texture

The crust is lightly crisp on the outside and tender inside, with a rich, cheesy bite. The toppings bake into the crust, creating a cohesive slice that holds together well. Every bite delivers bold Italian flavor without heaviness.

Ideal for Meal Prep and Families

Because it’s made in a sheet pan, this pizza is ideal for slicing into portions. It works well for family dinners, weekly meal prep, or social gatherings where both keto and non-keto eaters can enjoy the same meal.

Ingredients (Serves 6)

For the Keto Crust

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 oz cream cheese
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

For the Pizza Sauce

  • ½ cup sugar-free pizza sauce or crushed tomatoes
  • ½ teaspoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

For the Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup turkey pepperoni or regular pepperoni
  • ½ cup sliced mushrooms
  • ¼ cup bell peppers, sliced
  • ¼ cup black olives, sliced
  • Optional: cooked chicken, sausage, or spinach

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

2. Melt the Cheese

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.

3. Mix the Dough

Add almond flour, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt to the melted cheese. Mix until a dough forms. It should be soft but not sticky.

4. Shape the Crust

Transfer the dough to the prepared sheet pan. Using lightly oiled hands or parchment paper, press it into a thin, even rectangle.

5. Pre-Bake the Crust

Bake the crust for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden. This step prevents sogginess once toppings are added.

6. Prepare the Sauce

In a small bowl, mix pizza sauce with olive oil, oregano, and garlic powder. This enhances flavor without adding carbs.

7. Add Sauce

Spread the sauce evenly over the pre-baked crust, leaving a small border around the edges.

8. Add Cheese

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the sauce. This layer helps hold the toppings in place.

9. Add Toppings

Distribute pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, olives, and any optional toppings evenly.

10. Final Bake

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are crisp.

11. Rest Before Cutting

Allow the pizza to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps the crust set and improves texture.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with a simple green salad, roasted vegetables, or zucchini noodles for a complete keto-friendly meal.

Storage Instructions

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Reheating Tips

Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispness. Avoid microwaving if possible.
