Discover Irresistible Keto Pizza Recipes: The Ultimate Low-Carb Pizza Guide!

The ketogenic diet, or keto diet, is easy to maintain when you’re at home. It’s a good option for everyone whose goal is weight loss. However, it can be tricky at fast food restaurants. The keto diet focuses on high-fat, low-carb foods, which can be challenging to find when eating out.

Navigating Domino's on a Keto Diet

If you're on a keto diet, navigating fast food restaurants like Domino's can be difficult. The menu is typically filled with high-carb items that can easily kick you out of ketosis. Domino’s pizza doesn’t have any keto friendly or low carb options available on their menu in terms of crust. If you are ordering pizza, keep your meal nearly carb free by scraping off the toppings and tossing away the crust.

The Domino's Dilemma: Keto Edition

It doesn’t matter whether you’re at Domino’s or Pizza Hut, the rules are simple - you can’t have pizza the way it is. The truth is, pizza isn’t a healthy food option. This is why fast food restaurants are not the best option for you. Cooking at home allows you to closely monitor what you put into your body.

But, ladies and gentlemen, if you’re still craving Domino’s pizza you can scrape off all the toppings and stay away from eating the crust. Save your toppings, put them in a bowl and grab a fork.

At Domino’s, you can make your own pizza or order one of their famous combinations. The good news? Some of their popular pizza combinations are filled with meats, pepperoni, ham and other protein, then covered in cheese.

Keto-Friendly Strategies at Domino's

Here are a few strategies to consider when trying to maintain a keto diet at Domino's:

Scrape the Toppings: The easiest way to enjoy the flavors of pizza without the carbs is to scrape off the toppings and eat them without the crust.
Focus on Salads: If weight loss is your ultimate keto diet goal, you may want to opt for one of their salads. Add extra meat to increase fat and protein count, but stay away from high carb sauces and sweet dressings.
Sandwiches without Bread: Get one of the sandwiches we listed below without the bread - they’re low carb and keto diet friendly. REMINDER! You can add extra cheese, chicken and veggies to all sandwiches.

The Ultimate Keto Pizza Recipe

Here’s a detailed recipe to guide you through making a delicious keto pizza at home:

Ingredients

Almond flour. You must use blanched almond flour, not almond meal.
Mozzarella cheese.
Cream cheese. Use cream cheese from a stick or block, not a tub (spreadable). This makes all the difference in terms of how crispy the crust will be. More liquid (i.e. tub cream cheese) = soggy crust.
Eggs.
Toppings of choice.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prep work. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Lightly grease a pizza pan or baking sheet and set aside.
Make the dough. Add the almond flour to a large bowl. In a microwave-safe bowl, add the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese and microwave in 20-second spurts until mostly melted. Whisk the cheeses together, then add the almond flour, then the eggs. Mix together until a sticky dough remains.
Shape the crust. On a flat surface, place a large piece of parchment paper. Transfer the pizza dough on top of it. Place a second piece of parchment paper over it. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough until a half inch in thickness. Remove the top piece of parchment paper and use your hands to shape the dough into a pizza shape and smooth out the crust. Place the pizza dough onto the pizza pan and bake for 12 minutes, until firm.
Pre-bake the crust. Place a piece of parchment paper on a flat surface and the dough on top. Place a second piece of parchment paper over it. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin until it is ½ inch thick.
Add toppings and bake again. Remove the crust from the oven. Top with the pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings. Lightly brush the sides with olive oil and place back in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden around the edges and the cheese has melted.

Making a Frozen Keto Pizza

To make a frozen keto pizza, you’ll need to follow the same process as if you were going to cook it completely. However, once you pre-bake the crust, let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, add your sauce and toppings, and cover it completely with plastic wrap (saran wrap). Let the cheese cool slightly.

Storing Leftover Keto Pizza

TO STORE: Leftover pizza can be stored in the refrigerator, covered.

Nutritional Information

How many carbs are in keto pizza? Each slice of this recipe has just 2 grams of net carbs each, and the entire pizza crust has just 8 grams of carbs.

Ingredient Substitutions

Can I substitute the almond flour for coconut flour? Do not replace the almond flour for coconut flour. Both flours, while keto friendly, have different baking properties and will not yield the same results.
