How to make this pork crust keto pizza recipe

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

To a mixing bowl, add ground pork, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper and mix together until well-combined.

Rip off two even-sized pieces of parchment paper and transfer ground pork mixture on top of one piece of parchment paper.

Then place the other piece of parchment paper atop the meat.

Using a rolling pin, roll meat until it is an even layer.

Remove and discard the top piece of parchment paper before, using hands, forming meat into a rectangle.

Carefully slide a baking sheet beneath parchment paper and transfer baking sheet to oven to bake for 10 minutes, rotating baking sheet halfway through baking time.

Remove pan from oven and carefully pour grease from baking sheet into a can or jar to discard. Using paper towels, blot excess grease off of meat.

Scoop and spread tomato sauce into even layer atop meat crust.

Sprinkle ¼ cup shredded mozzarella atop tomato sauce.

Top with chopped mushrooms, grated parmesan, and dried oregano.

Sprinkle remaining ¼ cup shredded mozzarella on top.

Return baking sheet to oven and bake until shredded mozzarella is melted, bubbly and golden. Then remove from oven, allow meatza to cool slightly before cutting into pieces.

Serve with a sprinkle of grated parmesan and if preferred, garnish it with fresh oregano. Enjoy!

Ingredient substitutions for low carb meat pizza

• Ground Pork: Ground beef or ground chicken can be used on their own here in place of ground pork or use a combination of those ground meats.
• Italian Seasoning: A combination of dried basil and dried oregano can be subbed in for Italian Seasoning.
• Pizza Sauce: Rao’s Homemade Pizza Sauce has a low-carb content and tastes delicious. You can likely find it in your local grocery store, otherwise, it is available for sale on Amazon. If you don’t want to use their pizza sauce, their marinara sauce (specifically the “Sensitive” variety of their marinara sauce) will work as a base. If you can’t find Rao’s brand, any other jarred marinara will technically work, but the carb content will likely be higher. If you use marinara sauce instead of pizza sauce, I would recommend adding some tomato paste to thicken it slightly, and potentially some additional spices.
• Shredded Mozzarella Cheese: Shredded white cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Colby Jack would be your best options in place of shredded mozzarella.
• White Mushrooms: You can omit these if you’d prefer. You can also choose to add your own low-carb vegetables as a topping. Just be sure to not overdo it and add too many vegetables, otherwise, they won’t cook through during the bake time.
• Grated Parmesan Cheese: Shredded Parmesan is a great substitute for grated. You can also choose to altogether omit this ingredient.
• Dried Oregano: Italian Seasoning and/or dried basil can be used in place of dried oregano in this recipe.
• Fresh Oregano: You can use fresh basil instead of fresh oregano.

Keto meatzza FAQs

Is this pizza gluten-free?

Yes! It is. Since we’re using a meat-based crust, there are ingredients containing gluten required here.

Can this recipe be made dairy-free?

Yes, you can omit all of the cheese from the recipe and the pizza will still work. Just note, however, that the ingredients may not stick as well to the crust if you don’t use the shredded mozzarella cheese that the recipe calls for.

How to store the meatzza in the refrigerator after baking?

Store cooked meatza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven at 425 degrees until warmed throughout.
