Recipe Notes:

Ground Pork Substitution: 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 Substitution: A combination of dried basil and dried oregano can be subbed in for Italian Seasoning.

Pizza Sauce Substitution: 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 Substitution: Shredded white cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Colby Jack would be your best options in place of shredded mozzarella.

White Mushrooms Substitution: 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 Substitution: Shredded Parmesan is a great substitute for grated. You can also choose to altogether omit this ingredient.

Dried Oregano Substitution: Italian Seasoning and/or dried basil can be used in place of dried oregano in this recipe.

Fresh Oregano Substitution: You can use fresh basil instead of fresh oregano.

Making This Recipe Dairy-Free: 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.
