Better than Fat Head Pizza, this Low Carb Pizza fills you up at a fraction of the calories and carbs! The secret? Pork Rind Power!

I'll admit it, I'm an absolute Pizza super fan. Pizza was one of the absolute hardest things for me to give up since going Keto.

We used to eat it all. the. time.

It all started in our college dorm, which offered specialty pizzas made to order every Friday night. It was nothing short of magical, so it's something that my hubby and I have always connected over.

Fun fact: we even ordered a pizza to our hotel room on our wedding night!

I was so excited to learn about Fat Head Pizza because that stuff is seriously delicious. I've made it for my family countless times since cutting the carbs, but even though it's low, the carb count always kind of bothered me.

I mean, I think it's fine if you're a nibble on a slice and be full person, but I'm not that kind of girl.

I've been working on a new recipe to cut the carbs even less and I think I've got something you're going to love as much as I do.

This recipe calls for no almond flour, no coconut flour and no cauliflower. The secret to a yummy crust with only 1 TOTAL carb per serving?

Pork Rinds

That's right. Pork Rind Flour, if you want to get technical. 🙂 All it is is crushed up pork rinds. And the craziest part is you can't even taste them.

I'm not really a sauce person so I only used a bit of olive oil under the toppings. The carbs are so low in this crust you have a bit of wiggle room if you do enjoy a little sugar free pizza sauce.

Very lazy keto cook here. I pulverized a bag of pork rinds from Aldi 3.25 Oz and it looked like two cups in my food processor. I used mozzarella because that's what I had and as another suggested put a little nutritional yeast in for flavor as well as a quarter cup parmesan. I put everything together in the food processor until the machine was grumpy. No melting nothin' because that means another dish.

Looks like a winner!!

Thanks so much!!

So far the best we've tried! All of your recipes have been fantastic. Extra tip-- cook on the grill! We used small personal sized pans on the grill to pre-bake. Then after adding toppings placed on the Pizza stone, and for the last few minutes directly on the grill. Came out crispier than any other keto friendly dough to date. Thank you for sharing your recipes!

I didn’t have high hopes for this, I’ll admit...but boy, was I wrong!! No pork rind flavor at all, and it had the perfect crust texture! I made HALF a recipe, a great size for one. I didn’t time it, I baked till the bottom was lightly browned, then flipped it to bake the other side, then I topped with a layer of pepperoni, mozzarella, crumbled sausage, crumbled bacon, & sautéed green peppers, then baked to melt the cheese. After that, I sprinkled a pinch of powdered parmesan & my fave Italian seasoning - McCormick grinder...No sauce, which I’ll continue bc it didn’t even need it! I loved this so much! Thank you, I will absolutely make this again & again!

OMG! Made this today. Amazing!! I used a large rectangular pan, rolled out thin just the way I like it. Topped with little Pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella, and fresh tomatoes and Basil from my garden. Amazing is an Understatement!! Truly Delicious. Weird of warning though, so good it's hard to now eat it all. I'm so full yet want more. Thank You so very much for this recipe!!! Sharing with my Keto / Low Carb Friends.
