This Fathead Pizza is a low carb alternative for pizza cravings during keto, or great if you simply want to cut down on carbs. I share some tips for how to make the dough surprisingly easy to work with, and really delicious. This recipe is done in 15 minutes!
I first discovered Fathead Pizza when I did the Keto diet for the first time about a year ago. I was telling a friend about how I missed my comfort foods, and she told me I had to try Fathead pizza.That’s not a name you forget!
Of course it’s not a real Semolina Pizza Dough, but with the cheese and toppings, you don’t really notice. This still passes the test as one of the kids’ favorite foods, and they are plenty happy on pizza night.

It’s better than other alternative crusts – I’ve tried all the unconventional flour-free crusts out there, from cauliflower pizza crust to chicken crust pizza, and I think this fathead pizza crust is the best by far.
I’ve done many rounds of recipe testing – I played with ratios and ingredients from the original recipe for a full year. From the order in which I incorporate the ingredients and how I bake it, this is the final version that has become a somewhat regular treat for my family. It’s the ultimate keto pizza crust!
The dough is easy to work with – It’s surprisingly crust-like and easy to roll. I also include the weights for all the ingredients in case you have a scale (affiliate), as measuring is a little easier that way.

Use the right mozzarella – Here you’ll want to use the bagged and shredded “part-skim” mozzarella and not the fresh stuff that comes in a ball. Also, if you find yourself making this often, I suggest doing a taste test of the brands at your grocery and seeing which one tastes the best. I was absolutely astonished by how much more flavorful some of them were than others. Some were like tasteless shreds of rubber, while others had sweet dairy richness.
Work quickly – Because the dough is made with so much cheese, its texture will change as it cools. So have everything ready to go so you can execute the recipe.
Have any toppings ready – If you’re adding toppings that need to be pre-cooked, have that all ready to go before you start the recipe. Pre-saute peppers, mushrooms, or whatever you need.

The photo in the left below is after one 30 second interval, and on the right you can see that it doesn’t look like it will come together, but trust me, it will!
Add blanched almond flour (and not almond meal, which tends to be more coarse), garlic powder, salt, and nutritional yeast to the dough:
Stir that around, and you’ll see on the photo below on the left, that it will probably become hard to stir at some point.

That’s when you should pop the dough back into the microwave for another 15-30 seconds, just enough to soften the cheese again (see below on the right):
At first it will seem that the egg won’t incorporate, but if you knead it for about 30 seconds, either with a firm spatula or by hand, the dough will accept that egg:
You can either do a big rectangle, a big circle, or even multiple circles for individual pizzas. Whatever shape you choose, I recommend making a thin crust pizza for best results.

Keeping your keto pizza dough rounds or rectangle on the bottom piece of parchment paper, transfer to a baking sheet, or your pizza pan of choice.
A pizza stone is great if you have one, and is the best way to get the most crispy crust. If you’re using one, there is no need to keep the dough on the parchment.
After 7 minutes in the oven, the crust should be slightly golden on the bottom, and just starting to brown on the edges.
Delicious Keto Pizza Crust Recipes You Just Have To Try!
Today I’m doing tomato sauce, cheese, and pepperoni, but you may like to try Buffalo Chicken Pizza toppings, or Caramelized Pear and Gorgonzola Pizza on top.
You will notice that the more “raw” side from before will now brown perfectly on the bottom, and the cheese on top should be melted with another 5 minutes in the oven:
Fathead Pizza is best served while it’s piping hot, while the cheese is melty and gooey. If you wait until it cools too much, it will start to get a bit rubbery and firm. So enjoy promptly, and I recommend only making as much as you’ll think you’ll enjoy, though I share instructions for storing leftovers below.

**I love the flavor of nutritional yeast, so I add it for both flavor and also to fortify the dough with vitamins (I buy Bragg’s brand).

The original recipefor fathead pizza comes from the Fathead movie, a 2009 documentary seeking to refute the lipid hypothesis.

Numerous studies have debunked the claim (thisis a good scientific paper on the subject citing many sources).
