If you’ll allow me to slightly exaggerate, I’ve made low calorie pizza a thousand different ways in my lifetime. Since the crust is the usually the first modification, cauliflower, ground chicken, low carb pitas and flatbreads, and even straight parmesan cheese have graced my table as pizza crust.
But none hold a flame to the pizza crust in this recipe. Largely because it’s a flour based crust that’s like real-deal thin and crispy pizza crust.
Okay, to be honest, the crust isn’t a terribly novel idea. It seems like almost everyone and their mama have tried a variation of 2-ingredient dough whether it’s in bagel, pretzel, or crust form.
Healthy Pizza Recipes That Are So Tasty You'll Ditch Delivery
The real magic of this crust recipe is in the baking method. You’ll mix the dough (by hand or in a food processor), roll it out, and bake it in a super hot oven with oil brushed on top to get a crispy bottom and golden brown top before adding the toppings.
If you’d like a short cut, simply add the flour and Greek yogurt to a food processor for 10-15 seconds until crumbly. Then you can use your hands to press everything together.
I use a small hand roller that makes holding one end of the dough easy. You can find the hand roller on my Amazon tools list if you’re interested.

If you don’t have a food processor, you can start mixing everything together with a fork and finish with your hands. Check out the video of my air fryer pizza below for an example of this and pressing the dough with your hands instead of using a rolling pin.
You’ll notice the recipe card has a range of flour to use. I originally published this pizza crust recipe with the higher end. But after making my buffalo chicken empanadas, I wanted to update with the option for both.
There’s only a 1/4 cup or 30 gram difference, but the lower end makes a slightly softer crust (still crispy on the outside) and the higher end makes an extra crispy crust.

This crust is meant to be thin and crispy but if you wanted a bit more rise, you could add a little baking powder like in my cheesy garlic air fryer bread or copycat Domino’s bread twists recipes
This low calorie pizza crust is truly a blank canvas, but I’ve taken the liberty of showing you one of my favorite pizza topping combos of all time.
If you’ve never tried a pink sauce, you’re in for a treat! It’s a mixture of a tomato sauce and, in this case, a lower fat alfredo sauce. You’re left with a creamy, tangy sauce that goes perfectly with the saltiness of pepperoni and spice of jalapeño should you go that route.
Simple Vegan Pizza
For the cheese, I like using a mixture of mozzarella and parmesan. The mozzarella melts really well and creates that stringy cheese pull you’d expect from pizza. And the parmesan, especially the top layer, gives a slight crunch and crisp texture difference. Yum!
Feel free to add any veggies or other toppings you’d like. Keep in mind, however, the crust will be baked ahead of toppings going on. So if you use completely raw veggies, you’ll want to cook them a bit in advance or pull the crust out early to add the toppings.
If you want some more protein topping ideas, check out the creamy egg mixture in my breakfast pizza or my pulled pork pizza. My Instant Pot BBQ pulled chicken and buffalo chicken dip would go great on a pizza as well.

I mentioned an almond flour crust above. It’s a larger crust that will reduce the carbs a bit and create a larger pizza. Here’s what I used:

This was so good. I made it for my husband who hates healthy stuff but he actually loved it. Tip, do not use wax paper, ours stuck right to the crust the first time.
I tried this with wholemeal flour to make it a bit better for us. And the came out lovely. I really need to buy a rolling pun to make it thiner but I was really impressed with the cripsy crust. Lovely will be making again. Fitness pal didn't scream at me when I entered it ha!
I love this pizza! My fiancé and I just split the recipe in half to make our own pizzas. I like the works for my toppings and he likes his ff cheese pepperoni and pineapples 🤷🏻♀️ I enjoy a good thing crust pizza every now and then but masons 2 ingredient pizza is good for that more filling dough pizza. All masons pizzas are amazing but it just depends what you’re looking for :)

Once you have a dough ball, wrap it with parchment paper, preheat the oven to 550 degrees Fahrenheit (285°C), and let the dough rest next to the oven as it heats up.
Low Calorie Pizza Crust: A 3 Ingredient Recipe For Thin And Crispy Crust
When the oven reaches 500 degrees, lay out a large piece of parchment paper on a flat surface and coat your hands and a rolling pin with flour over the paper.
Then unwrap the dough from the plastic wrap, rub some of the flour from your hands onto it, and lay the dough down on the piece of parchment paper to create a lightly floured surface.
Next, use the rolling pin to roll the dough out until it reaches around 10 inches in diameter. When it does, make a small indent with a 7-inch bowl on the top of the dough. Then roll the extra dough - outside the indent - towards the center to form the crust.

After that, use your hands to flatten and shape the crust - you'll want to work the crust outwards to get it to be about 9 inches in diameter.
First, use a basting brush to cover the crust with olive oil and remove any excess parchment paper from around the dough.
Then put the crust with the parchment paper underneath on a pizza tray or baking sheet and bake the crust for around 3-4 minutes.
