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.

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.
Thin Crust Low Carb Pizza
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.

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 :)
Low Calorie Flatbread Pizza Recipe
I am a huge fan of pizza... when dieting it’s so difficult to fit in foods like pizza that normally come with tons of calories & carbs. This recipe was super simple and tasted amazing! Definitely fixed the pizza craving.
I have been making pizza using this recipe since I first discovered it. It makes a delicious and crispy crust that works well with many different toppings. Making the dough perfect takes a little practice but once you get it right, you'll love it. The greek yogurt dough works for many other recipes as well.This is the Easiest Pizza Dough you’ll ever make! It literally takes less than ten minutes to make and it’s low calorie! Can you believe I’m even saying those things about a fresh made pizza?
First, Pre-heat the oven to 375. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray it with non-stick cooking spray. Next, combine 1 cup of Plain Non-Fat Greek Yogurt and 1 1/2 cups of Self-Rising Flour. Add 1 tsp of Garlic Powder and 1 tsp of Italian Seasoning. I mixed the dough by hand with a spatula.

Once it is fully mixed the consistency is a little less firm than other dough, but you really just need it to be able to hold form. Take the dough and transfer it to your parchment paper lined pan. You won’t be rolling it in a ball or anything, but it will hold shape enough to form a rectangle or circle. If for any reason it is too liquidy to hold form gradually add more flour until you reach the desired consistency.
Once you have it spread out to the desired shape you’ll place it in the oven and bake it for about 5 minutes. After the timer goes off you can take it out and top it with whatever you want!
At this point I added my pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella, yellow peppers, red peppers, chives, and spinach. I placed it in the oven for about 8 more minutes. Than, I removed it added my pre-sauteed sausage and brushed the side of the dough with olive oil.
Calorie Pizza For One
Than I placed it back in the oven for an additional 10 minutes. The dough should be a nice golden brown when it’s done. Let it cool for about 5-8 min before cutting.
I really love this pizza dough because it really is so simple and it’s a great base for whatever type of pizza you’re in the mood for.
Edited to add a couple of people have been asking me the calorie count on this one! It’s about 520 calories for the ENTIRE crust. So, compared to most store bought crusts which come in around 1, 120 calories..this easy low calorie pizza dough is about half the calories!
