Bella’s Carnivore Pizza

Traditional keto pizzas often rely on almond flour or cauliflower, but this carnivore version uses ground chicken to create a surprisingly authentic "bread-like" texture. The secret is the double-bake method: first setting the protein crust at a moderate temperature, then cranking up the heat to crisp it before adding the toppings. Paired with a rich, homemade Alfredo sauce, it’s a decadent way to enjoy pizza night while staying strictly carnivore.

Instructions
 

  • The Crust
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • Optional seasonings: 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and salt to taste.
  • The Alfredo Sauce
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • Optional seasonings: 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  • Suggested Toppings
  • Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Pepperoni slices
  • Pre-cooked ground beef chunks
  • Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Mix the Crust: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the 1 lb of ground chicken, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese, and any optional crust seasonings. Mix by hand or with a sturdy spoon until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
  • Shape: Transfer the chicken mixture to the center of the prepared baking tray. Using a spatula or your hands (dampen them slightly to prevent sticking), spread the mixture very thin into a circle or rectangle. Aim for an even thickness to ensure uniform cooking.
  • First Bake: Bake the crust at 400°F for 25 minutes until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes to firm up.
  • Make the Alfredo Sauce: While the crust bakes, place a small saucepan over Low heat. Add the 1/4 cup butter, 1/2 cup heavy cream, and 1 cup parmesan cheese. Add optional seasonings if desired. Stir constantly for 3 to 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.
  • Top the Pizza: Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C). Spread a layer of the Alfredo sauce over the chicken crust, then add mozzarella and your chosen meat toppings.
  • Second Bake: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes until the cheese topping is melty and bubbly.
  • Crisp (Optional): For an extra crunchy texture, switch the oven to High Broil for 5 minutes at the very end. Watch closely to prevent the cheese from burning.
  • Serve: Allow the pizza to rest for 2–3 minutes before slicing with a pizza cutter.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 375°F for 3–5 minutes to regain the crust's texture.
