Description
New York‑Style Low-Carb Pizza is a delicious, thin-crust pizza with all the classic flavor—crispy, cheesy, and satisfying without the carbs.
Ingredients
Crust:
1½ cups almond flour
1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 oz cream cheese
1 large egg
½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Low-Carb Sauce:
1 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup crushed tomatoes (no sugar added)
½ tsp dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Toppings:
1 cup shredded mozzarella
¼ cup grated Parmesan
Optional: pepperoni, mushrooms, spinach, olives, red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt mozzarella and cream cheese for about 45–60 seconds. Stir until smooth.
Add almond flour, egg, baking powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix into a dough.
Roll or press the dough into a 12-inch circle on the prepared pan.
Bake the crust for 8–10 minutes, until golden and set.
While the crust bakes, heat olive oil in a pan. Sauté garlic for 1 minute, then add tomatoes, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5–10 minutes until slightly thickened.
Spread sauce over the baked crust, then top with mozzarella, Parmesan, and optional toppings.
Bake for another 6–8 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
Let cool slightly, slice, and enjoy warm
