Flourless Pizza
I love pizza but do not want the carbs.
I have made meatza several times and love it, but I wanted something more like traditional pizza. I don’t like using nut flours so this was a challenge.
I love my Garlic Bread made with egg whites, so I thought I would try to make pizza with and egg white based crust.
It tasted amazing!
I have deep dish pizza pans I bought at Aldi’s and I love them.
Zero Carb Egg White Pizza
A great pizza alternative using egg whites for the crust - just like traditional pizza without the carbs
Servings: 2
Calories: 431kcal
Ingredients
- 6 egg whites
- 27 grams egg white protein powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp gelatin
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 oz pepperoni
- 4 oz mozzarella cheese
- 8 TBS tomato sauce
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the egg whites, egg white powder, gelatin, garlic powder, oregano, and salt.
- With a hand mixer, whip the egg whites until they form a stiff peak
- Grease 2 pizza pans or parchment paper on a baking sheet
- Divide the egg white mixture into 2 pizza crusts
- Spread the egg whites as thin as possible
- Bake the pizza crusts in 400 F for 10 minutes
- Remove from oven and flip the crusts over
- Top each crust with 4 TBS tomato sauce - all the way to the edge so the crust does not become hard
- Add cheese and pepperoni - and any other toppings you choose
- Return to oven for 5-10 minutes until the cheese melts
- Remove to cutting board and slice
- Enjoy!
Notes
The majority of the carbs come from the tomato sauce - overall a very low carb meal.
I have the whole pizza as being a serving, but half of one pizza may be enough for a serving.

Can these be frozen? I would want to make smaller pizza crusts for single serving & then freeze the other single pizzas.
I haven’t tried freezing them yet but had planned to – I might do that today and see how it works out. I am assuming freezing will be fine. It would be helpful to have them already made and just take out as you need them
I can’t find rgg whit protein powder. Can I use liquid egg whites instead? If so, how much should I use?
It is readily available in the US and even other countries – where are you located.
The egg white powder helps give the crust some body – without it, you are really making merengue
I am not sure how this would be without the egg white powder
I don’t find that where I live, in the Sierra foothills of California, but I do have unflavored protein powder. Can I use that?

I get my egg white powder at either Walmart or Amazon – There are plenty of good brands out there and free delivery.
I do not know what protein powder you have or if it will work as a substitute
It actually turned out great with Isopure Zero carb protein, unfavored.
glad it worked out
Hi, love the loaf made from this similar recipe. Looking forward to trying it as pizzA crust. What size of pizza crusts does this make please?
my pizza pans were 12 inch – I will be trying with 9 inch to freeze for later use
I’m confused about the serving size … so this recipe makes two servings but the macros are for one pizza ?
the recipe makes 2 pizzas. the macros are for 1 pizza
It was fantastic! So much better than fathead crust. Witch I find too filling with fat.tI added peppers, sausage and olives, ate ony 2 pieces. I made the recipe into one very large 18 inch pizza. Thanks for posting. my new go to pizza crust. wish I could send a picture it was fabulous!
I love it too. I am going to make smaller ones to freeze so there are always ready when I want one.
Making a larger crust is a great idea too – thanks
I really liked this and will be making it again! I used Raos for the sauce and the toppings also included onion and ground beef chunks. I agree with another reviewer here that I like this better than fathead crust. When I put the pizza back in the oven with the toppings, I had it in there a decent amount of time…waiting until the cheese started to get some brown on it. Thanks!
My whole family loved this! Even my picky son! It’s a keeper! Thank you!
This turned out great! Even my non Keto husband who’s parents used to own a pizza restaurant said he would eat this with me. He did say he would like it better if the bottom of the crust was crisper but I thought it was just fine.
