Keto Ranch Pizza Recipe

This keto pizza recipe is the ultimate in low carb comfort food. A cheese-based crust piled up with ranch dressing, shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, and even more cheese. Yes, please!

How to make keto pizza

You might have thought the pizza was off-limits on the low-carb keto diet, but not with this recipe. Instead of using a high-carb flour-based crust, you’ll make a simple crust using the following ingredients:

• Mozzarella cheese
• Cream cheese
• Egg
• Almond flour

You’ll pop the mozzarella cheese and the cream cheese in the microwave.

It all melts together and gets nice and smooth, like this:

Then you’ll stir in the egg and almond flour. I personally find it easiest to just use my hands to knead everything together quickly.

You’ll spread the dough on a baking sheet, and pre-bake it for a few minutes without toppings. Then you can remove it, add your toppings, and finish baking!

In this case, I’m going with bacon chicken ranch pizza toppings. Here’s what you’ll need for those toppings:

• Ranch dressing
• Bacon
• Shredded or chopped cooked chicken
• More mozzarella cheese

Spread the ranch on the crust as your sauce. Then top it all off with the bacon, chicken, and mozzarella. SO easy and SO good!

Helpful tips

• You’ll want to have pre-cooked chicken on hand so that this recipe comes together quickly. I find it easiest to just grab a rotisserie chicken at the store to use on the days I make this recipe.
• If you want to cook chicken breast yourself the day of, you can definitely do so instead. You can put chicken breast in the slow cooker for a few hours until cooked and shredded, or you can poach a chicken breast in water or broth on the stovetop and then shred it later. Or another option, you can grill the chicken until cooked and chop it up. Totally your choice!
• Be sure to use parchment paper on your baking sheet, otherwise, I’ve had some issues with the crust sticking. I have also made this with a silicone baking mat, but I find it works best on parchment paper for getting the right texture.
• Speaking of texture, the pizza crust will not be quite as crisp as a normal flour-based pizza crust – but it will still have a good bite to it and taste amazing! (It should not be mushy, it’s just not going to be thin-crust style).
• Lastly – this tastes best after cooling for a few minutes right from the oven. But if you have leftovers, you can easily store them in the fridge and pop them in the microwave to reheat for a meal within 4-5 days.

Macronutrient breakdown

The meal has a good macronutrient breakdown for those of you following a keto diet. You’ll get 67.5% of calories from fat, 4.5% of calories from carbohydrates, and 28% of calories from protein.

There are only 5 grams of net carbs in one serving of this recipe.

Other keto pizza toppings:

I can’t get enough of this bacon chicken ranch pizza, but you can also just make the crust and use your other favorite toppings! Here are a few ideas for other combinations (keep in mind some may be a bit higher in carbs than others, but all should fall in line with being relatively low in net carbs):

• Tomato sauce, pepperoni, and mozzarella
• Pesto, parmesan, mozzarella, and spinach
• Alfredo, broccoli, and chicken
• Keto-friendly BBQ sauce, chicken, red onion, and mozzarella
• Tomato sauce, ground beef, cheddar cheese, lettuce (like a cheeseburger)
• Blackberries, mozzarella, ricotta, parmesan, and basil (sounds strange but delicious)
• Hot sauce, chicken, mozzarella or blue cheese

I hope you love this keto pizza as much as I do. If you get a chance to try it, be sure to leave a recipe rating or comment. Happy eating!
