Ingredients Needed for Carnivore Pizza Crust

- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional for flavor)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Substitution Tips

- Weight Watchers Chicken Crust - Use a fat free mozzarella chicken to make each slice 1 point.
- For strict carnivore: omit the herbs and spices and just use chicken, egg, and Parmesan (if tolerated).
- Want it crispier? Swap Parmesan for finely shredded mozzarella.

How to Make Carnivore Pizza Crust
Step 1 Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 2 Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, shredded mozzarella cheese, eggs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 3 Form the Crust: Transfer the chicken mixture to the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands or a spatula to flatten and shape the mixture into a round or rectangular pizza crust, about ¼-inch thick.
Step 4 Bake the Crust: Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is firm and lightly golden brown.
Step 5 Add Toppings: Once the crust is cooked, remove it from the oven and add your favorite carnivore-friendly toppings such as more cheese and cooked meats like pepperoni, sausage, or bacon.
Return the crust with toppings to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve and Enjoy: Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, slice, and enjoy your carnivore pizza!
This simple yet satisfying pizza crust is perfect for those who are focusing on a protein-rich diet while still enjoying the flavors of a classic pizza.
Pro Tips
- Use wet hands to shape the crust — the mixture is sticky!
- You can prebake the crust in advance and freeze it for easy meal prep.
- To get a crispier texture, use a pizza stone or cast iron pan instead of a baking sheet.
- Allow the pizza to cool slightly before slicing to help maintain its shape and make serving easier.
- While traditional pizza toppings are welcome, consider adding nutrient-rich meats like liver or organ meats for a nutritional boost.
Serving Suggestions
Pair it with a side of bone broth or a small steak for the ultimate carnivore meal. If you're a relaxed carnivore, a sugar-free marinara or drizzle of garlic butter can take this to the next level.
