![Top 5 Keto Pizza Crust Brands to Buy Online! [2020]](https://convenientketo.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Keto-Pizza-Crust.png)
Pizza is ubiquitous around the world and yet it’s probably the antithesis of what one would deem keto-friendly. So, what’s the culprit?
It’s not the cheese. Cheese adds great fat, flavor and ample amounts of protein.
So what does that leave?
(1) The sweet sauce and (2) the crispy/chewy crust! And since we’ve yet to come across a restaurant that has offered keto pizza crust options [UPDATE: Blaze Pizza now offers a keto crust], you’ll have to either make a keto pizza crust recipe yourself– not very convenient– or you can simply buy a keto pizza crust base. Yep, that’s a thing!
Below, we’ve put together a list of the top keto pizza crust options that you can buy online. These are some really easy and convenient options that will allow you to throw together a keto-friendly pizza in no time.
But first, sauce
Pizza sauce, marinara sauce, and all its tomato-based variants are a major source of sugar. You really have to be vigilant when reading a nutrition label to determine just how much sugar is present.
Pay attention to the serving size and how many servings there are per container– it can add up much more quickly than you’d think since tomatoes already have natural sugars, it’s best to go for the no sugar added option.
Our favorite pizza sauce is Rao’s Homemade Pizza Sauce, which comes in at 2g net carbs per 1/3 cup serving. There is no sugar added, so if you like sweeter sauces, you can easily mix in a very small amount of powdered stevia to taste.
The Criteria for a perfect Keto Pizza Crust:
We take pizza seriously! This is what we look for in keto pizza crust:
- Low net carbs: The total carbohydrates minus the sugar alcohols and dietary fiber.
- Low glycemic index/glycemic load ingredients as the main ingredients (things like almond flour).
- The taste can’t overpower the pizza toppings.
- The texture has to be an actual chewy crust (and crispy)!
- For example, Real Good Foods has pizza. But, the keto pizza crust chicken base is not pizza! I love them, they taste great, and are really low carb and keto-friendly– but it’s just not pizza! [UPDATE: They now carry a cauliflower crust pizza]
- You don’t have to make it yourself. The ubiquitous Fathead pizza crust is tasty but requires a decent amount of prep work.
Keto Pizza Toppings
This is the easy part. There aren’t a whole lot of typical pizza toppings that you can’t use to top off your keto pizza crust. Stick to your typical pepperoni, sausage, and non-starchy veggies and you should be just fine.
As a tip, these keto pizza crusts don’t hold together as well as your typical gluten-based crusts, so less is more when it comes to toppings. You don’t want to end up with a soggy mess.
That’s it! On to the list.

The Top 5 Keto Pizza Crusts
#1 Cali’flour Food’s Low Carb Cauliflower Pizza Crust
Cauliflower is such a versatile vegetable and it goes great in so many keto-friendly dishes. A lot of companies turned to cauliflower to make gluten-free and Paleo-friendly alternatives to popular flour-based foods. And most of them also turned out to be keto-friendly too!
A great keto pizza crust cauliflower variety is Cali’flour Cauliflower Pizza Crust (that was a mouthful). These come in a variety of flavors, our favorite of which is the Sweet Red Pepper, which adds some complex flavor to your pizza creations.
Cooking Tip: What we tend to find with cauliflower-based crusts is that they don’t get as crispy as other crusts. To combat this, you can pre-bake just the crust and then add the toppings and re-bake. You’ll also want to take it especially easy on sauce and toppings. The extra cooking time crisps up the cheese, resulting in a nice crispy keto pizza crust.
Here are the 4 Pizza Crust flavors that actually come in at a lower net carb count per gram than Liberated’s crusts. Since the second ingredient is cheese, you end up with a wonderful keto pizza cheese crust!

Added Bonus: these also fry up very well in avocado oil to make a calzone-like creation.
Only 4g net carbs per WHOLE pizza(74g)
Ingredients: Fresh Cauliflower, Eggs, Parmesan Cheese, Basil, Oregano, Garlic & Nutritional Yeast
#3 Mikey’s Low Carb Pizza Crust
Mikey’s is a popular Paleo brand, so we were glad to see that they sell a Low Carb Pizza Crust that you can buy online!
If you are doing Paleo (meaning no dairy) AND low carb, this is your best bet for pizza crust.
From a texture perspective, it was tough to get the entire pizza super crispy, though the edges did crisp up decently. The middle of the pizza crust ended up softer (likely from the egg and coconut flour) and was prone to crumbling.
In the end, we had a better experience treating our Mikey’s pizzas as a knife and fork affair.
Since we didn’t have to worry about being able to pick up the slices, we loaded up on our cheese (non-Paleo) and toppings (garlic, tomato chunks, chicken and alfredo sauce), and it turned into almost like some deep dish pizzas we’ve had before.
Availability:
- Online @ Amazon
- Brick and Mortar: Sprouts, Natural Grocers, Whole Foods Market
Nutrition: 16g net carbs pe
Ingredients: Water, eggs, almond flour, coconut flour, dehydrated onion, egg whites, garlic powder, baking soda, dried oregano, kosher salt.
#4 Liberated Pizza Crust
We love this crust because of the texture. It holds together the best out of all of the crusts on the list and you can get a really nice crispy texture from baking. Additionally, the taste does not overpower your toppings since almond flour has a very neutral taste.
Cooking Tip: Almond flour has a good amount of fat, you should line the pizza with parchment paper to catch any excess oil during cooking.
These make great little individual, flatbread-like pizzas. We love crispy pizza crust in general, so this is a big plus for us. Plus, this crust comes in at only 3g net carbs per WHOLE pizza (86g)!
We’ve have consistent issues finding these in stock anywhere, so that’s why it is lower on the list. But if you can find them (might be at your local Sprouts location), definitely give the crust a try!
Ingredients: Almond Flour (blanched), Organic Egg, Organic Extra-Virgin Olive Oil, Sea Salt, Oregano, Basil, Garlic
#5 ThinSlim Low Carb Pizza Crusts
I’m very sensitive to the “protein bar” aftertaste that’s difficult to describe but everyone seems to know the taste. Since these are made mainly with protein isolate, you do get that aftertaste. These have a lot of great natural ingredients but you will want to really overpower the taste with some strong toppings and sauce.
8g net carbs per WHOLE pizza(226g)
Nice post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a link on your web blog. Thanks for sharing.
