One sunny day, my family and I decided to have a picnic at the beach. We wanted to enjoy the taste of summer while staying healthy, so I made a delicious Keto Crustless Pizza. It was a refreshing recipe that reminded us of sunny days.
I packed all the ingredients and we set up our picnic blanket near the sparkling blue ocean. I started by making the pizza base with almond flour, eggs, and cheese. I spread a layer of tangy tomato sauce on top and sprinkled it with colorful veggies like bell peppers and cherry tomatoes.
While the pizza baked in the oven, we played in the sand and splashed in the waves. The smell of the pizza filled the air, making us all excited for our beach feast. When it was ready, we sat down together and enjoyed the warm, cheesy slices.
The Keto Crustless Pizza was a hit! It tasted so good, just like a traditional pizza, but without the heavy crust. We felt energized and refreshed, ready to continue our sunny beach day filled with laughter and fun.

Origins of Keto Crustless Pizza
Keto crustless pizza is a modern adaptation of the traditional pizza, which originated in Naples, Italy. The classic Neapolitan pizza is known for its thin, crispy crust topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and various toppings. However, the concept of a crustless pizza is relatively new and emerged as a result of the growing popularity of low carb and ketogenic diets.
Best Time to Enjoy Keto Crustless Pizza
Keto crustless pizza can be enjoyed all year round, as it does not rely on specific seasonal ingredients. However, it can be particularly satisfying during the summer months when fresh vegetables like tomatoes, bell peppers, and basil are abundant. This allows you to create a vibrant and flavorful pizza using the freshest ingredients available.
Perfect Food Pairings with Keto Crustless Pizza
Keto crustless pizza pairs well with a variety of dishes and beverages. For a well-rounded meal, consider serving it with a side salad dressed with a light vinaigrette or a refreshing cucumber and mint yogurt dip. Additionally, a glass of dry red wine or a sparkling water infused with lemon or lime can complement the flavors of the pizza. For those following a low carb or ketogenic diet, consider serving it with a cauliflower rice pilaf or zucchini noodles.
Tips and Tricks to Prepare Keto Crustless Pizza
- Use a non-stick skillet or a well-greased baking dish to prevent the pizza from sticking.
- Experiment with different cheese blends to enhance the flavor of the pizza. Try a combination of mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan.
- If you prefer a crispier texture, broil the pizza for a few minutes after baking to brown the cheese and toppings.
- Feel free to customize the toppings according to your preference. Add your favorite vegetables, meats, or herbs to create a personalized pizza experience.

Ingredients
- Black Olives (8 medium)
- Salami (4 medium slice – 3 1/8" diameter x 1/16" – each 0.4 ounce)
- Cheddar Cheese (1 cup, grated)
- Mozzarella Cheese (1 cup, grated)
- Oregano, Dried (1 teaspoon)
- Basil, Fresh (1 tablespoon)
- Tomato Sauce (¼ cup)
Instructions
- Select a medium oven proof skillet. Scatter the grated cheddar across the base of the skillet creating an even layer. Heat the skillet over a medium heat to melt the cheese together. Once the cheese has melted together in a uniform layer, remove from the heat to cool and firm a little.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spoon the passata (tomato sauce) over the cheese base and spread evenly across the cheese in an even layer. Scatter the grated mozzarella across the top of the passata in an even layer.
- Arrange the slices of salami across the pizza. Slice the olives in half and scatter over the pizza. Sprinkle over the dried oregano.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven to bake for 10 minutes until golden and bubbling. The cheese should be melted and the salami hot through. Set aside for 5 minutes or so to cool and firm. Scatter with fresh basil. Once cooked but still warm, the pizza can be sliced and served.
