Origins of Keto Crustless Pizza:
The origins of Keto Crustless Pizza can be traced back to the growing popularity of the ketogenic diet, which emphasizes low-carb and high-fat meals. As people began to look for creative ways to enjoy their favorite dishes while adhering to this diet, the idea of a crustless pizza emerged. By eliminating the traditional pizza crust made from flour, this recipe offers a low-carb alternative that satisfies pizza cravings without compromising on taste.
Best Time to enjoy Keto Crustless Pizza:
Keto Crustless Pizza can be enjoyed at any time of the year. Its simplicity and flexibility make it a versatile dish that can be customized to suit different tastes and dietary preferences.

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.
