Such a great recipe! Hubby and I made it tonight! So delicious! Did not use pepperoni but used mild sausage and bacon! Thank you!

I struggled for a long time trying to find a keto/low carb pizza crust that is even close to the real thing. Best thing I have tried yet? Almond flower crust. It’s cripsy. It really is yummy. It’s as close to real crust as you are gonna get. But it takes a lot of time to make. So, tortilla pizza is a good easy weeknight night option. Especially with the new uber low carb totilla options on the market.

i just finished eating this and it was very good. I used a La Tortilla Factory high fiber low carb whole wheat tortilla. I had a jar of no sugar added low fat vodka pasta sauce so used it. I did spray the tortilla both sides with olive oil spray and cook it first till crispy and brown then topped with sauce, cheese and pepperoni. Yum

DJ-- My dad has been in the pizza business for over 30 years. I grew up in it. Our thin crust dough was a modified tortilla recipe.

The best tortilla shell pizza I have made so far is as follows:

Mission Low Carb Tortilla shell (6net carbs)
Tomato Sauce (desired spices. I like a little garlic powder, basil, and oregano)
Mozzarella Cheese - shredded (or fresh, still wet!)
Pepperoni (I prefer it to have a smaller "grain" look to it, with less fat/grease)

Preheat oven to 400-450 (with convection/fan if available). Works best on mesh screen or pizza screen (if available).
Precook tortilla in oven to crisp lightly on both sides.
Take out of oven and place on mesh/screen. Add sauce, spices, half serving cheese, lay pepperoni as desired, add other half of cheese serving on top, and then cook to desired crispness.
Additional toppings as desired, adjust for extra cooking time. As a pizza connoisseur, I'm pretty pleased with this method. I tired a different low carb shell, and it was disgusting. (Though I prefer that one for tacos, crazy!)

If you're afraid of spreading, always place pepperoni and cheese a little further in so that when it melts, it doesn't melt all over the oven.
Good luck!

A nice little trick ... and a fast way to get a crispy thin crusted pie. Thanks for sharing your technique! :)

Hi there! love you site, thanks. I realize this comment is a year past the others but I have to say that I make pizza crust from whoopsie bread dough. I spice it up and add some parm cheese. Everyone in the neighbourhood has tried and loved it. They also like the zucchini dough. Even my son likes them both. Don’t be shy! It really can be picked up like a piece of pizza.

Thanks, Paula! I’ve personally never been a big fan of Whoopsie dough, but … I also realize it’s enormously popular and people love that stuff. I’ve also never tried zucchini batter, but … I know people who have and swear by it. I recently just made some from hazelnut meal and flax and was actually blown away by it … I think it’ll be my new favorite! (recipe … incoming … soon … 😀 ) Great comments. Thanks, again! 🙂

Yep, Unknown … there were a lot of votes for Joseph’s flatbread. I’m going to have to find some and check it out!

Good ideas, Margaret! I’d actually never heard of the "Flat Out" breads until earlier … Someone on Facebook commented that it’s got a higher sugar content and to use "Josephs", instead. I can’t find the comment, but … I just thought I’d throw that out there. I believe there may be slightly better alternatives … Just a thought. Thanks for the ideas! 😀

Thanks for all of your great recipes! We make our pizza much the same way- but we put the cheese down first, then the toppings then a spoonful here and there of sauce. It doesn’t get soggy. We also enjoy the Flatout wraps- very substantial and tasty.
Keep your recipes coming- I really need to get back to what I know works….
