Pin This RecipeI have a serious weakness for pizza. It is my deserted island food. I can’t live without it! This Crazy Crust Pizza is a new favorite! The crust is crazy because it is a liquid batter and not a dough. Very different and VERY good!! The crust batter and toppings are baked together and then the pizza is topped with sauce and cheese. I have to admit that I was skeptical, but it turned out great!
We topped our Crazy Crust Pizza with sausage, pepperoni and ham. Feel free to use your favorite pizza toppings. Sometimes I add mushrooms and peppers to half of the pizza for Chicken Legs. Get creative!!
I made this Crazy Crust Pizza in a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan. You can also use the same recipe to make this in a 12 or 14-inch round-rimmed pizza pan. I don’t have a rimmed pizza pan, so I used the jelly roll pan. This makes a thin crust pizza. We prefer thin crust, so this is perfect!
We LOVED this pizza. I’ve been making it weekly for the past month, and I still can’t get enough of it!! SO good. It is our new “go-to” recipe for pizza night! SO much better than takeout!
Here are our favorite store-bought pizza sauces. If you prefer homemade pizza sauce try our Homemade Pizza Sauce or our No-Cook Pizza Sauce.

I remember this crust from the 70s. It was on the Pillsbury commercials.It turns out pretty well and uses the same concept as the German oven pancake or Dutch baby.I want to try it with my Food class next semester.
oh, my yes!!! i grew up on crazy crust pizza!! i am so happy to find this again
Do you put any sauce on it? I am looking forward to trying it!
Yes – step 5
yes, of course. Bake crust with pepperoni and sausage first. Then add sauce and cheese and bake till cheese melts or browns.
Any good substitutes for the eggs? I'm super wanting to try this but cannot have eggs.
The eggs would primarily act as the leavening agent here (think German pancakes/ Dutch baby recipes) so unless there is an egg substitute that can replicate that property then, no. The comment below recommending banana or applesauce as an egg substitute should NOT be used in this case – it's only a good substitute in sweet baked goods (like muffins) where the eggs are for binding and moisture. Banana-flavored pizza crust would not be very pleasant.
Was wondering how I might be able to make this into a breakfast pizza? Sub gravy for the sauce, but how to put eggs on it? Any suggestions?
Since the egg is a binding agent as well as making this dough rise the bit it does I'd suggest using a flax egg and 1/2-1 tsp baking powder to add that rise back in. I'm not very familiar with flax egg substitutes but it's just a bit of flax seed and water. It works well as a binding agent the way eggs do but I'm pretty sure it doesn't help things rise
Is 1 cup of flour correct?
I'd suggest 1 flax egg to use as well as 1/2-1 tsp baking powder. The flax egg is used for many vegan recipes that use egg, such as cookies. It adds no real flavour, and the baking powder will give you the rise that eggs provide.
The recipe sounds crazy and i can't wait to try it out on Monday! Just curious if i could use an alfredo sauce instead of pizza (tomato based) sauce. I'd like to make it with grilled chicken and jalapenos!
I don't see why not. Sounds delicious!
Can I use bisquick instead of flour?
I have never tried this recipe with Bisquick, so I can not say how it will turn out.
Can you sub almond flour ?
I was wondering about almond or coconut flour, or s combination of both instead of flour.
Made this today and only had pepperoni as topping – very thin when using 15X10 sheet pan. Delicious! Will make again and try using a smaller pan for thicker crust. So quick and easy. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
How do you keep it from sticking to the pan? I sprayed it with Pam
To be honest, I wasn’t too sure this was going to be a success. Happily, it turned out amazing – I used a 9X13 jellyroll pan, so it was thin crust.
I will definitely be making this again – my husband & I lived it.
Can you freeze or reheat this Pizza as there are only the two of us? I am eager to try this one as my husband loves pizza but is very picky
I think it would be fine to freeze the leftovers and reheat for later.
Could this be used for breakfast pizza???
I don’t see why not! Enjoy!
The recipe ingredients could easily be cut in half for a smaller size pizza too 🙂
Could you use almond flour instead to make it lower carb?
Yes you can freeze it. I made it and had leftovers, as I am only feeding myself when the grandkids aren’t here. I freeze slices singly, wrapped in plastic wrap. You can microwave from frozen or pop into a dry, covered skillet on medium heat for 7 to 10 minutes from frozen. Tastes freshly made
Love the crust, and the grandkids always ask for it. Good way to add protein to their diet too. I always make it in a round nonstick pizza pan (by Wilton). I still spray it. Nothing ever sticks.
This is very interesting and we need to give it a try.
If you add mushrooms and peppers to your pizza, when do you add them? Do you precook them at all? Thanks. Anxious to try this recipe!
Add them when you would add the other meat toppings. You can precook them if you prefer
Would whole wheat flour work?
I have only made this as written. As always, please use your best judgment regarding substitutions and modifications.
I would precook them to get the moisture out of them. Especially mushrooms. You don't want a soggy pizza!
The temperature is high enough and the cooking time is long enough that any “water” will evaporate. But, it also is determined by how thick you’re cutting everything. I like to keep everything in the 1/4” thickness! And remember if your pizza is too greasy for your taste, take a napkin/paper towel and dab the top of the grease floating on top!!!
I love pizza so I have got to try this !,
I'm surprised there is only 1 tsp Italian seasoning, does the pizza crust have much flavor?
Feel free to adjust seasonings to your preference. Most pizza crusts don’t have any seasoning.
I add a lil onion n garlic powder to my crust, it give it more flavor!!
I forgot to add that I doubled that I doubled the crust recipe to make a deep dish pizza!! N the cake pan that I used was rectangular not circular circular.
How much longer did you bake before thesauce?
Is it similar to a thin crust style pizza? If not like cake or pancake how would you describe it?
Tbh, it depends on what kind of pan you use, my first time I used a cake pan, n there was barely enough crust to cover the whole pan, so it ended up being a thin crust pizza. My second try I used my Pampered Chef round backing stone, n it ended up being a deep dish pizza, which was excellent!!
I’m intrigued…I’ll have to give it a whirl! 🙂
We were pleasantly surprised! Enjoy!
Does the “crust” have more of a cake like consistency…like a pancake, maybe?
I wouldn’t describe it as a cake or pancake.
OK – I have to try this – it sounds easy!!! yummers!
Would this work for a plain cheese pizza?
Absolutely
Did you really ask this question??
Question – Is there no leavening agent? yeast?
Thanks!
No yeast
This is just really awesome pizza and quick, easy. Thanks, I didn't think it would be that good but it is!!!
Sam – I will never steer you wrong with pizza! It is my favorite food! SO glad you took a chance and gave it a try.
