Pin This RecipeThis pizza is low-carb and gluten free. For me, that usually translates into no taste, but this was really good! The “crust” is made with cream cheese, eggs and parmesan cheese. It doesn’t sound like it would work, but it does. You can make the crust ahead of time if you are pressed for time. It can be stored in the refrigerator or in the freezer. We were really surprised at how good this pizza was. We both really enjoyed it, and actually didn’t miss the traditional crust. It is definitely going in the rotation for pizza night.
Where’s The Crust Pizza
Ingredients:
- 1 (8-oz) package of full fat cream cheese, room temperature
- 2 eggs

- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- favorite pizza toppings
- 1/4 tsp Garlic powder
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Lightly spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray.
- With a handheld mixer, mix cream cheese, eggs, pepper, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese until combined. Spread into a baking dish.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow crust to cool for 10 minutes.

Notes:
This is not a crispy pizza crust. I will be firm but soft.

Thank you for sharing this recipe-I made this pizza last night and it's delicious! I really couldn't wrap my mind around an egg and cream cheese based crust-but I followed the advice of another comment and baked it a little longer. Today the leftover refrigerated pizza is even tastier, and the crust is even more like "bread". Yum!! Will make again for sure!
This is a wheat free recipe – it is not a healthy meal, nor would it promote weight loss. But it certainly looks like a good idea for those who are gluten intolerant and crave pizza occasionally.
Actually this is a healthy meal. You are under the assumption that a diet high in saturated fat causes heart disease. The research now says that a diet high in refined carbohydrates/sugar is the culprit not the fat. Yes, it would promote weight loss.a diet high in fat, moderate in protein, and low in carbs lowers the insulin response. Insulin drives fat storage. So yes it is healthy.
Loved the pizza and so easy to make. Here's my question – What's the serving size? 1 square? 2?
I just made this with low fat cream cheese it was awesome! I left the "crust" in the oven for about 19mins and let it cool for about 20mins. Other than that I followed it exactly. Even my 4 year old loved it.
WOW Cannot wait to try this too! Was sooooooooooooooooooooooooo glad I saw this today too! Thank you!
Made this for dinner and it was amazing.

I'm going to have to try this! Ya know, another person commented that the taste reminded them of lasagna. You know when you're low carbing it and dying for lasagna? Do you suppose this could be rolled out thin and used for lasagna "noodles'"? Maybe if the dried a bit or were put in a low temp oven? I'm gonna have to play around with this when I'm at that phase if my diet where I can add this stuff again. Thanks for the recipe!
I have to tell u… this is one of my most loved recipes..ever! i dream of this… i am a weight loss surgery person and i make large amounts of this just so i can eat it for breakfast lunch ect for days!!! i am making tonight and can not wait! by the way this is one of my most loved recipe blogs 🙂 u are wonderful!! i pin things and it keeps bringing me back here ..we must have similar taste in food 🙂
Just made this tonight and it is really good. When I compare it to the cauliflower pizza crust this one wins hands down!! I have an OLD oven so I had to bake it longer but it was tasty. I can't have gluten or yeast or sugar so this one's a keeper!! I might try to use it as a base for other dishes, too!
My daughter is on the Ketogenic diet and I think she will love love love this!!!! I can not wait to try this out of her!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you!
Great diabetic option! Especially for those who are trying to avoid being a slave to the needle.
Hi love your site. Tried this, tasted great but crust too soft (even with full fat cream cheese)
Someone suggested baking the crust then putting it in the fridge to get the sufficient hardness. Then put on the toppings and re-oven.

I made this and thought it was great! My husband loved it too. I had to bake the "crust" a lot longer than the directions stated though….
This was good.
Made this tonight and it was DELISH!! I live in Africa as a missionary, and didn't have cream cheese available to make it. I substituted Laughing Cow cheese (which can be found in the states too). Even though it is much lower in fat, it turned out perfectly! Thanks for a great recipe!
Thank you for what you do! Our Wonderful Lord will greatly bless you!
