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.

I am on WW so I was afraid to see how many points it would be. If prepared by instructions using all regular, not fat-free products, divide 9×13 baker into six servings points are only 7 per serving. YAY! Happy Dance.
I made this and it came out good. The crust was soft, so I am putting it in the fridge tonight and re-heating tomorrow. Should come out nice and crispy.
My daughter also loved it! I would like to try a smaller pan for a thicker crust, or double the ingredients 🙂
My husband and I make this too and we are devoted fans! It's amazing, I don't miss the crust at all.
I'm eating this as I type. Very good. I made it as directed. Perfect for anyone on low carb, or avoiding gluten. Good job, Steph!
Actually Jeanne, this recipe will promote weight loss, when used on a low carb diet.
Do a bit of research before you throw inaccurate info out there. Fat is not unhealthy – grains are.
"Jeanne said…
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."
You are absolutely right Candace. On a low carbohydrate diet that is high in fat you are actually decreasing your risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and Alzheimer's! And the body is able to burn its own fat to decrease body fat percentage. Check out the book Good Calories Bad Calories by Gary Taubes and "Grain Brain" by neurologist Dr. Pearlmutter.
Made with Neufchatel cream cheese worked just fine. Oven quit working so I microwaved it. It came out really good, Just one soft spot. I cut up the crust and put it in the fridge, then put on toppings on for lunch and dinner (taco Pizza) and nuked awesome. Just kept nuking it till It looked done, couple min at a time.
I was just wondering if you knew how many carbs would be in this?
You could make your own low carb pizza sauce. You can easily google one. The crust has no carbs. I make a low carb sauce that has 4g net carbs.
I just made this, and it tastes delicious, like pizza! Next time I try putting it in a larger pan, like another suggested, and definitely cook until it is golden brown. Thank you for posting this recipe! Who knew that cream cheese and a few eggs would made a great pizza crust.
Oh wow! Hubby and I are low carbing and it really felt like we were cheating on the diet. Thank you for this recipe!
Made this tonight turned out awesome! Had to make two pans because they loved it so much!!
My daughter had gastric bypass surgery and can't have grains. She makes this at least once a week, varying the toppings. She has also discovered that after the crust has rested the first 10 minutes, if you cut it into rectangles, sprinkle with parmesan and other cheeses then bake as usual, you have some pretty delcious cheesy 'breadsticks'. Thanks for the recipe!
I tweaked this a bit. I used half the ingredients and spread it into a 10X6 rectangle on a cooking sheet. After it had chilled, I flipped it and placed the toppings on the browned side so the other side could cook some more. It was sorta "pizza-like" but I thought it was too wet to really have a bread mouthfeel. It's a decent option for a low-carb wheat-free pizza….but it's definitely not great.
This is wheat free but not all ham, sausage and pepperoni is gluten free.
Love this recipe. I used a 11×14 pan, cooked the crust 20 minutes, and we thought it was awesome!
Thank you for this great recipe…my family loves it and doesn't even miss the normal crust!
It was delicious! I used 1/3 less fat CC and baked it longer just like someone above mentioned. I also used weight watcher cheese.
