Keto Pizza Napoletana

Our Keto Pizza Napoletana is made using a Keto-friendly pizza crust. The crust is easy to make and created with a blend of cream cheese and shredded mozzarella. The mixture forms into a dough you can bake before adding the toppings - traditional Napoletana toppings like San Marzano tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella cheese, and fresh Italian basil. The pizza is baked and then broiled to brown the cheese nicely. This low-carb pizza makes the ultimate Keto meal when a pizza craving strikes!

What kind of tomato sauce do I use for this recipe?

We used organic canned San Marzano tomato sauce to make this recipe quick and easy. However, authentic pizza Napoletana can be made from scratch using fresh or whole canned San Marzano tomatoes. To do so, add plenty of olive oil to a saucepan and crushed garlic cloves. Add whole San Marzano tomatoes, but break them up with a wooden spoon. Then allow the mixture to simmer for several minutes until the tomatoes break down into a sauce.

The mozzarella cheese released a lot of water. What can I do?

Due to the gluten-free and Keto nature of the pizza crust, the water released from the mozzarella cheese can make the dough less crispy. We suggest slicing the mozzarella cheese very thin and baking the pizza with the cheese on top to mitigate this. Then, place the pizza under the broiler to brown the cheese.

To make the ultimate pairing, serve this with other Keto Italian recipes like our Keto Italian Sausage and Peppers!
