How to Serve Keto Pizza

Serve your Keto Pizza hot from the oven. You can cut it into slices like traditional pizza. It’s great with a simple side salad or your favorite dipping sauces, like marinara or ranch. Ideal for family dinners, movie nights, or a quick meal.

How to Store Keto Pizza

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They can last for about 3 to 4 days. To reheat, place slices in the oven at a low temperature until warmed through, or use a microwave for quick heating, but the oven will keep the crust crispy.

Tips to Make Keto Pizza

• Make sure to fully melt the cheese before adding the egg. This helps the dough come together smoothly.
• If the dough feels sticky, you can sprinkle a little more almond flour.
• Feel free to experiment with toppings! Add pepperoni, bell peppers, mushrooms, or any favorite toppings.

Variation

You can change the flavor of your crust by adding different herbs and spices. For a spicy kick, consider adding crushed red pepper flakes. You can also try a different type of cheese for the crust if you prefer.
