Ingredients

Zero-Carb Meat Crust

  • 1½ lbs lean ground beef (85/15 recommended; 93/7 works)

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 tsp salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • ½ tsp garlic powder (optional; omit for strict Carnivore)

Zero-Carb Toppings

  • ½ cup zero-sugar, zero-carb pizza sauce
    (or softened cream cheese for Carnivore)

  • 1 cup shredded full-fat mozzarella cheese (whole milk preferred)

  • 10–12 slices pepperoni or turkey pepperoni
    (check labels for no added sugar or dextrose)

  • 1 tbsp dried oregano (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, egg, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Mix gently with your hands until just combined—do not overmix.

2. Shape the Crust

Press the meat mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a 10 × 12-inch rectangle about ½ inch thick. Create a small raised edge around the perimeter to form a crust.

3. Pre-Bake

Bake the crust for 15 minutes to allow it to set and release excess fat.

4. Drain Excess Fat

Remove from the oven and carefully drain or blot away rendered fat to prevent sogginess.

5. Add Toppings

Spread a thin layer of sauce or cream cheese over the crust. Top evenly with mozzarella, then add pepperoni and oregano (if using).

6. Final Bake

Return to the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly and pepperoni edges are slightly crisp.

7. Rest & Serve

Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into 4 large squares and enjoy.

Storage & Meal Prep

  • Refrigerate: Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days

  • Reheat: Best reheated in an air fryer or toaster oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes

  • Freeze: Wrap individual slices tightly and freeze for up to 1 month
    Thaw overnight before reheating

Tips & FAQs

Can I use a different meat for the crust?

Yes. Ground pork or a beef-pork blend works well. Ground chicken is possible but tends to be drier—fattier meats yield better results.

How do I make this strictly Carnivore?

Omit garlic powder, oregano, and pizza sauce. Use only meat, cheese, and pepperoni. Cream cheese or ricotta can replace sauce if desired.

What other zero-carb toppings work?

  • Bacon crumbles

  • Cooked sausage

  • Thin-sliced ham

  • Extra mozzarella

Always check labels for hidden sugars.

How do I prevent the crust from shrinking?

Press the meat firmly, create a raised edge, and always pre-bake before adding toppings—this sets the proteins and holds the shape.
