.🥩 Carnivore Meat Crust Pizza
Description
This carnivore pizza uses a savory meat-and-cheese crust instead of dough, then gets loaded with browned beef, crispy bacon or pepperoni, and more melted cheese on top. It’s rich, filling, low-carb, and perfect for strict carnivore or keto eaters who still want pizza vibes without breaking their diet.
