Description

This Where’s The Crust Pizza is a clever low-carb, crustless pizza that uses a creamy cheese base to create a delicious and easy-to-make pizza perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. Using a mix of cream cheese, eggs, and parmesan, this recipe forms a golden, slightly crispy base that’s topped with classic pizza sauce, mozzarella, and your favorite toppings, all baked to melty perfection.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 (8-oz) package of full fat cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Favorite pizza toppings (such as pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, olives, etc.)
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the crust base: Using a handheld mixer, combine the cream cheese, eggs, ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and parmesan cheese until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Spread this mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  3. Bake the crust: Bake the cream cheese mixture for 12-15 minutes, until it turns golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and let the crust cool for about 10 minutes; this helps it set and makes it easier to handle.
  4. Add sauce and toppings: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the cooled crust. Then, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and your favorite pizza toppings evenly over the sauce. For an extra punch of flavor, sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder over the pizza.
  5. Bake the assembled pizza: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.

Notes

  • Allowing the crust to cool before adding toppings helps maintain its structure and prevents sogginess.
  • You can customize the toppings to your liking; try pepperoni, sautéed vegetables, olives, or even cooked sausage.
  • This pizza is a great low-carb alternative to traditional pizza crust.
  • Be sure to use full-fat cream cheese for best texture and flavor.
  • Storing leftovers in the fridge and reheating gently helps maintain the crust’s texture.
