What is chicken crust pizza?

Chicken crust pizza is a low-carb, high-protein alternative to traditional pizza where the crust is made from seasoned ground chicken, eggs, and cheese. It’s baked until golden and firm, then topped like a regular pizza. This type of crust holds up well, giving you the full pizza experience without the flour.

Can you buy chicken crust pizza?

Yes, a few brands sell frozen chicken crust pizza in grocery stores or online, especially in the keto or gluten-free sections. But homemade versions are often better tasting, cost-effective, and more customizable. Plus, when you make it yourself, you control the ingredients, no fillers or preservatives.

What toppings go on chicken pizza?

You can top chicken crust pizza with just about anything! Classic options include pizza sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni. You can also use barbecue sauce, grilled veggies, olives, onions, mushrooms, or fresh basil. Just be mindful of wet toppings, keep it balanced so the crust stays crispy.

Is thin crust chicken pizza healthy?

Thin chicken crust pizza is a great option if you're cutting carbs or upping your protein. It skips the flour entirely and uses lean ground chicken, which is packed with protein. Just watch your toppings and portion sizes to keep it light and nutritious. It’s a satisfying way to enjoy pizza without the crash.
