After seeing some amazing results in my friends when they started the Ketogenic Diet I thought, I should try this out. I had hit a wall in my weight loss and toning, nothing seemed to be working. Seeing before and after shots of people I know in real life and not some paid advertisement I jump on the Keto bandwagon. Not before I did some research though. I mean, I NEED my half and half, and sugar. Thank goodness for stevia!
Next issue of course was creating recipes that my whole family would like and I wouldn't hate. Sometimes being on a diet means eating things you don't love. I knew if I couldn't come up with ways to modify my favorite foods this determination wouldn't last long. There is only so long I can eat stuff that taste blah. Pizza was my first challenge. We have a pizza movie night very Friday. There was no way, I would sit there eating sad salad while my kids chowed down on delicious homemade pizza. So I came up with this recipe, that is not only a Keto friendly pizza, but a kid friendly one too. My whole family loves this pizza and they don't even miss the crust!
Another reason to love this recipe: it's easy. I mean super easy. Brown the sausage, sauté veggies if you want, add cheese, and bake for 20 minutes. Done!
Keto Friendly Pizza is possible and it's delicious! Promise!!
Ingredients:
-
1 Can Diced Tomatoes
-
Package of Sausage
-
Pepperoni
-
Any Vegetables You Choose
-
Package of Shredded Cheese
-
Dried Oregano
-
Garlic Powder
Directions:
-
Preheat the oven to 350
-
Brown sausage in a skillet, drain when done.
-
While the sausage is cooking, sauté any veggies you picked out.
-
Layer a 13×9 dish with the sausage.
-
Top the sausage with diced tomatoes. I then sprinkle oregano and garlic powder on the diced tomatoes.
-
Add sautéd veggies, and cover with shredded cheese.
-
Add pepperoni on top of the cheese
-
Place in oven and heat through for 20-25 minutes.
Note: I did not use any veggies in this version because we didn't have any mushrooms. And I was not about to fight the crowds at Wegmans on a Friday night! I also use any cheese I happen to have at the house. So don't stress if you have triple cheddar and not pizza blend. Cheese is delicious no matter which package you use!
Do you have a favorite low carb/no carb recipe? I would love some more ideas!
I’ve been failing on the weight loss front lately. I have a few friends doing really well on Keto, I’ll be looking into it soon
This looks delicious. What exactly is the Keto Diet.? I would love to learn more If I can eat things like this.
Great recipe for a tasty way to diet! I love that you can still find a way to eat one of my favorite foods! Do you have other keto friendly recipes?
That looks pretty yummy! I love homemade pizza and this recipe looks pretty simple to try!
My husband would really love this! He is on a Keto diet now.
I kind of went off pizza a few years ago, but this one looks SO good! I might have to give it a try as an alternative to regular pizza and see what I think 🙂

This doesn’t even sound like diet food, especially since I’m certain my husband would love it. The best part, though, is that is looks super easy to put together!
I don’t know anything about Keto. It’s always good with any diet plan that you can find foods to eat that you enjoy. Good for you and good luck!
My whole family has been trying to live healthier so I have been looking for healthier alternatives to some of our favorite items. I haven’t found one for pizza that we like, so I will have to give this one a try to see if it will be our new pizza.
I’ve heard that the Keto diet is tough, but I would definitely eat that pizza. It looks so yummy! Thanks for the recipes.
