Does anyone make a crustless pizza?

Of course they do, tesoro. I didn’t invent it—I just made it my way. Lots of folks make crustless pizza now, but I like to think mine has a little more soul. It’s not about following a trend. It’s about making something delicious with what you have. No crust? No problem.

How many calories in a crustless pizza?

Ah, you’re counting, huh? I understand. The truth is, it depends on what you put in it. Mine usually has sauce, cheese, maybe some sausage or peppers. If you keep it simple, it’s lighter than a regular pizza. But listen—eat with joy. One slice never broke a heart.

What can I use instead of crust in a pizza?

Instead of crust, you’re building your base right in the pan. A little olive oil, some sauce, and the cheese settles as it bakes—it forms its own layer. It’s not crust, exactly… but it holds together just fine. Think of it as pizza that skipped the flour and went straight for flavor.

Is this crustless pizza recipe good for low-carb or keto diets?

Yes, bella, it is. No dough, no flour—just cheese, sauce, and toppings. It fits all those “low this” and “no that” diets. But honestly, I make it because it tastes good. That it fits your plan? Just a bonus.
