I haven’t missed bread/pasta/potatoes too much after giving up most of my regular carbohydrates, but pizza was definitely one I missed. After a little bit of trial and error I came up with this method of making pizza which I think I actually prefer more and has been kid approved in our kitchen.

Putting it all together

Place pizza on cooling/baking rack supported on a cookie sheet and spread 1 tablespoon of low carb pizza sauce on your pizza.  Add your toppings and favorite cheese…lacking any Italian cheese blend at home I sliced up about one mozzarella string cheese stick per slice of pizza.

Place pizza in oven preheated and set to broil and cook until cheese begins to melt and crust begins to darken.  For my oven this occurred in about 1-2 minutes.

Cut into quarters and enjoy your guilt free delicious meal.  For each sausage and cheese pizza above comes out to 288 calories, 21g fat, 6 net carbs, 16g protein.  Provided that a typical slice of pizza comes in about the same number of calories but 22 grams of carbs this great and tasty alternative.
