There are few things closer to my heart than a good slice of pizza. Well, as you probably know, pizza isn't exactly suited for a low-carb diet. I set out to find an acceptable replacement for our doughy friend and stumbled upon the outline of this recipe. I'm glad I did. This turned out WAY better than I thought it was going to. Immediately, I was thinking of how to use the crust in other ways. Give it a shot. Know that the calories are high (probably not as high as a thick regular pizza), fat is high, but as long as you're following a high-fat diet, you should be just fine.

Ingredients
Crust
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¾ cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon Carving House blend seasoning
- Olive oil to grease your hands
Topping
- 8 oz. ground beef, seasoned with Carving House blend seasoning
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ½ cup unsweetened tomato sauce
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Heat mozzarella and cream cheese in a small, non-stick pan over medium heat or in a bowl in the microwave oven. Do not overheat. I personally did this in 2, 30-second sessions. After the second session, I mixed well and it was ready.
- Stir until they melt together. Add the other crust ingredients and mix well.
- Moisten your hands with olive oil and flatten the dough on parchment paper, making a circle about 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter. You can also use a rolling pin to flatten the dough between two sheets of parchment paper.

- Remove top parchment sheet (if used). Prick the crust with a fork (all over) and bake in the oven for 10–12 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven.
- While the crust is baking, sauté the ground beef in olive oil or butter and top with Carving House seasoning.
- Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the crust. Top pizza with meat and plenty of cheese. Bake for 10–15 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
- Sprinkle Carving House seasoning on top and serve with a green salad.
