You can ditch the regular pizza crust that is super high in carbs – around 36 g total carbs and 33.5 g net carbs per slice for a 14″ pizza crust – and swap it for our awesome low carb diabetic pizza crust that has just 6 g net carbs for 1/2 large pizza!
Sound good? It is. 🙂

Gourmet Pizza Toppings
This recipe includes cauliflower, sundried tomato, ham, olives, bell pepper and mushrooms (and cheese of course). But you can use all sorts of things – chicken strips, ground beef, spinach, avocado, broccoli, onion, feta – yes, you name it, pizza is a versatile meal.
The thing that’s great about pizza is you can top it with whatever you like – just get creative.
Low carb pizza is still a high calorie food compared to simple vegetable dishes, so it’s still not something you want to eat everyday. In regards to the low carb pizza, this is mostly due to the pizza crust being made with almond flour – nuts being high in fat. But these are healthy types of fat, so no need to worry there.
You can feel confident eating this knowing it is a healthier, safer diabetic option that is equally as satisfying for your pizza cravings.
Happy Eating!

Essential Kitchen Tools
Sharp knives in the kitchen save you time and effort and are something you use every day. And baking trays, well, baking is a super easy way to cook, so keep them handy in the cupboard for a cold winter night – or mid summer if you have aircon. Or you can use round pizza pans, too. 🙂
You always need a good grater, or make it easier – a food processor with a grater and chopping elements! To make a nice appetizing treat for the family or guests, serve your pizza up on some beautiful wooden serving boards. And lastly, a pizza cutter makes it fun and easy to cut into slices.

Jedha,
This recipe sounds very good but are you sure about the calories? Seems to me to be a lot of calories and fat calories for a diabetic. How can I loose weight with this many calories.
Pizza is a high calorie food Biscuit, which is why it’s a “sometimes” food. But this pizza crust is a low carb option, which is “safe” for blood sugar and perhaps surprisingly, weight. The fat mainly comes from monounsaturated fat, which is very healthy fat to consume. The thing about weight loss is that it’s not just calories that matter. Sure, they definitely do. But carbohydrate foods promote weight gain, not necessarily fat as one might assume. It’s a bit more complex than that… perhaps we’ll cover calories vs. carbs very soon.
