To make this delicious carnivore pizza recipe, you will need to gather a few simple animal based items. Here is the exact list of everything required to get the best crust and topping combination possible.

One pound of ground beef or ground chicken for the crust base

How to Make Carnivore Pizza

Making this wonderful protein pizza is very easy and fun. Just follow these simple steps to get the most savory and satisfying result every single time.

Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Pan

Start by preheating your oven to four hundred degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with a sheet of parchment paper. Lining the pan is very important because meat crusts can release natural juices and fats while baking, and parchment paper prevents sticking.

Step 2: Mix the Crust Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine your raw ground beef or ground chicken with the large egg, grated parmesan cheese, and salt. Use your clean hands to knead and mix everything together thoroughly until all the ingredients combine into a uniform meat mixture.

Step 3: Shape the Crust

Transfer your meat mixture onto the prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use your hands or a rolling pin to press and flatten the meat mixture out into a thin round circle about twelve inches wide. Make sure the thickness is even across the entire circle so it bakes uniformly.

Step 4: Pre-bake the Crust

Place the baking sheet into your preheated oven and bake the meat crust for about fifteen minutes. This pre-baking step cooks the meat thoroughly and removes excess moisture, creating a sturdy base that will hold your pizza toppings.

Step 5: Add the Toppings

Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Take your shredded mozzarella cheese and sprinkle it evenly over the pre-baked meat crust. Arrange your cooked pepperoni slices, crumbled bacon, or diced sausage over the melted cheese layer.

Step 6: Melt and Crisp

Return the loaded pizza back into the oven and bake for another ten minutes. Watch closely until the mozzarella cheese melts completely, bubbles up, and turns golden brown on top, and the edges of the crust look crisp.

Step 7: Slice and Serve

Remove your carnivore pizza from the oven and let it rest for five minutes so the cheese sets. Slice it into six equal triangles using a sharp pizza cutter and serve hot.

Chef Notes

Meat Choices: Ground chicken or turkey creates a lighter crust flavor, while ground beef provides a richer and heartier taste profile for your pizza.
Storage Tips: Store leftover pizza slices in an airtight container inside your refrigerator for up to three days, or freeze them for quick meals later.
Reheating: Warm up chilled slices in a toaster oven or hot skillet for five minutes to restore the crispy texture of the crust and melted cheese.
Sauce Option: Most traditional pizza sauces contain tomatoes and sugars, so keep your pizza strictly carnivore by skipping the sauce or using a thin smear of melted butter and garlic.
