Go Ahead, Have a Slice
Only four ingredients in this protein-rich crust make it so quick to pull together. I’ve kept the toppings simple too—but feel free to keep going from here. This is a fun, easy dinner. It’s also a welcome addition to any game day or movie night spread. I love this after a workout when I want (need!) a satisfying snack but crave something a little gluttonous. What can’t pizza do?
So take it from Me-atzza! (I’m not sorry.) This is a great way to do pizza night, or pizza anytime, a little differently. So what are you having for dinner tonight? Meatzza! Meatzza! 🍷🍕 – Linds x
What You Need:
This ingredient list is short and sweet! Here’s all you need:
- The meat – I use ground turkey here, although ground chicken, ground pork, or very lean ground beef will work too.
- The binder – parmesan cheese keeps this pizza in one piece while making it easy to actually hold a slice. It also adds a touch of flavor while keeping the meat nice-n’-juicy
- The flavor – I keep the seasoning simple with a sprinkle of Italian seasoning. This allows the toppings to shine. You can mix in whatever you like here — oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, etc.
How to Make Meatzza:
Meatzza us E-A-S-Y to make. Here’s all you need to do:
- Combine turkey, egg, grated parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning with your hands.
- Shape into a 3/4″ thick circle on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Cover your crust with toppings.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the internal temp of your pizza reaches 165 F.
Keto Pizza Toppings
Top your meatzza pizza as you would any regular pizza — this crust works with all your favorites! Here are some ideas:
- Sauce – most pizza sauces are loaded in sugar, so, read labels carefully or make your own (check out my keto pizza sauce or keto BBQ sauce).
- Keto cheese – cheddar, jack, or mozzarella cheese ar great options.
- Keto vegetables – add your favorites, such as onions, mushrooms, bell peppers, you name it!
- Extras – maybe some black olives? Pepperoncinis? Fresh parsley or basil leaves?
Storing + Reheating
This keto meatza pizza is best served immediately, as lean meats (turkey/chicken/pork) dry out the more they’re cooked and reheated. If you have leftovers and plan to reheat them, do so in the microwave.

Lindsey's Tips
- Meat - ground beef can be used without any modifications.
- Pizza sauce - storebought products are often loaded with sugar. I usually make my own or read labels carefully before grabbing a jar.
