What kind of Keto Tortillas are good for this recipe?

Low carb tortillas or your favorite gluten-free wraps are the key to creating a delicious, thin-crust pizza without the excessive carbs of traditional pizza dough.

I prefer A LA MADRE tortillas for my low carb choice.

There is 7 grams of carbs, 6 net carbs with 1 gram of fiber for 2 tortillas.

nutritional facts for a la madre tortillas.

They are technically white corn tortillas so they “may not” be deemed a perfect choice for a keto tortilla, but do fit within the carb macros for a meal.

I just load up on the toppings and look at the tortilla base as a vehicle for all of the yummy additions.

Low carb tortillas come in a many great options including almond flour tortillas, coconut flour tortillas, cauliflower crust tortillas, gluten free tortillas or flaxseed-based options. You could even use a low carb wrap like an egg wrap if you want.

I have used Mission Foods Almond Flour Tortilla from the grocery store before. They are a slightly larger size so you will need to adjust accordingly but the instructions remain the same.

Let’s create your new favorite Low Carb Tortilla Pizza Recipe

Preheat your oven to 400F and prepare your baking sheet by covering with parchment paper, aluminum foil or a silpat mat.

You can also use a pizza stone if you wish.

In the first step, lay out your choice of low carb tortillas on your prepared pan. You can brush them with a little olive oil for that golden brown, crispy crust, but it is not needed as they turn into crispy tortillas without it.

Place the tortillas on your prepared baking sheet, pizza pan or pizza stone, and be sure to leave at least an inch in-between each tortilla.

With a ladle or 1/4 cup measuring cup, spread out the Low Carb Pizza Sauce within a 1/4 inch of the outside leaving a border.

Now that the pizza sauce is spread out you will top with cheese first.

Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella on top of the sauce.

Now add on your favorite toppings. I love simple ingredients on my pizza, so I go with shredded mozzarella and slices of pepperoni.

A traditional pepperoni pizza is a very well-loved meal and literally my most favorite thing to have for lunch! Finish the pizzas off with a last sprinkle of mozzarella cheese to help hold all of the toppings together.

Place it in your preheated oven for 8-10 minutes of cook time.

Watch it at the 8-minute mark to be sure it is not burning and cook a little bit longer if needed in 1-minute increments. You want to bake until the cheese melts, and the crust is crispy.

I used my regular oven, but you can also use a toaster oven or air fryer for an easy air fryer tortilla pizza.

If you are opting for turning this into an air fryer tortilla pizza recipe, skip the baking sheet and place the parchment paper directly into the air fryer basket or spray with some non-stick cooking spray.

Once they are done I use a pizza cutter to cut into even pieces then sprinkle a little parmesan cheese on top.

The easiest way to eat this kind of pizza is to halfway fold it as you eat it.

It reminds me of a New York pizza I had a long time ago where you have to fold in slightly in order to pick it up and eat it.

If you happen to make too much or you want to have them on hand for meal prep, store them in an airtight container up to 4 days.

You will reheat them in the exact same way you originally baked them.

This time only bake them for half of the time called for, 4-5 minutes until the cheese starts to melt.

Tips, Substitutions and FAQs

  • The possibilities are endless when it comes to crafting your own low carb tortilla pizza. Explore different flavor profiles and create exciting variations, like white pizza with alfredo sauce, or a Mexican pizza with avocado and jalapeños.
  • Go for texture when you use mini pepperonis chopped up into bits and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for spice.
  • If you want to make a simple recipe for pizza sauce just combine 1/2 cup of tomato sauce with 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning and 1 tsp garlic powder.

  • Don’t have an oven or airfryer? Try making these pizzas in a large skillet. Grease your tortillas with some oil and brown them up before topping as the skillet will not crisp up the tortilla with toppings on it so you gave to do it before. Preheat your skillet over medium heat and lay your tortillas in it. Do not overlap. You may have to cook them in batches if your skillet is not big enough. Now after you have pre-crisped up your tortillas, top with the sauce and toppings. Cover with a lid and then turn the heat down to low. Keep cooking for 8 minutes until the cheese is melted. Once the cheese is melted then they are ready to eat.
  • You have the freedom to customize your low-carb tortilla pizza with your own toppings from classic fresh mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices to more creative toppings like fresh basil and even scrambled eggs for breakfast pizzas.

Can I substitute anything else for the tortillas? ​Yes, you can use a cheese wrap or egg style wrap as your tortilla in this recipe. To make a cheese wrap you would follow the skillet instructions as baking in the oven would burn the cheese wrap. Just crisp up in your skillet, top with sauce and toppings then cover to melt the cheese.

Can I make this vegetarian? ​Yes, you can! Just opt for vegetables only and leave the meat off. It would be a little more difficult to make it vegan unless you find a good dairy free cheese substitute you enjoy.

What if I cannot have red sauce, can I use a different sauce? ​Yes, any type of sauce will work with this recipe. Just think of all of the types of pizzas there are and get some ideas to change things up from the traditional pizzas. I also love a good white sauce or alfredo sauce topped with chicken and mozzarella cheese. You could opt to skip the sauce altogether and just go straight to toppings too. Make sure you brush the tortilla with oil before topping so the toppings can stick to the tortilla better and still maintain the crispiness.

Do I have to reheat the leftover pizza before eating? ​Since the ingredients are technically already cooked you can enjoy it cold if you want! I have taken them cold in a sack lunch before and enjoyed dipping them into some pizza sauce I put in a little dipper container. Kind of like a pizza lunchable but it is homemade and already put together.


With this easy gluten-free low carb tortilla pizza recipe, you can indulge in a slice (or a whole pizza) without worrying about your carb count.
