Keto Pepperoni Meatza with BBQ Bacon Topping

Print Recipe

This keto meatza recipe has no crust and no guilt. A beef “crust” replaces dough, topped with sugar-free BBQ bacon, gooey mozzarella, and spicy pepperoni. It’s low carb, high protein, and packed with real pizza flavor. Great for the keto diet, meal prep, or just a solid dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

For the base:

  • 1½ pounds ground beef (80/20)

  • 1 egg

  • ½ cup grated parmesan

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • Salt to taste

BBQ Bacon Topping:

  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon

  • 2 tbsp sugar-free BBQ sauce

  • ½ tsp smoked paprika

  • Dash of chili powder (optional)

Toppings:

  • ½ cup sugar-free pizza sauce

  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella

  • 20–30 slices pepperoni

  • Fresh basil (optional)

  • Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • In a large bowl, mix ground beef, egg, parmesan, and spices. Shape into a ½-inch thick crust on the baking sheet.

  • Bake crust for 15–18 minutes. Drain the grease.

  • Cook bacon in a skillet until slightly crispy. Chop and toss with BBQ sauce, paprika, and chili powder.

  • Spread pizza sauce on the cooked meat base. Top with mozzarella, BBQ bacon, and pepperoni.

  • Bake again for 10–12 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden. Broil 2 minutes for crispier top.

  • Rest 5 minutes before slicing. Add basil or red pepper if using.

Notes

  • Use Italian sausage instead of beef for extra flavor

  • Leftovers reheat great in the oven or air fryer

  • You can freeze the cooked crust and add toppings later

  • Keep an eye when broiling—it can burn fast

  • Make your own BBQ sauce for better control over carbs
