This Almond Flour Pizza Crust is an easy low carb and gluten-free pizza option. Since my almond flour recipes have been so popular lately I thought I’d share this one with you as well. This almond flour pizza crust is based on my almond flour biscuit recipe (Gluten Free Cheddar Bay Biscuits) which is an easy gluten-free biscuit recipe.
Where to Buy Almond Flour:
So before we get started on almond flour recipes and this almond flour pizza crust, let’s talk about almond flour. Almond flour is finely ground almonds. I know a lot of people wonder how to make almond flour at home. You can make your own in a food processor, but it’s tough to get the almonds as finely ground as commercial almond flours that you can buy.
Almond flour is widely available now in many large grocery stores and specialty grocery stores. You can also find it on Amazon and Costco.

How to Make Almond Flour Pizza Crust:
Ok let’s get started on this Almond Flour Pizza Crust. Before you get started, be sure to preheat your oven so it’s ready to go when your crust is done.
Like I mentioned I based this on my almond flour biscuit recipe. In a mixing bowl, mix together the almond flour, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt until well combined.
Then stir in the cooled melted butter and eggs and stir until combined.
Press the dough on the bottom of a greased cast iron pan. I used shortening to grease the pan but you could also use oil. Make sure the dough is flat and even. I used a 10-inch cast iron pan but you could use one slightly smaller or larger.
Bake the crust at the bottom of your oven, for about 12-15 minutes or until browned around the edges. I like baking the crust toward the bottom of the oven so that the bottom is crispy.
Then remove the crust from the oven and add your favorite pizza or tomato sauce, cheese, and toppings and place back in the oven for a few minutes until cheese has melted.
Once your pizza is done, you can cut out slices using a sharp knife. You might need to use some kind of spatula, fork, etc. or something for that first piece to get out. Then the rest of the slices should come out a lot easier.
If you’d like a more soft crust, I’d suggest baking the pizza crust more in the middle of the oven and for slightly less time.
You can make this pizza any way you’d like. I like to chop up fresh herbs like basil, Italian parsley, or oregano for the top.
You can also add other dried herbs and spices to the crust itself.
Just for the record, this crust is great, but it will never compare to pizza crust with yeast and flour. You just can’t get that kind of consistency and chewiness with almond flour. Sad I know, but this Almond Flour Pizza Crust is a great substitute so don’t worry!

Notes
Dennis says
I’m just curious as to why you need to bake the crust first, then put the toppings on it and then put it back in the oven? Are you able to roll out the dough, put toppings on, and then bake it (kinda like a normal pizza)?
Lisa Huff says
If you spread it thin enough you probably could. I just like to bake it first to make sure it’s fully cooked through.
Connie says
Omg! This was the best pizza I have ever had! We didn’t have butter on hand so I used coconut oil instead and no fresh basil, so we used dried basil on top. It was simply amazing! The crust just melts in your mouth. Thank you!!!
Lisa Huff says
Oh thank you so much! Happy to hear you enjoyed the pizza crust!
Diane says
Can this be baked on a pizza pan ?
Lisa Huff says
I have not tried it but don’t see why not. It should be fine.
Sam says
Got this in the oven now. The calories just for the almond flour alone are immense though! 600! I haven’t even calculated the other ingredients yet, let alone the toppings. Thinking it’s gonna be nice but not sure whether it’s worth the calorie count. Thanks though x
Lisa Huff says
Yes unfortunately almond has a lot of calories but less carbs. :)
Charlie says
is it just me? where is the nutritional information?
Calories, protein, carbs, fats??? in each slice
Lisa Huff says
Sorry, you’ll have to calculate based on specific brands/ingredients you use.
Eileen Lawes says
Just made this for lunch and enjoyed it . My husband thought it was very good. Thanks for the recipe😀
Heather says
Just made this and I am so impressed with the crust! I made it with the recipe for my family ( I did add a little shredded parm to the mix) and modified it a little to make it vegan for me ( butter flavored coconut oil and flax seed for eggs). That was the best crust we have ever had. Thanks for the reicipe!
Harrison Carpenter says
Tonight, I gave this recipe a try and was quite happy with the taste/texture. Kudos!
Lisa Huff says
Happy to hear you enjoyed, thanks!
Dana says
Hi! I’m trying this tonight! Can I freeze the cooked pizza?? My macros only allow for one slice – LOL! :-)
Lisa Huff says
Hi! It should freeze fine, just be sure to wrap well. Won’t be as good as fresh pizza of course, but should be ok. Hope you like it!
Dana says
This turned out great btw! Next time I will spread it a little thinner across the bottom of the pan and make the edges a little thicker. Thanks for the great recipe!!
Lisa Huff says
Great! Happy to hear you liked!
Tammy says
I tried this crust last night and LOVED IT! After trying many different recipes with many ingredients or not so good texture I finally find THE ONE! THANKS so much for this incredible easy recipe for the pizza lovers whom quit the processed flours and gluten.
Lisa Huff says
Awww thank you! Totally made my day. :)
Rhonda says
How many carbs?
Lisa Huff says
Sorry I did not calculate. A lot depends on brands so I’d suggest calculating based on brands and specific ingredients you use. Some of the online calculators aren’t very reliable.
Julie says
I just bought “Natures Truth” organic Almond Flour. It has 24 carbs per cup. Not bad!
Lei says
Tried this crust tonight and love it!! Definitely a keeper.

I can’t wait to try this recipe out! I love pizza and have yet to master a really good homemade gluten free pizza crust. And really like that you can do this in a cast iron pan. Looks so easy.
Veena Azmanov says
OH that’s interesting!! I would not have thought of almond flour. So cleaver. I bet it tasted delish.. Love how easy this looks. Saving for later.
Chris says
Love your step by step photos, so helpful! I’ve never made pizza crust with almond flour before but will definitely give it a go after seeing this recipe! Thanks for sharing :)
Helene D'Souza says
I have never tried an almond pizza crust. I can see how this could be interesting with a light topping in a skillet as you show it in the pictures. Most pizzerias here have at least 2-3 different crust choices for their guests, this could just be another one in the future.
Joyce says
Such a clever way to use almond flour to make the crust! Mmm nuttiness and so much flavor!! :) I love how this is made in a cast iron pan too!!
