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!

This is a great option for those cannot eat wheat! We added 1/4 cup Parmesan and mashed the dough flat on parchment paper on a pizza peel, then slipped it onto a pizza stone already heated to 400. We will make this again.
Lisa Huff says
Thank you Elizabeth!
Connie says
This is our go to pizza crust! So delicious!! Thank you for the recipe! We put on Kalakamata olives, marinated artichokes and fresh tomatoes, so so good!!
Lisa Huff says
Thank you so much Connie! And the toppings sound great! :)
Jackie says
Hi. I haven’t tried to make this yet but I was curious how it would work using a baking stone instead of a skillet?
Lisa Huff says
You probably could. I haven’t tried it but to be on the safe side I think I’d maybe bake on parchment paper to prevent the crust from sicking to the stone.
Elizabeth says
Yes, I had success with a pizza stone.
Christina says
Hi great recipe can I use fresh sliced mozzarella instead of shredded? Accidentally got the wrong cheese.
Lisa Huff says
Yes definitely! Just a personal preference. :)
Paul says
I found my dough was very dense and heavy with a sand like consistency. I didn’t use super fine almond flour, maybe that would help. I ended up eating just the toppings. Is this just me?
Lisa Huff says
I would definitely recommend a commercial almond flour that is finely ground. The texture is definitely different than regular pizza crust with flour and does take some getting use to if you’re not used to nut flours.
Tami says
I really wanted to like this. Made a double batch with loads of toppings. Just couldn’t do it. Hubby and I just scraped the toppings off and ate them. Just not for us. 🤷♀️
Lisa L says

Lisa Huff says
Awww thank you!
Lyng says
I want to try this recipe but haven’t yet.
Would I be able to cook this in a pizza oven? Thx.
Lisa Huff says
I haven’t tried it, but I don’t see why not. Just might need to adjust the size of the crust and baking time.
Sheri says
I doubled this recipe to make a calzone, it was awesome! So easy and quick to make and l used the leftover on our camping trip! Thank you so much !
Lisa Huff says
So happy to hear it worked out well for a calzone! Thanks! :)
Terrie says
I love this recipe but did I miss the Nutrition info? I log all my food info.
Lisa Huff says
I didn’t list the nutrition info since it can vary a lot based on changes and brands.
Ashley says
This is so yummy. We literally make this at least once a week now! I’m not sure if it is just oven differences but we cook it almost twice as long and even broil a little for extra crisp. We have made so many variations with fun toppings. Thank you for this!
Lisa Huff says
So happy to hear you like the pizza crust! Thank you so much for leaving a comment. :) We like it on the thicker softer side so that might explain the cook time difference a bit. :)
Barb says
I made this for the first time and used sugar free b-b-q sauce instead of tomato sauce and topped with mozzarella cheese, sliced purple onion and rotisserie chicken. De-lish! I’ll be making more pizzas using this recipe. Now tell me . . . How many calories in thr crust?
Lisa Huff says
Happy to hear you enjoyed the pizza crust, thank you! Not sure how many calories are in it (you can use an online calculator) but would guess quite a bit. It’s lower-carb and gluten-free but probably not low calorie. :)
