Notes

  • Do not use napa or savoy cabbage for this recipe. Their leaves are far too delicate. This recipe calls for the standard green “cannonball” cabbage.
  • Use a 10-inch skillet for a thicker pizza or a 12-inch skillet for a thinner pizza.
  • Experiment with different toppings: While the recipe calls for pizza sauce, ham, or pepperoni, feel free to get creative with your toppings. Try adding cooked bacon, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, or any other veggies or meats you like to your pizza.
  • Try grilling, baking, or barbecuing the pizza: While the recipe calls for cooking the pizza on the stovetop, you can also try grilling it on a grill or BBQ or baking it in the oven at 375°F for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Swap the pizza sauce: If you’re not a fan of pizza sauce, you can substitute it with another sauce that you prefer, such as marinara sauce, pesto for the jar, or even salsa.

    Is This Cabbage Pizza Keto Friendly?

    low-carb gluten-free pizza

    Yes, this cabbage pizza can be considered keto-friendly as it is a low-carb recipe that contains only 8 grams of carbohydrates per serving, which is 3/4 of the pizza. This is because the pizza crust is made from shredded cabbage instead of traditional pizza dough, which is typically high in carbohydrates.

    Additionally, the recipe contains high protein and fat ingredients such as eggs, cheese, and butter, which are also common staples in a keto diet.

    However, it’s important to note that the nutritional information may vary depending on the specific brands and amounts of ingredients used, so it’s always a good idea to double-check the nutritional content and portion sizes to ensure they fit within your daily keto macro goals.

    1. As someone who loves pizza but not the high-carb count that comes with it, I was skeptical about low-carb cabbage pizza. But after trying it, I have to say I’m a believer! The cabbage crust adds a unique crunch and flavor that pairs perfectly with the cheesy toppings. Plus, it’s a great way to sneak in some extra veggies into my diet. I may never go back to traditional pizza crust again, maybe 🙂

    3. My pizza was so tasty but I had too much cabbage in my pan. Made it difficult to flip.

      The flavors were delicious and I will experiment again until I get the size of pan and the amount of cabbage correct.

    4. Tasty cabbage dish, mine wasn’t pizza. I had to use a fork to eat it there was no picking it up. I don’t know what I did wrong since I followed the recipe exactly as stated.
      I won’t be making it again but it was tasty, just not worth the struggle of flipping it. Now a scrabble of this I will do and I’ll add even more veggies.
