🍽️ How to Make Carnivore Pizza – Step-by-Step
🔥 1. Preheat the oven
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). If you’ve got a pizza stone, toss that in too.
🥩 2. Make the meat crust
In a mixing bowl, combine:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup Parmesan
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
- Salt and garlic powder
Mix it all with your hands until fully incorporated. It should feel sticky but firm.
🍕 3. Shape the crust
On a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza pan:
- Press the meat mixture into a round pizza shape—about ¼ inch thick
- Build a slight raised edge to mimic a pizza crust
🔥 4. Pre-bake the crust
Slide it into the preheated oven and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the meat is fully cooked and the edges are just starting to crisp up.
Remove it, but don’t turn off the oven.
🧀 5. Add toppings
Top your meat crust with shredded mozzarella, then layer on your meats: sausage, bacon, pepperoni, and steak. If using eggs, crack them right on top for an epic finish.
🔥 6. Bake again
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 7–10 minutes, until cheese is bubbling and lightly browned.
Want an extra crispy top? Broil it for the last 1–2 minutes — but watch closely!
⏱️ 7. Rest, slice, devour
Let the pizza rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps the cheese set and gives you cleaner cuts.
Now slice it up and serve with a side of… nothing, because this is the full meal, baby.
💡 Tips & Tricks for the Best Carnivore Pizza
- Use high-fat meats. 80/20 beef, pork sausage, and fatty bacon create the best crust texture.
- Drain fat if needed. After the first bake, soak up any grease with paper towels before adding toppings.
- Add eggs for richness. They cook beautifully right on top and add more protein + creaminess.
- Freeze extras. Yes, this freezes like a dream. Just wrap slices and freeze individually.
🧠 FAQ – Carnivore Pizza Questions, Answered
Can I use chicken for the crust?
You can, but it’ll be drier. Ground beef, lamb, or sausage work best for fat and flavor.
Is cheese allowed on carnivore?
Many carnivore followers enjoy cheese, especially if it’s full-fat and aged. If you’re strict, you can skip it—or use only hard cheeses like Parmesan.
Can I use liver or organ meats?
Absolutely. Blend in a little ground liver or heart into the crust for a nutrition boost without altering flavor much.
What about seasoning?
Stick to salt, maybe pepper or garlic powder. Keep it simple and animal-based.
Can I meal prep this?
Yes! Bake the crust ahead, store it in the fridge, and top + bake fresh when ready to eat. Or store cooked slices in the freezer for easy reheats.
