With Coconut flour pizza crust you can have delicious pizza with a fraction of the carbs!
We love pizza. I mean, who doesn’t? I was really sad when I first started making gluten-free food, that I couldn’t seem to make a satisfactory pizza crust.
We tried a lot of recipes before we found one we loved – but love it we did – it’s our favorite pizza crust recipe ever, and in fact, it’s so good, I take it to church potlucks and get compliments on it from people who aren’t even gluten-free. So honestly, I never thought that after finding a recipe that delicious I’d ever try another one, but…
But Back then it never occurred to me that we might want to limit our intake of grains either.
So here we are, making grain-free pizza crust – coconut flour pizza crust.
To be honest, I love it! It’s not that it’s better tasting than our favorite gluten-free pizza crust recipe, but I do feel about fifty-seven times better about eating it!
This coconut flour pizza crust recipe makes a beautiful crust that is slightly dense, but soft, and pliable, and most importantly, it holds together – the way pizza crust should – so that you can pick up a slice to eat with your hands – just the way you should eat pizza, right? (if you’re over three years old at least)
Can you believe you get all that, and this whole crust recipe only has 16 grams of carbs? Another reason to love pizza! That makes it safe to eat even on low carb days for those of us who cycle carbs to fit our activity levels.
There really is no end to what you can do with coconut flour recipes.

I see the picture of the coconut pie crust and description, but can’t find the recipe.
Hi Sheila, You can find the Coconut Pie Crust Recipe here.
Hi, is there any way to make this ahead of time and freeze? I would like to make a few and save for after school time.
I haven’t tried it with this recipe, but for other pizza crusts, I like to make them small enough to fit into a gallon-sized zip-top bag.
you can pre-bake the crust, add the toppings and freeze before the second bake, or just freeze the plain crust.
Thanks. I will try.
I was wanting to try the same thing with this recipe. Did you ever try it Alexa?
This sounds super yummy! I can’t wait to try it! Have you tried using parchment paper instead of oiling the pan? I’m a big fan of quick cleanup! So wondering if that would work?
I haven’t tried it, but I bet it would work!
I used parchment paper on a cookie sheet, and it worked great.
I loved this recipe♡ Made an extra 9 ×13 pan to use in place of bread for Toast & Grilled Cheese…Really Tasty*:)

Genius!!!! ?❤
This was excellent! I might try adding some salt next time, but the texture and taste of this crust was truly delish. Thank you!
★★★★★
Glad you liked it! 🙂
No yeast needed?
Nope. 🙂
Hi, when you add the dry ingredients to the mix, does that include the parmesan?
Yes.:)
I made this and it wasn’t too bad. It does what it is supposed to. Holds together well and doesn’t fall apart. For a grain free alternative, this is probably the easiest and best one I have found so far. I did add a generous amount of Italian herbs to the dough mix and used baking paper covered very liberally in coconut oil for the baking of the crust and baked for maybe a little longer.. but it’s a good easy base. Nice job!
★★★★
Would this recipe work without the cheese do you think? I’m dairy and gluten free and would love to try this but curious if it turns out as nice without the parm.
Sure! The cheese is mostly for flavor. 🙂
I really like this recipe, but it always sticks to the pan. I’ve used a stone bar pan well greased with coconut oil or olive oil. I just bought a rock crock grill stone that has a somewhat non stick finish that I again oiled well, but no luck. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?
Hi Maria, I haven’t used this recipe on a stone, and I suspect that your stone is absorbing the oil you’re using to grease the pan.
Have you tried a non-porous baking sheet such as stainless steel?
Not with ghee.
How many carbs are there per serving? Thanks
Thanks so much for making your recipes available. I’d also like to know the nutrition count:carbs, fiber, fat, protein, cal. I could plug the recipe into the online site, MyFitnessfinder but, if someone has already calculated the numbers, it would save me a lot of time.
Hi TK, I just updated the recipe with nutrition facts. Hope that helps!
I tried this last night and followed the recipe to a tee. It wasn’t really pizza crust like. It seemed like a baked omelette. I’m not sure if I did something wrong or not. It held the toppings as a crust should, but the texture was a bit grainy and like cooked egg.
★★★
Loved this pizza crust! Thank you! I’m on the Candida diet, which is tough. This recipe make me so happy! Was delicious. Way better than the cauliflower pizza crust! Simple and awesome! Thank you so much! Looking forward to you other recipes!
Glad you liked it!
Just made this crust for lunch. It was amazing. Not as crust as I would’ve liked it, but held up with the toppings well enough that I didn’t need a plate. The “dough” was pretty runny still after I mixed everything and so I hoped for the best. Kind of had the consistency of muffin batter. Anyways, I lned a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread as thinly as could be allowed. Cooked as the recipe instructed. Ended up with a great finished product. Will definitely be making again and often.
★★★★
Thank you so much for this recipe. I’ve recently been diagnosed with a number of medical conditions which is drastically reduced if I can eat. I thought I’d never be able to taste pizza again. I made this and it was beautiful period I did add one more tablespoon of water in because it seemed kind of dry and hard to spread the crust. I also add it in some oregano and a tiny bit of salt. I used to parchment paper and the crust turned out fine. Based on another pizza crust recipe I abused I actually let the crust cool for about 10 minutes before putting the toppings on and putting it back in the oven. That seemed to crisp it up a little bit. Thanks again for the recipe I will definitely be making this again and again and again!
I would like to know if anyone has tried making this ahead of time and freezing it. Someone mentioned it in the thread but nobody had definitely responded and said that they had tried it.
★★★★★
So glad you liked it!
I haven’t frozen it yet, but it’s on my to-do list!
I made this last night – delicious! I’m going to try making this again topped with just garlic, rosemary and salt as I think it will make a wonderful pizza bianco!! Thank you for sharing this lovely recipe.
★★★★★
I made this today and I have to be honest. I didn’t really care for it. I find coconut flour to be very gritty so, to me, the crust was very dry and gritty. So, I’m still on the lookout for a good low carb pizza crust.
Hi i made this but use blender to make it smoother and the base was very smooth not gritty. If you allow the batter to rest for 5mins it makes the coconut flour absorbs more liquid. Love this recipe and recommend it to anybody who is gluten free.
★★★★★
Did I miss it? The temp for the oven to bake the pizza crust?
400º. 🙂
Would mozzarella cheese work instead of Parmesan?
I think that would be fine.
This is great pizza recipe. I did have to cook it longer with the tomato sauce and cheese on it and then broiled it at the end. Will definitely bake this again. Ps. It’s very fulling!
★★★★★
Hello. I’ve been making my pizza dough using plain greek yogurt and self rising flour. People love it. Prefer mozzarella. I was looking for a higher protein crust and this seems to be the best answer. This, greek yogurt, cheese, and meat toppings should be plenty of protein.
★★★★★
Is it ok to not use cheese? Unfortunately cheese is not paleo.
Yes, it’s mostly for flavor.
I had to add more coconut flour otherwise it had the consistency of cake batter.
Hi Elise! Excellent recipe! Just whipped up a batch this afternoon, very delicious and easy to make. Thank you so much for posting this recipe!
★★★★★
Glad you liked it!
I tried this recipe and it turned out great! 🙂
★★★★★
Just made this because I’m doing Keto. The “dough” is not the consistency of typical dough it’s more like polenta. I used a SIL Pat on my cookie sheet and poured the mixture on that. This is a great alternative to regular pizza dough.
How many can this recipe serve family of three
I do not see the coconut flour pizza crust recipe. Can you please send it to me?
Ugh. So sorry, our recipe plugin has been acting up. The recipe should be there now though.
Has anybody tried with egg whites only? I try to avoid the yolk as much as possible, just preference…
I absolutely loved this.. It was so quick and easy and I made a delicious pizza.. Thank You!
★★★★★
Why can’t I ever see the recipes on your site? Am I doing something wrong?
I don’t know! I actually had several friends look, and they all said the recipes are showing for them, so I’m at a loss for what to do. I’m so sorry about this! I’m trying to figure it out though!
Is it possible to make this without the cheese and have it turn out ok?
The cheese is mostly for flavor, but you may want to add a bit more coconut flour to reach a good consistency in your batter.
Do you think I could skip the Parmesan cheese and use nutritional yeast for cheesy flavor instead 🤔
I haven’t done it personally, but I think it’s definitely worth a try.
This is the best pizza crust ever! Very easy to make and I didn’t miss all the flour, thank you for sharing. 🙂
★★★★★
I’m just starting to use coconut flour. Do you recommend sifting coconut flour before measuring and leveling? Are you using fresh Parmesan cheese or the already processed green can? Thanks
Hi Ashely, I don’t find that sifting coconut flour makes a difference. You have to beat the lumps out of it anyway. As for parmesan, I used dried.
anyone else having a hard time i followed the instructions and somehow got egg goop it said 1/4 cup of coconut flour and it doesn’t seem like its enough.
I will admit, I was a bit skeptical, when I first started spreading the batter into the pizza pan, thinking this is never going to work. To my surprise, it worked really well. Being diabetic, and a pizza lover, I needed to find something that didn’t spike my blood sugars. This crust did the job. Thank you for sharing it.
★★★★★
Awesome! Glad you liked it!
Hi Elise,
Just wondered what makes a portion?
I’m on a keto diet and I need to watch my carbs, so I’m thinking if I have half a pizza does it mean I’m having 8 carbs? Also you are listing fiber in the nutrition, is 16g net carb or simply carb count? I’m trying to leave a few carbs available for the toppings. I hope I didn’t make it sound too complicated, thanks x
a serving is 1/6 of the recipe.
I made this tonight for dinner!! I’m celiac and started Keto 3 weeks ago and missed my gluten free pizza. This is amazing pizza crust!!! It’s so easy to make and super delicious! Thank you so much for making this and sharing it! I used to make gluten free pizza crust before I went Keto and the ingredient list was astronomical, this is so much easier and healthier! Thank you again!
★★★★★
Thanks Brandie! Glad you like it!
Just made this, absolute perfection. Will definitely make this over and over
★★★★★
Hi! I can’t wait to try this at I’m also on the Candida diet. I have an intolerance to egg whites, will just the egg yolks do the trick?
I haven’t tried it, but I’d say it’s definitely worth experimenting with.
Could you please tell me on the pizza crust…how much is a serving
Pizza was amazing! I made it 3 times. Thank you
Have you made several batches and froze it to be used later?
I haven’t.
This recipe was so simplistic and delicious. I added a mixed Italian seasoning along with the other spices for extra flavor. I topped my pizza with Rao’s Homemade Pizza Sauce, mozzarella cheese and some chorizo sausage for a delicious keto-friendly experience.
★★★★★
I made it once following the recipe. It’s very good but I am not a fan of the taste of the coconut flour. So… I made it again. Left out the cheese (since it’s only for foavour and not enough to over power the coconut flour) but instead, I put in a bit of smoked paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper and one clove of garlic. For the topping, I just used Mexican mix. Turned out Delicious!
★★★★★
Sounds delicious! Glad you liked it!
My son and I loved these so much, thank you! It’s 1000% better than the grain-free pizza I ordered recently from a local pizza restaurant! The parmesan is everything.
I’m so glad you liked it!
Great! Easy (I’m usually a terrible chef) and delicious
★★★★★
Do you use the green can parm cheese or can I use fresh shredded parm I have both which should I use.
I use the green can for this particular application.
Bless you for taking the time to post this easy and delicious recipe. Like someone else commented, I was skeptical about it turning out ok because the batter didn’t seem firm enough, but it turned out perfectly. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
★★★★★
So glad you liked it! A lot of wheat-alternative recipes have a completely different texture before they’re cooked. It seems weird at first, but you get used to it.
I’m trying the pizza crust. When all ingredients are combined I still have a wet eggy liquid, not a dough. Is this correct?
Yes, it should be somewhere between cake batter and cookie dough.
Thank you for this wonderful pizza recipe. I’ve been looking and looking for something that was gf and I think this is the one. Pizza is the one thing I’ve really missed since I had to go gluten free…
I made the pizza crust and doubled the recipe , it was super good❤️❤️❤️
