Low Carb Pizza Recipe (Spicy Pepperoni)
Now that you have a basic gourmet-style low carb pizza crust recipe, lets continue with a very basic low carb pizza recipe. This pepperoni pizza recipe is one of the more popular kinds of pizzas made. While using pepperoni results in a delicious low carb pizza recipe, it is also simple to make. So, let’s get started with this simple recipe post.
This low carb pizza recipe is a low carb, high fat recipe. Therefore, you will not have low carb munchies soon after eating this pizza. Pepperoni is a low carb meat, however, it is not a lean meat. Then, I added cheese which is another low carb food that is higher in fat. So, do not let this mini low carb pizza fool you – you will be quite satisfied after eating it.
If you have been following the blog, I mentioned that you can get the complete low carb pizza crust and pizza toppings recipe in the SIMPLE – Fall 2018 edition of the low carb magazine. You will likely do better getting your ingredients from a local grocery delivery service. However, I have also included links for delivery through the mail.

Conclusion
This is a really easy low carb pizza recipe. I like my pepperoni pizza recipe to be a little spicy. However, you can easily adapt the recipe to make a regular pepperoni pizza. Simply omit the spicy ingredients! Then use a little water to thin out the paste instead of jalapeno juice.
I find the fresh pizza crust to be the best. However, you can make an extra pizza crust and store it in the refrigerator for a day. When you get ready to use it with your low carb pizza recipe, preheat the oven to 300 degrees. In this way, you can let the pizza topping warm up slowly without over-cooking the crust. This concludes the low carb pizza crust recipe.
