I have finally done it. I’ve found a recipe for grain-free pizza that doesn’t include any crappy ingredients. I’ve been searching for this for YEARS.
There have been so many cauliflower pizzas in my house (which really are nothing like pizza, you can’t even hold a slice of it like pizza) and almond flour pizzas (which have bad texture and well, taste like almond flour). I’ve made coconut flour pizza and it has both a bad texture and bad taste. I have even had those all-purpose gluten-free pizza mixes, which are remarkably similar to cardboard. I had resigned myself to the fact that the only pizza that could ever truly taste like pizza, is a wheat-based crust. Until now.
This recipe isn’t all me. I’ve gone Sandra Lee Semi-Homemade on ya for this one. The crust mix does come out of a box. But guess what? It’s made of tapioca, a safe starch. And I’m so flipping happy I found it. I can finally eat pizza again. I thought maybe since I haven’t had real pizza in so long, that this was just my warped taste buds thinking it tasted awesome, but Scott loved it too. He is never shy about telling me when my recipes taste like crap. He has hated every single paleo pizza I’ve made. I ate two slices of this pizza, he ate the rest. I’m telling you, it’s LEGIT.
How to make the best Paleo Pizza:
Top with sauce.
Top with cheese and toppings.
Bake on 450F for about 20 minutes.
This pizza stood up to my rigorous pizza standards. It wasn’t floppy. I could hold it like a real piece of pizza.
It even had the bubbles in it like wheaty pizzas! I mean, REALLY. This bad boy was AMAZING.
PS – If you’re going to be nit-picky about cheese being paleo, read this post.
Sauce recipe:
I simply mixed 1/2 cup of tomato sauce with a sprinkle of garlic, oregano and three fresh basil leaves that I finely chopped. You can get fancy with this if you want, but this worked great for me.

I’ve made chebe pizza before and it’s great!! I wish I had a recipe that doesn’t include cheese!
Why would you ever want to not include cheese?!
This looks really great! Unfortunately, I can’t get the flour mix in my country. Would it work if I just use tapioca flour and add a bit of seasoning? Thanks
I would assume that would work, since the mix is essentially just tapioca flour. Please let me know how it turns out!
Another grain free pizza:
Combine 3 eggs, 2 dl grated (always full fat) cheese, 1 dl almond meal. Smear on a baking sheet. Bake in the mid section for 10-12 minutes, 225 degrees C.
Ad your choice of topping and bake for 10-12 more minutes. My favorite is hot (homemade) tomato sauce, lots of grated cheese, leeks, Serrano ham, goat cheese or blue cheese.

Sounds yummy, but I’m confused. I thought cheese wasn’t allowed if you are following a Paleo Diet.

I need to be on the lookout for that crust mix – this looks perfect!
