This low carb breakfast pizza is perfect for lazy Saturday mornings, but we love it for brinner too! It’s loaded with bacon, sausage, eggs, and cheese so it’s very filling and only has 3 net carbs per serving!
Things I’m obsessed with: Breakfast. And pizza. Also, breakfast pizza. ๐
In the Midwest we have a gas station chain that makes the BEST pizza. Sounds weird to order pizza from a gas station, but it’s my favorite. Their taco pizza is amazing, but their breakfast pizza is where it’s really at.
I had to recreate a keto breakfast pizza recipe at home and I’m so glad I did. This is so darn good!
You could really use whatever meats you like on here, but I’m using sausage and bacon. Can’t go wrong with bacon, right?

How to make breakfast pizza:
We’re going to start with the crust. For a low carb pizza crust, my go to is fathead pizza crust. It’s made with ingredients that I always have on hand and it’s beyond easy to throw together.
Plus, my whole family loves it and, because of the cheese and almond flour, it’s very filling so you don’t end up eating an entire pizza. ๐
To make the crust, you’ll melt together mozzarella and cream cheese in a microwave safe bowl and then stir in an egg and some almond flour.
Stir that together to form the crust and then roll it out to fit your pizza pan.
I use this pizza pan (affiliate) and I ALWAYS line with parchment. Fathead dough will stick if you don’t line your pan. Do not skip this step.
Bake your crust until it’s just about cooked through – about 10 minutes.
Then, whip up some scrambled eggs. I like my eggs nice and fluffy and always add in a bit of heavy cream. I like to pull my eggs when they’re still just a bit wet as they’ll finish off in the oven.
Layer on the eggs, cheese, and meat! Looks amazing already, doesn’t it?
I originally made this recipe with just a heavy sprinkle of cheddar cheese, but a reader asked about using my cheese sauce instead. I gave it a try and woah. It’s so good and I highly recommend using the cheese sauce! ๐
Pop this back in the oven for another 5 minutes or so to melt the cheese and finish off the crust.
Sprinkle on some green onions and dig in!
This breakfast pizza is seriously amazing and it’s the biggest hit for breakfast or dinner. We’re pretty obsessed with it.

This was a lot of work but it was delicious and a nice change for breakfast! The cheese sauce is the BOMB!
Karly Campbell says
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks, Monica!
Cindy Wilke says
This is so good! I made the cheese sauce and it was really good on this pizza. The only thing is that with the crust itโs a lot of cheese. We didnโt use the green onions because they frozen in the frig but will next time! Along with green peppers.
Karly Campbell says
Yeah, it is a lot of cheese. We can generally only eat one slice because so much cheese is quite filling and has a good amount of protein. ๐
Erin says
This recipe is DELICIOUS! I had eggs, Canadian bacon, and bacon bits on hand so those were my toppings. I made the cheese sauce and it was so good on the pizza – leftovers for steamed veggies, too. Iโve tried a lot of different fat-head dough recipes and this one turned out perfect! Thanks so much for posting.
Karly Campbell says
Yay! Love to hear that! ๐
Jimmy says
That is an excellent idea for breakfast because it can be used as an snack or another meal. And it has all the nutrients to satisfy your hunger and not feel guilty
Pam says
Born and raised in Iowa! Now I’m in the Las Vegas area, what is the cheese sauce recipe please. Planning a breakfast dinner tomorrow and this would be a hit!
Karly Campbell says
Hi Pam! It’s linked in the recipe card or you can find it here.
Jeanne says
Hi, I do not see the recipe for the cheese sauce, could you let me know? Maybe I am just missing it. Thank you.
Karly Campbell says
Hi Jeanne! It’s a link – you just have to click where it calls for the cheese sauce.
Jeanne Livingston says
Oh, my, I see it! Thank you!!
Karly Campbell says
Glad you found it! ๐
/tami says
Can you freeze it for a quick breakfast during the week?
Karly Campbell says
I’ve never tried freezing this one. Not sure how it would work.
Suzanne says
This looks amazing, and I really need some new breakfast recipes. I’ve been living on eggs and avocado lately.
Karly Campbell says
Hard to go wrong with eggs and avocado, but I think you’ll enjoy changing it up with this pizza! ๐
Marcy says
I need to figure out a crust that doesn’t involve a microwave. Any ideas?
I loved Casey’s pizza and it doesn’t love me! Lol
Karly Campbell says
Hmm, you could try a cauliflower crust maybe?
Kara says
I just want you to know I read this blog post from Washington DC but I’m from Iowa, and the moment I read your first paragraph I knew you were talking about Casey’s. Went to comment and….yep.
Karly Campbell says
Their pizza is so good! ๐
Lyn Johnson says
I have a nut allergy. Is there another type of flour that can be used that still keeps the carbs down? And if so would measurements stay the same? Thanks it looks so good.
Karly Campbell says
Hi Lyn! 1/4 cup of coconut flour should work as well.
Lyn Johnson says
Awesome thanks!
kristi says
Think you could make crust night before and then do eggs and such?
Karly Campbell says
I haven’t tried, but I think it would work fine.
Leanne says
For the cream cheese, is it 2 tbsp off the block or the spreadable kind?
Karly Campbell says
I think either would work the same, so long as it’s not the whipped kind. I used the block.
Pamela says
Love it
Kelly says
Just saved this to try. Looks sooo good! Just FYI the link for the cheese sauce is associated with the grated cheese and not the cheese sauce in the recipe ๐
Wendy says
As soon as I saw Midwest I knew you were talking about Casey’s. I moved away from Iowa a few years ago and that is one of the things I miss most!! Their pizza is amazing!
Vickie says
Casey’s bacon breakfast pizza is my most favorite pizza bar none! Casey’s breakfast pizza does contain a cheese sauce in place of a tomato sauce under their toppings. Would your easy cheese sauce work in this recipe or do you think just sprinkling cheese is a better way to go?
Karly Campbell says
I think the cheese sauce would work! A light smear of cream cheese would probably be good too. ๐
Karly Campbell says
Hi Vickie! So, I was so intrigued by your idea of trying this with cheese sauce (whyyyyy didn’t I think of that?!) that I made this for brinner last night. OMG. It’s better than the original recipe and I’m going to update the recipe card to note that. ๐ Great idea!!
Vickie says
Awww-thanks Karly! I really do love that pizza but it took me a bit to find out what that “sauce” was on the pizza. One of the workers at Casey’s told me it was a cheese sauce. I knew you had a low carb cheese sauce but I have not made it yet-was hoping it would work. Thanks for letting us know!
Kristin says
Casey’s is the best! And unfortunately, we have one about 90 seconds from our house. LOL. This will be a much better option for me. Excited to try. Thanks for sharing
Lisa Diaz says
This pizza was amazing the prep time was longer than 15 minutes but so worth it thank you!! My new favorite breakfast change from the norm!
Karly Campbell says
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I’m admittedly very fast in the kitchen and always have a hard time figuring out an average prep time. Sorry about that!
Brknopf says
Are you speaking of Caseyโs????
Karly Campbell says
I am!! Love their pizza!
Brknopf says
Whenever we go home to visit family our first priority is taco pizza!
