This pizza has changed my life forever. I just couldn’t let go of regular pizza. Your keto pepperoni pizza is better than any regular pizza I have had. I added banana peppers and it was awesome!
I made the Keto pepperoni pizza last night and love it! It was easy to put together and the pizza tastes great. I am so happy to have Keto friendly pizza to eat when the rest of the family is eating regular pizza. My youngest son says he likes “Mom’s” pizza the best.
I am very happy with this recipe for Keto pepperoni pizza. I am always on the lookout for Keto meal options that I can serve to the whole family so I don’t have to put together two meals – one for me on Keto and one for the kids. This pizza is wonderful because the kids love it and I like it better than traditional pizza and can still stay Keto. This low carb pizza is simple to put together and my kids like to help me assemble it. Thanks Jessica.
I made this Keto Pepperoni Pizza last weekend when my friend came over to watch the game. I ordered a pizza for him from our local shop and made the Keto Pepperoni pizza recipe for me.

It is so helpful to have a great tasting Keto pizza to eat that keeps me strong on my Keto lifestyle and allows me to easily socialize with my non-Keto friends.
