No need to fuss with the shell!This is simple pizza bowl The recipe has all the delicious elements of pizza without any of the mess and hassle…kind of like a skillet Crustless Pizzabut easier.

like a burger in bowl or Burrito in a bowl, these crustless pizza bowls offer endless customization options. I’ve included 5 different topping combinations for you below, but feel free to mix and match your favorite pizza toppings, sauces, and cheeses to create a personalized pizza experience!

Ingredients and Substitutions

This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for your pizza bowl recipe, what each ingredient does in the recipe, and substitution options.For measurements see Recipe card below.

You can use almost any topping you use to make regular pizza to make a pizza bowl! I tested 5 different flavors for you to choose from:

Pizza bowl base:

I used Roasted Cauliflower Use as the base of these pizza bowls (a great way to sneak in veggies!).You can also use cooked ground sausage (or beef) like I did Crustless Pizza, which is very similar. For this cauliflower version, you only need these simple ingredients to bake it:

• cauliflower – This is the bottom “crust” of the pizza.If you prefer, you can substitute cooked cauliflower for roasted cauliflower florets Cauliflower Fried Rice instead.Cooked ground beef or Italian sausage should work too, that’s what I do in my kitchen Skillet Crustless Pizza Recipe.
• olive oil – Avocado oil or any neutral cooking oil will also work.
• sea ​​salt and black pepper – I kept it simple but you can also add italian seasoning Or dried oregano here.

Pepperoni:

If you’re a fan of the classic pepperoni pizza, this creation brings a unique and delightful twist to the popular pizza.

• pizza sauce – To make sure I’m getting clean ingredients, I like to use homemade Sugar Free Pizza Sauce or italian tomato sauce, but store-bought ones work too. You can even simply use tomato paste if you have it on hand.
• mozzarella cheese – Shredded mozzarella cheese is a classic choice for pizza, but you can also use shredded cheddar, provolone, Monterey Jack or a blend of Italian cheeses to make your pizza bowl. Parmesan cheese isn’t ideal on its own, but it works well mixed with other cheeses.
• mini pepperoni – If you can find mini pepperonis, use them. Otherwise, large pepperoni slices cut into quarters will do. Turkey pepperoni works too.

Meat lovers:

Filled with a variety of meats and melted cheese, this bowl brings together your favorite meat-lover’s crustless pizza.

• pizza sauce
• mozzarella cheese
• cooked italian sausage – Any pork sausage, ground pork, turkey sausage, or even ground beef will work.
• Ham – You can use deli ham slices or cut the ham into chunks. You can also add other deli meats, such as salami or ham.
• mini pepperoni – Or cut into quarters regularly.
• bacon – You need to cook it before adding it to the pizza in the bowl – I recommend oven bacon method, but you can also Microwave Bacon or Air fried bacon.even Air Fryer Turkey Bacon will work.

Hawaiian:

Combining sweet pineapple, salty Canadian bacon, and gooey cheese, this bowl captures the essence of classic Hawaiian pizza.

• pizza sauce
• mozzarella cheese
• canadian bacon – You can also use ham.
• cooked bacon
• Pineapple tidbits – If you have fresh diced pineapple on hand, you can use that too.If you need this to be a keto pizza bowl, keep in mind though Pineapple is not ketoa small amount in this recipe should still be keto friendly macro.

vegetarian diet:

Filled with a variety of garden vegetables, this is a great vegetarian pizza option in a bowl.

• pizza sauce
• mozzarella cheese
• Creamy Mushrooms – Also known as “Baby Bellas.” Other fresh mushrooms, such as sliced ​​portobellos, shiitake mushrooms, or simple white button mushrooms, will also work.
• bell pepper – I used green peppers, but any color you have on hand will work.You can even add banana peppers If you like.
• black olives – You can also use green olives if you prefer.

Fresh spinach is also the icing on the cake.

Chicken Alfredo:

If you’re a fan of white pizza, you’ll love this version of the White Pizza Bowl, which combines the comfort flavors of creamy Alfredo sauce, tender chicken, and melted cheese.

• alfredo sauce – You can use store-bought ones, but Homemade Alfredo Sauce It tastes so much better and is so easy to make.Chicken pizza bowls would also work well Sugar-free BBQ Sauce Instead, for added flavor, drizzle ranch dressing Place on top after baking.
• garlic – Use fresh minced garlic for best flavor, or 1 tsp canned minced garlic For convenience.
• Shredded chicken – I used the rest Instant Pot Chicken Breasts and chop it, but you can also dice it Grilled Chicken Breast or Pan-fried chicken breastor just use rotisserie chicken from the store.
• Shallot – Provides a mild, slightly sweet flavor with a hint of spiciness, but you can also use white onions, shallots, or scallions for a different flavor.
• cherry tomatoes – I used cherry tomatoes, but you could use grape tomatoes, diced roma tomatoes, or even sun dried tomatoes Suitable for different flavors and textures.
• mozzarella cheese

If you want to add fresh spinach, that would also be the icing on the cake for this combo.
