Well, here it is. After trying coconut flour pizza crusts (we were not huge fans) and multiple tries at other types of pizza crusts, this is what has emerged from my kitchen. This is one of our favorite recipes, yet I feel like there may still be some revisions coming with temperatures and baking times. I realize the picture has cheese on it (we eat our pizza with cheese), but if you are dairy-free, you can certainly make it without! This is just a recipe for a basic crust. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Note: This makes one, large pizza. If you would like to make a smaller pizza, I will include a condensed recipe below.
Pizza Crust (Grain-free)
Ingredients:
2 cups almond flour (I now use Honeyville almond flour because I like the texture better)
1 cup arrowroot powder (or tapioca flour)
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. oregano
1/4 tsp. black pepper
3 eggs
1/2 cup homemade almond milk (or milk of choice–we now use unsweetened coconut milk)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Grease a round pizza pan (no holes) or cookie sheet. (I use a 15″ round baking stone.)
2. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk to blend together.
3. Add eggs and almond milk to the dry ingredients. Mix well. (The batter will be runny–not like typical pizza dough.)
4. Use a spatula to spread batter onto greased pan.
5. Bake crust in preheated oven 8-12 minutes.
6. Remove crust from oven and top with sauce and desired toppings.
7. Bake for another 10-15 minutes. Enjoy!
*Note: the thicker you spread your crust, the longer you will need to bake it the first time. I have occasionally made it thicker and the middle was still slightly gooey. I recommend spreading it thin or baking it long enough so that the middle is well done.
Let me know what you tried and if you experiment with times/temps!
Here is the smaller version of the recipe:
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cup almond flour (like I said above…I recommend Honeyville)
3/4 cup arrowroot
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. oregano
1/8 tsp. black pepper
2 eggs
1/3 cup almond milk
Directions: Same as above, but cooking times will probably be shorter unless you make it thick.

This is exactly what I have been looking for. Grain-free Paleo Pizza crust. I really do appreciate your sharing this recipe with us.

Paleo diet should always be associated with a healthy lifestyle and lot of exercise to burn those unnecessary fats. Now I know what to buy for this diet plan. This will really help me a lot and save time searching for ingredients.

I must have done something wrong. My batter was not runny at all. In fact it was so much flour that I couldn’t even get it to make a ball of dough until I added about 3 cups of almond milk! Something has to be wrong with the recipe measurements because even just looking at a 3 cup ratio to 3 eggs and 1/2 cup almond milk it is clear it would NOT be runny! The crust turned out just okay.

Is there any difference in cooking instructions if you use a pizza stone? Do you still use a pan and set it on top of the pizza stone or do you pit it on parchment paper and set that on the stone?
Jennifer @ The Unrefined Kitchen
Jul 19, 2017 -
Nope! I’m making this as we speak 🙂 I just rub coconut oil (you could use olive oil or butter as well) on the stone then spread the batter around on the stone. Hope you like it!

This looks like a fantastic recipe… but I have a warning about how you mix it…
I’m following the wheatbelly diet, similar to paleo, but mainly resticting grains… And in the recipe books I saw a warning about using baking soda/powder with eggs. Basically the baking soda reacts with the protien in the egg to produce amonia, and not in a good way.
The solution is to add the non-egg wet ingredients first, and give it some time to turn the baking soda into co2 bubbles (just a few seconds) . Once that is mixed well, let it rest a minute, then fold in your beaten eggs.

Tried this recipe today for dinner. The pizza was fabulous! The crust recipe was perfect and tasted great. Held up to hand eating too.

First try…
Replaced Arrow Root by Corn Starch (no Arrow Root in store).
The dough was nice and easy to make.
Yet a little sugary and crumbly.
Did any of you had that?
Nice base.
I m gonna try again!!

You can add 1/4 cup of any bean flour for a little more elasticity and add some Parm/roman cheese and basil. My family didnt know the difference. I usually make my own crust & sauce and I tried it twith these ingredients and no one new 😉

What kind of bean flour? Thanks!
Adrien
Apr 1, 2015 -
Not sure it s really usefull here as Almond Flour has more protein than strong potein bean flour like Garbonzo for exemple…
Marie

Very good recipe. I added more pizza spices and 1/4 cup coconut flour to the larger version. It does make the dough a little thicker which can then be pat out with wet hands. Turns out fluffy and holds together very well. My husband loves it. I would give it a 5/5 star. Best scratch pizza crust I have found yet.
Lois

Yummy!!! Jennifer, I have not been grain free very long. But long enough to know the grain free bread taste and acts so different from wheat dough when you are making and baking. I did use tapioca starch and 1 tablespoon of coconut flour. I think I was expecting a wheat like dough, but of course it is not like that at all. I added garlic salt but left the other salt in too. It was just a tad bit over salted. Next time garlic powder or garlic salt and no other salt. We had spinach, tomato, garlic, bacon, sausage and proscoitto. It was so filling I could not eat all of my piece. My husband, however, went back for seconds.
Thanks for the recipe.

We do not follow any special diet, but I was looking for a low-carb pizza crust and found this one. Though it isn’t a low carb meal, (arrowroot has 9g per tablespoon), it’s easy and very, very good.
As far as pizza goes, however – it’s extremely low carb. I made the full recipe, which made two medium crusts (both crusts together have about 194g of carbs). My husband and I ate one of the pizza’s. So that means I had about 49g of carbs for dinner. Domino’s medium Vegi Feast pizza has 256g carbs (what??). Half of that would be 128g of carbs. That’s a 79g difference!! So, yeah, this pizza is lower carb than a chain pizza and it’s so much better for you. Also it’s far more filling than regular pizza – I couldn’t eat more than 2 slices, where I can knock back three or four slices of chain pizza, easily, if I’m hungry.
Another commenter said the crust is reminiscent of a frozen pizza crust, and that’s a good insight. It held up great under my pizza sauce, mozz, mushrooms, onions, spinach and fresh tomato. I added a little parm cheese to the batter and that was nice. Next time, I’ll cut down on the salt a bit. Lastly, I want to try an egg-free version (using the flax/water replacement), so I’ll post my results here. . .
Thank you for a really wonderful and easy recipe!

Christine, you can replace the arroe root powder with tapioca powder and table spoon of coconut flour. It should reduce the carb count by a lot.
Christine
Feb 25, 2014 -
Thank you – looks like Tapioca is 6.5g per tablespoon vs. 9g for arrowroot. I’ll try it!

Tapioca flour/starch has more carbs than arrowroot powder.

Hi this looks awesome and has some many great reviews. I have a nut allergy in the house and was wondering if the almond flour can be substituted for anything else? I have tried many coconut based crust which I haven’t loved. Would appreciate your feedback. Thanks

I am using a stainless steel 12″ round. The first one we made was too thick (like bread). The second and third ones I halved and it turned out good except it stuck to the pan and was so soft we had to use a knife and fork. Should I not use a stainless steel pan? Cook longer? I greased it with cooking spray the first time and olive oil the second. Otherwise the taste is good 🙂
Jennifer @ The Unrefined Kitchen
Feb 26, 2014 -
Hi–you could try parchment paper…I bake my pizzas on a stone and rub butter all over the pan before I spread the crust on it. I’ve never tried it with a cooking spray.
Marie
May 4, 2014 -
Cooking spray works fine. I used it with excellent results.
Jennifer @ The Unrefined Kitchen

Also, cook the crust until it is lightly browned, then add the toppings. Hope that helps!

Since going GF, I always use parchment paper in my pizza pan for crust. I don’t bother greasing it-never had a problem with sticking. It makes spreading easier and clean up is much faster!

Hands down the best “alternative” pizza I’ve ever made. I replaced the arrow root powder with 1 cup tapioca flour and 1 tablespoon coconut flour. I cooked the crust for 15 minutes and then let it sit for 5 minutes before putting the toppings on. GREAT pizza!! Thank you!!
Kim

I’ve never posted a review before but couldn’t help myself this time. Just tried this pizza crust and couldn’t believe how easy it came together. I followed the recipe but used regular milk instead. Haven’t had pizza since going wheat free 2 months ago. Hubby was going thru pizza withdrawal. This was so good!!! Hubby wants me to make it once a week…that’s funny ’cause I never made homemade pizza in the past! Don’t be afraid to try it. It really is very good. Can’t wait to experiment with different toppings and spices but the crust is perfect the way it is.

I am on the paleo diet for digestive reasons. I LOVED this pizza crust but it had way to much arrowroot starch for me. Made me sick after I ate it (I had it for two different meals and got sick both times.) I am very sad because this was definitely the best paleo pizza crust I have made so far.

What can I sub for the arrowroot since i’m low carb and it’s high in carbs. This crust looks amazing.

You can substitute tapioca flour/starch but that might be the same carb count.

I have tried SO MANY pizza crust recipes, and this one blows the rest out of the water. Seriously, it was so good my roommate and I ate a whole pan of it in one night. Naughty, but worth it.
I did add a bit of garlic powder to the crust as some people mentioned. I would also recommend baking it for longer during the first wave of baking, between 10-12 minutes. I did it for 8, and while the pizza crust still held up, I think it wouldn’t have been a little firmer if we had added the sauce and toppings to a sturdier base. My two cents!
We’ll be making it again this weekend, but using it for a “breakfast pizza” instead. We will also use this recipe to make little chips- just bake the whole thing and then shatter it. Dip it into paleo hummus!
Jennifer
Aug 10, 2013 -
Sweet! Thanks for the comment! I’ve never had breakfast pizza…what do you put on it?
Olivia

This is our new go-to crust. I substitute tapioca flour for the arrowroot, and it makes three cake-pan thick crust pies. The people in my family who still eat grains say this is a great crust, too! Thanks for sharing!

Glad to hear tapioca works in place of arrowroot! I recently learned my daughter can’t eat arrowroot but can eat tapioca!

This crust is amazing!!! Makes a thin, crispy crust that holds up great to LOTS of toppings. I topped it with homemade pizza sauce (in my vitamix – yum!), nitrate free Canadian bacon, sautéed onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, artichokes, black olives and a little mozzarella! My husband, who is not following Paleo, ate 3 pieces and though is was great!!! Big hit at my house! Thank you for the great recipe!

Apr 10, 2013 -
My husband and I love you! Thought that we’d never again enjoy pizza since going paleo. I made the smaller version, adding 1 T coconut flour (as per another comment). It held up well for my fresh tomato topping. We thought that it was better than any thin crust pizza that we’ve ever had. Thank you!!!

I had posted a previous comment, but felt the need for a follow up. My daughter is not pale, but IS GF and IS VERY picky. She ate the leftover pizza today and loved it. She basically said that regular wood grilled pizza is the bomb, but I can’t have that….and this is my favorite GF so far. That is HIGH praise — because she has tried quite a few GF pizzas. Including a pizza place in town that she typically begs us to visit. THIS recipe topped them! GREAT JOB — ! o

My husband and I have been pizza ‘aficionados’ as long as I can remember. Then we started Paleo and pizza went buy buy, with the exception of an occasional cheat treat. In an effort to try to avoid even those occasional cheat treats, I have tried numerous recipes for paleo pizza. BLECH (for the others)! I tried THIS recipe today and kept it simple with the toppings, a good quality mozzarella and pepperoni. To my surprise, it was not horrible. I would actually make this again and be satisfied and am quite sure that it would squash any pizza cravings. It did not have that cardboard taste and texture that some of the paleo crusts have. Now, lets be real — it also is not the bread crusty wood grilled pizza that you get at a pizzaria but if you are following Paleo you should know by now that is not going to be possible. So — definitely 4-5 stars as compared to other paleo pizza crusts! Well done! I may even try this recipe to make mini pizzas for my daughter using my muffin top pan.

I’ve done the parmesan/cream cheese/egg crust thing (so-so) and cauliflower crust (pretty good) , but this was so much more like real pizza! I made the smaller recipe (I use Honeyville almond flour) and added about 1/4 tsp garlic powder. I spread it on parchment and placed it on a heated pizza stone. I made it quite thin and it turned out much like your picture. I cooked it for 8 minutes then flipped the crust over and put my toppings on (sauce, cheese, pepperoni). This made it crispy (but not overly crispy). Next time I try this (and there will definitely be a next time!) I think I might try subbing some grated parmesan for the almond flour to see how that would turn out. With it nice and thin, this very much reminded me of the el-cheapo-horrible-for-you-but-soo-yummy Tony’s pizzas my family loves (but we no longer eat like that) but so much better! Thank you for the recipe!

I tried the recipe today but the dough wasn’t runny at all. I had to add lots of water. Is it really 1 cup arrowroot powder ?! It was really sticky and hard to work with
Jennifer

Yes–the bigger recipe is 2 cups almond flour and 1 cup arrowroot with 1/2 cup milk and 3 eggs (+ spices). You have to use a spatula to spread it and work with it a bit.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for this recipe!! My husband and I have tried switching to paleo or low carb eating in the past but are always craving some old foods and pizza is at the top of that list. We made this last night and enjoyed it with some fellow paleo friends and it was DELICIOUS!!! We all were a little skeptical since the batter does not look like traditional pizza dough but OH MY were we delighted when our pizzas came out of the oven! This was even better than any traditional white flour crust. My 4 year old daughter, who usually eats only toppings on pizza, ate EVERY bite…so that is good enough for me! Thanks again, and I will definitely be checking out other recipes of yours for the future!!
Amy
Feb 8, 2013 -
This was an amazing crust! Thank you. My non paleo boyfriend thought this was the best thing to come out of my grain free kitchen : )
I greased my pizza stone with coconut oil, added about 2 tbsp of coconut flour to the recipe to create a slightly thicker texture, and used half almond half coconut milk. I pre cooked the crust 15 mins because I wanted to make sure it would hold up to all my toppings. I added like 2 cups of veg to my pizza.
The crust was thick, well cooked and held up to my excessive amounts of meat, cheese and veg!!
We thought we would need forks and knives, but they weren’t necessary. This crust held up better then my old white flour pizza crust recipe.
Thank you so much for sharing this!

Thanks for this fantastic recipe! We’ve quit sugar & grains, so needed a pizza base my 7yo daughter would eat without batting an eyelid. She actually made this base herself & declared it to be the “BEST pizza she’s ever had!!!”. I can’t have nuts, but I had a little nibble & it was totally delish! The only thing I didn’t have was almond milk, so I used the last little bit of organic unhomogenised dairy milk we had in the fridge & topped it up with water (about 1:1).

Hello all I am a chef recently converted paleo. This is a very well thought out recipie. I found you have to make sure to cook the crust very well or else it will get soggy after. The first time I made it I thought I burned it a little but it turned out great, so realy push the browning on it. when it turns a nice dark golden color give it another 6 min.

Fantastic!!! I made this last night and it was so great to feel like I was eating real pizza. I do use dairy, so used half & half in the crust, as I didn’t have almond milk on hand. Reheated it in the toaster oven for breakfast and it was just as good as last night. THANK YOU!!!!

Probably, though if you are buying it in a spice jar you are probably paying an arm and a leg for it.

I made this tonight at it was excellent! I did half arrowroot half tapioca starch but it probably didn’t make a difference. I also added italian seasoning and a little garlic powder. Have you tried making this with less arrowroot? I liked the texture but I am trying not to get too many starches. Just wondering if you could use less and still get a nice texture.
Phyllis Bray
Jun 19, 2012 -
Tried using tapioca flour instead of arrowroot when I made the pizza last night. It turned out great!! Really delicious recipe. Thanks for sharing. Oh, I also used coconut milk instead of almond, but doubt that it made a difference as far as taste.
Phyllis Bray

Do you think I could use Tapioca Flour (that’s what I have on hand) instead of the arrowroot? I think they have the same consistency, but not sure. Never bought arrowroot flour before.

Gosh, how impressed am I!!! Looking at the basic list of ingredients I didn’t imagine for one moment this would turn out to have any vague similarity to a “real” pizza crust, but it’s actually really, really good! I’ve made just about every other baked good under the sun with almond flour (home ground) but had steered clear of pizza crust because I just couldn’t bear the idea of having to settle for something inferior to my favorite food. So I just chose to go without. Now I don’t have to! I honestly can’t quite convey how excited I am about this. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Thank you so very much for your reliable and tasty recipes! Oh and by the way I used ground up sunflower seeds for half of the recipe since I ran out of almonds and it still worked great.

WOWWW is all I can say about this crust!!!!!!! I just made it and it was SOOO good!!!!!! It literally tasted just like regular bread/crust. Thank you for this recipe!! I’ve been wanting to try a paleo pizza crust, but the most popular ones seem to be the coconut flour crusts and the almond flour/oil/egg crusts, which seem like they would be gross to me. I did make a couple changes that I think might have helped (but I don’t know, because I didn’t try this recipe without the changes, so I could be wrong.) I added 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum and I used my own almond flour that I ground up in my Vitamix (which makes a WAYY finer flour than Bob’s Red Mill, so there is absolutely zero graininess.) I’m definitely going to write a post in my blog about this crust, so I’ll let you know when I do!

This looks great! I am planning to make it Friday night. My poor hubby sure misses eating pizza! Do you think I could use this dough to make calzones?
Found you on Pinterest, by the way! 🙂

Hm…not sure. I’ve never made calzones before.

I tried this recipe last night. It was amazing!!! Thank you so much for posting it. I have tried a bunch of other grain free pizza crusts before, but this was the BEST yet!

What a beautiful crust! I’m just really impressed with it. So much in fact, I am going to make it this weekend! Pizza is the best weekend food, no?!
Thanks for a great recipe! Love your blog.
Have a great weekend!
Be Well,

I am so excited to see this recipe! I’ve been wondering about paleo pizza options (that don’t involve the word “meatza” and a ground beef crust) and this looks great!
