Just in time for Valentine’s Day, here’s a husband-approved ALTERNATIVE pizza crust. Most dudes can’t stand to have their beloved food items swapped out for “healthier” versions. Enter the meatza and the spinach crust. Meatza is a pizza that has meat as the crust, then your basic pizza sauce, toppings, and cheese. The spinach crust pizza is a mixture of spinach, eggs, and parmesan cheese topped with all the regulars. I have yet to attempt a meatza, but they are all over the blogosphere. For now, I leave you with the low-carb, gluten-free, grain-free, nut-free savior of pizza night. Meatza is in the queue

  3. In a bowl, mix crust ingredients until well combined.
  4. On a greased or parchment lined baking sheet, spread crust evenly.

** This would also make a great breakfast pizza with some bacon, veggies, and jack cheese!

  1. I really like this idea! Is the crust on the soft side? 🙂
