Missing pizza on the keto diet? This major chain now has a low-carb crust

The crust has only 6 net carbs per serving.

Those on the popular keto diet who crave pizza will now be able to satisfy a hankering for the Italian classic without having to whip up their own low-carb version at home.

On Tuesday, Blaze Pizza became the first national chain to offer a keto-friendly pizza crust.

Blaze, which has more than 300 locations in the U.S., Canada and the Middle East, just introduced a new crust that replaces flour with cheese, eggs, flax seed and cauliflower. Blaze, which counts basketball superstar LeBron James among its investors, is known for its Chipotle-style service which allows diners to customize individual pizzas with a la carte toppings before their pie is baked to order.

The low-carb crust has just 6 net carbs for the whole pizza compared with around 80 net carbs in the traditional crust. The keto crust contains roughly the same number of calories per serving.

Bonnie Taub-Dix, RDN, creator of Better Than Dieting and author of "Read It Before You Eat It - Taking You from Label to Table," told TODAY Food via email that "generally, cheese is much lower in sugar/lactose content," so it's allowed for keto dieters and, if you're not indulging in carbs throughout the day, this pizza would keep you within keto guidelines.

In addition to the keto crust, Blaze is also offering a new vegetable-based cauliflower pizza crust made with cauliflower, mozzarella cheese, rice flour, egg whites and cultured brown rice, among other ingredients. Cauliflower pizza crusts are increasingly popular with options available at California Pizza Kitchen and as part of Oprah's O! That's Good food line.

Both of the new crusts are also gluten free and will set customers back an additional $2 to $5 per pizza, depending on the market.

So far, people are champing at the bit to get their hands on a keto crust, with many wanting to know if it's already being offered at their local Blaze.

Oh man, I've been waiting for someone to do this for a long time.

Now I just have to wait for someone in my area to do it. :lol:

i DON'T like the cane sugar or the canola oil or the rice.

my letter to blaze:

Blaze Pizza,

Greetings. I got excited when I heard you had keto crust pizza, then I looked at your ingredients. Cane sugar does not make a "keto crust" pizza. Sugar is poison. Canola oil? Have you heard of Omega 6 seed oils? Very bad for your heart / health. Rice? Just as bad as gluten / wheat.

If / when you fix those three items (remove them) I will try one of your pies.

Sincerely,

Perhaps it will be the money-making food companies that will lead the keto "craze" and serve the growing numbers of lowcarbers UNTIL the medical and political bureaucrats get it.

Thanks s9 for pointing out the ingredient flaws..... I too will pass on this pizza.

I can't believe that it really is happening, I really hope that other countries will offer the same food service. I am not a fan of pizza but I do crave for it.
