Ingredients for Making Keto Pepperoni Pizza Bites
- Fathead Pizza Dough: This easy-to-make pizza dough delivers a tender, chewy pizza bite. Without a doubt one of my favorite keto pizza crusts.
- Mozzarella Cheese: I recommend using freshly grated mozzarella. Pre-shredded typically had additives.
- Parmesan Cheese: Use pre-shredded from the refrigerated section of the grocery or finely shred your own.
- Pepperoni Slices: Use any type of pepperoni that you like. I used turkey pepperoni.
- Keto Marinara: Make your own or use a keto-friendly version.
Tips & Tricks
- If you don’t have the time or don’t feel like making homemade Keto Marinara, I recommend using Rao’s. If you can’t find that, make sure you read the label carefully - not all tomato sauce is keto-friendly due to the sugar content.
- If your dough becomes sticky or stiff and difficult to roll out, you can always reheat it in the microwave for a few seconds before proceeding with making keto pepperoni bites.
- If you like, you can place the individual cut rounds into a sprayed muffin tin for baking.

How to Make Keto Pizza Bites
First, start by preheating your oven and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make the Fathead dough and roll it into a rectangle between two sheets of parchment paper.
Next, sprinkle the cheese and pepperoni over the dough. (Feel free to adjust the amounts to your preference, just make sure you don’t over-stuff or it will be hard to roll.)
