Pizza has always been one of my favorite foods. Meatza is the perfect way for carnivores to still enjoy this delicious dish! In this recipe I use ground chicken for the crust, but you can use any ground meat that you prefer. I've also used Italian sausage for the crust which tasted delicious, however it has a higher fat content than chicken so it can be a little messy when cooking it in the oven. I recommend placing your spring form pan on a baking sheet to catch any of the fat and meat drippings. You can also fill your meatza with any meat that you would like and add your favorite keto or meaty toppings as well. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator. This meatza reheats well in the air fryer or oven, so it's great for meal prep.
