Frequently Asked Questions
Why pre-bake the meat base?
A first bake firms the beef into a sturdy crust and renders out juices, so the finished pizza is not watery and you can slice it like a real pizza.
How do I stop it being greasy?
Drain the rendered fat and liquid after the first bake before adding toppings. Leaner beef (around 90%) also helps keep it from pooling.
Is it really low-carb?
Yes — the crust is just seasoned beef, so it is naturally low-carb and high-protein. Watch the pizza sauce for added sugar if you are strict.
