Notes

High Protein Pizza Tips & Expert Strategy

TEXTURE DISCLAIMER: Using a store-bought rectangular crust provides a traditional, rigid pizza texture capable of holding heavy toppings without tearing or turning into a soggy mess like cauliflower alternatives.
CHEESE MELTING WARNING: Fat-free cheese will not melt properly if the oven is too cold or if it is completely dry. It must sit directly on the wet pizza sauce and be blasted at 425F to melt before it dehydrates.
THE CRISPING TOUCH: If you want a firmer undercarriage, you can finish the pizza by sliding the crust directly onto the oven rack for the final 2 minutes of baking.
MACRO TRACKING: The macros provided (1,030 calories, 121g carbs) are based specifically on the long rectangular crusts from Wegmans or Trader Joe's. If you substitute a different brand, you must adjust the carbohydrate count accordingly.
