What Is a Crustless Pizza Bowl?

Think of it as pizza reinvented — all your favorite gooey, cheesy, savory toppings baked together in a single bowl, but without the carb-heavy crust. You still get all the flavor of traditional pizza — melted mozzarella, tangy sauce, pepperoni, and veggies — layered over a base of seasoned ground chicken.

The result? A dish that’s hearty, low-carb, and bursting with pizza flavor in every bite.
