What Is Protein Pizza?

Protein pizza transforms your favorite comfort food into a muscle-building meal by reimagining the crust with high-protein ingredients. Instead of traditional white flour dough, protein pizza uses ingredients like chicken breast, protein powder, Greek yogurt, or cauliflower to create crusts that deliver 30-50 grams of protein per serving.

The beauty of protein pizza lies in maintaining that satisfying pizza experience while dramatically improving the nutritional profile. Whether you prefer a chewy, bread-like crust or a crispy thin crust, there are protein pizza recipes to match every texture preference and dietary goal.

From the viral chicken crust pizza to Greek yogurt flatbreads and protein powder doughs, protein pizza offers endless possibilities for macro-conscious pizza lovers. Top with your favorite ingredients, knowing your crust is already doing heavy lifting for your protein goals.
