Ingredients

• 1 Golden Home Super Thin Pizza Crust or low-carb crust of choice
• 1/3 cup pizza sauce, blended San Marzano tomatoes or canned sauce
• 1/2 cup part-skim shredded mozzarella cheese
• 10–12 pepperoni slices
• 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms
• 1–2 fresh jalapeños, thinly sliced
• optional red pepper flakes and Italian seasoning

Kev Tip

Bake directly on the rack or a pizza stone. That is the easiest way to get the thin crust crispy instead of soft in the center.

Make It Fit Your Macros Lower calorie: use turkey pepperoni and a 50/50 mix of part-skim and fat-free mozzarella.
Higher protein: add grilled chicken, lean turkey sausage, or seasoned ground turkey.
Lower carb: use a low-carb tortilla, flatbread, or lower-carb pizza crust.

Volume + Vegan Swaps Add mushrooms, spinach, onions, and peppers for more volume. For vegan, use plant-based pepperoni and dairy-free cheese.

Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven to 425°F, or follow the instructions for your crust.
2. 2Spread pizza sauce evenly over the crust.
3. 3Add mozzarella cheese, then layer on pepperoni, mushrooms, and jalapeños.
4. 4Bake directly on the oven rack or on a pizza stone for 8–12 minutes, until the cheese bubbles and crust crisps.
5. 5Finish with red pepper flakes or Italian seasoning if desired.
6. 6Slice and serve hot.

Pizza Night Notes

Pizza can fit — the build matters. A thin crust, measured cheese, leaner toppings, and extra vegetables make this feel like pizza night while still keeping the macros controlled.

Best texture move. Let it rest for 1–2 minutes after baking so the cheese sets slightly and the slices hold together.
