Healthy and Easy Gluten-Free High Protein Pizzas

gluten-free high-protein pizzas (so easy & delicious!)

if you’ve ever wanted a quick, protein-packed homemade pizza that’s gluten-free and made with simple, wholesome ingredients, this recipe is for you!

these mini margherita-style pizzas have the perfect balance of crunch, chew, and fresh flavors while being incredibly easy to make.

what do they taste like?

these aren’t your typical fluffy, yeasted pizza crusts—but that’s what makes them special!

since they’re made with just gluten-free flour, non-fat greek yogurt, olive oil, and seasoning, the texture is naturally a little different.

the outside bakes up golden and crisp, while the inside stays soft and slightly chewy.

they hold up beautifully to toppings and have a subtle savory flavor that pairs perfectly with classic ingredients like tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, basil, and juicy tomato slices.

these pizzas are packed with protein!

thanks to the non-fat greek yogurt in the crust, each pizza packs around 27g of protein, making this a great option for a satisfying meal.

it’s rare to find a pizza crust that’s naturally high in protein while being gluten-free, but this one delivers!

plus, the fresh mozzarella adds even more protein and delicious creaminess.

vegan substitutions:

• use a thick plant-based greek-style yogurt like cocojune (avoid runny yogurts, or the dough will be too sticky).
• swap the fresh mozzarella for vegan mozzarella (miyoko’s, violife, or follow your heart work great).
• add nutritional yeast (1 tbsp) to the dough for a little extra savory flavor.

if your yogurt is thinner, you can thicken it by straining it through a cheesecloth or adding a little extra gluten-free flour until the dough is easy to work with.

the texture will still be crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, just like the original!

customize your toppings!

while the classic margherita-style toppings are amazing, you can easily switch things up:

• add veggies like mushrooms, spinach, or roasted red peppers
• try a different cheese like dairy-free mozzarella, feta, or parmesan
• make it extra hearty with plant-based sausage or chickpeas
• go spicy with a sprinkle of chili flakes or a drizzle of hot honey

how to make them

these pizzas are made in three easy steps:

1. mix & knead the dough – just stir together the flour, greek yogurt, olive oil, and seasoning. knead it lightly until smooth.
2. pre-bake the crust – shape into three small pizzas and bake at 400°f for 10 minutes, then flip and bake another 5 minutes. this helps the crust get that crisp, chewy texture.
3. add toppings & finish baking – spread on the tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, and tomato slices, then bake for 10 more minutes until melty and golden.

how to store & reheat

if you have leftovers (which is unlikely!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

to reheat, pop them in the oven at 375°f for about 5 minutes or air fry them for a couple of minutes until warmed through.

whether you’re looking for a high-protein pizza alternative, a quick weeknight dinner, or just a fun gluten-free recipe to try, these mini pizzas are a must-make.

they’re crunchy, chewy, cheesy, and so satisfying! 🍕✨
