I’ve always loved pizza. It was a childhood favourite food of mine and it’s something I simply could never give up.
The thing is, I was always sensitive to gluten. I knew that I was because I would have stomach reactions after eating too much pizza on occasion. I won’t get into those details. As an adult, I realized what all of that bread and dough was doing to my body — and it wasn’t good. It’s not something to be eaten in excess, let alone on a daily basis.

There are many books on the benefits of eliminating gluten in one’s diet, like the Wheat Belly book. There are also many keto-goers out there who swear by the weight loss resulting from eating a low-carb diet. I can vouch for that.
I even created a highly effective 7-Day Keto Meal Plan with my go-to fat burning recipes.
To the point, these portobello mushroom pizzas are absolutely delicious and hit the spot every time. It’s your all time favourite comfort food, just a healthier version.

We love that it’s ready in 10 minutes, and we can customize the toppings to each one’s tastes. Pepperoni on one, Canadian on another, anchovies on another. Do you love anchovies? Olives and feta cheese are a must-add too!
I also like to sprinkle some chili flakes or add a drizzle of pepper sauce to mine. So good.
We like to serve these with some fresh cut Sweet Potato Fries for the kids, or Bacon Wrapped Asparagus or an Avocado Salad to keep it keto.
Portobello Mushroom Pizza Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need:
- A 2-pack or a 4-pack of portobello mushrooms
- Sugar-free marinara sauce (I use Rao’s or Yo Mama’s as they’re both keto friendly. Primal Kitchen also has some great options as well)
- Italian seasoning
- Shredded mozzarella cheese
- Meat (pepperonis, bacon, ham, chicken, etc.), fresh veggies, or other toppings of choice
- Olive oil
How to Make Portobello Mushrooms
10 minutes and done. Are you ready for it?
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
- Remove stems from mushrooms. Place in a baking dish and layer inside them with the sauce, seasoning, cheese, and pepperoni.
- Drizzle olive oil over the pizzas and stir the mushrooms around the pan to coat the bottoms.
- Bake for 5 minutes and then broil on high for 5 more minutes (keep a close eye not to burn!)
Tip: The longer in the oven, the more juices flow out of your mushrooms when baking. Broiling on high is crucial to crisp up those toppings!
