CHICKEN:

KETO MARINARA SAUCE:

SHREDDED MOZZARELLA CHEESE:

• We can use the fresh, shredded mozzarella to make the tastiest, melting, gooey topping. You can also add provolone or Parmesan cheese for extra taste.

PEPPERONI:

• We can choose uncured or nitrate-free varieties to keep pepperoni as clean as possible for the keto diet. You can also use chicken or turkey pepperoni for a lower-fat option.
