Thin crust is a proper substitute. It will work just fine and save $$ and time.

I've worked in Pizzeria's for almost 10 years, even in a thin crust pizza the carbs you will be getting will be way to high. If you are going to be fine with that amount of carbs you might as well eat the whole pizza cause when you order a thin crust all they do is take the dough for a pizza one size down and stretch it to the size you ordered. ie; a small dough stretched into a medium pizza

I use portabello mushrooms for a "crust", but my main dig in pizza is the sauce and cheese combo.

You can use any sauce with no ADDED sugar. Yes, the carb counts will add up quickly so be careful with amount. You can also use olive oil/garlic or an alfredo or even ranch in place of tomato sauce.

I make a yummy pizza bowl that's just the yummy keto toppings, whatever you like, in a bowl nuked, and no crust at all. Pepperoni, olives, chopped bell pepper, mushrooms, drizzle of olive oil, sprinkle of Italian seasoning. Some low carb sauce if you like. Or make a bed of pepperoni or cooked crumbled sausage or hamburger in a casserole dish, and add toppings to that. Bake or nuke till melty

There are varying levels of quality when it comes to processed meat. Clean cold cuts on occasion should not pose a problem for the majority of people. If you prefer to avoid them completely, that's a valid option as well.

I use ground chicken for a good pizza crust. I add parmesan cheese flatten it like a pizza crust, put sauce on top, cheese meats and bake until done. Super good! Family loves it.

Chaffle pizza .....
Or waffle made with cheese and egg then topped with pizza toppings are great low carb pizza options.

But for even lower carb.... Use 0carb whey protein, seasonings, egg, and baking powder...on a waffle maker then top with sauce, cheese and pepperoni and bake for 3 small pizzas with less than 6 carbs in total. (My favorite one)
