Notes

  • The net carb count per calzone is approximately 8.5 grams, including the pizza sauce.
  • If you don’t have the specified keto pizza sauce, create a quick sauce by mixing thick tomato passata, garlic (minced or powder), and dried Italian herbs.
  • An alternative sauce option is to use one tablespoon of double concentrated tomato puree per calzone.
