This paleo pizza recipe is so delicious, you won’t even care that there’s no cheese! I love that there are also autoimmune paleo and low-fodmap options for this recipe. You can switch up the toppings to include whatever you like—sundried tomatoes, mushrooms, olives, etc.
I was so pleased to receive a copy of my friend Caitlin Week’s book Mediterranean Paleo Cooking. She’s been working so hard on this book for the past year and I’m so happy to see the final result– an amazingly beautiful, comprehensive, creative cookbook with over 150 Mediterranean style recipes that have been paleo-ified! Caitlin’s husband Nabil is from Algeria, so he grew up with Mediterranean cooking. Nabil is also an amazing chef, so his expertise is a big part of this book as well.
One of my favorite things about Mediterranean Paleo Cooking is that is has something for EVERYONE! Caitlin Weeks and Diane Sanfilippo have done an incredible job of testing substitutions for almost every recipe for those with special diets. Most of the recipes contain tested substitutions for:
- low-FODMAP
- Autoimmune Paleo
- GAPS
- Egg-free
- Nut-free
- Low-carb
So if you’re on a special diet or have allergies, you will love this book! I myself, am on Autoimmune paleo, so I couldn’t wait to try out the AIP paleo pizza recipe. This paleo pizza recipe is also low-FODMAP!
Paleo Pizza Recipe:
This paleo pizza recipe is so delicious, you won't even care that there's no cheese! I love that there are also autoimmune paleo and low-fodmap options for this recipe. You can switch up the toppings to include whatever you like---sundried tomatoes, mushrooms, olives, etc.
- 3/4 cup purified water boiling
- 2 tbsp grass-fed gelatin
- 1 1/2 cups tapioca flour
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup sustainable palm shortening room temperature (sub coconut oil)
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 4 large beets peeled and shredded
- 4 medium carrots peeled and shredded
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 tsp garlic minced (for low-FODMAP use 1/4 cup chopped scallions)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup fresh basil chopped, for garnish
- grass-fed ground beef sauteed
- asparagus chopped
- leafy greens
- herbs
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the hot water and gelatin in a small, heatproof bowl. Stir until the gelatin is dissolved. Set aside.
- In another bowl, mix together the tapioca, coconut flour, salt, and baking soda.
- Add the fat to the flour mixture and mix well. Add the vinegar and gelatin water to the flour mixture and stir to combine.
- Set the dough on the lined baking sheet and press it into a circle that's about 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick.
- Bake the crust for 15 minutes and remove from the oven. Add toppings of choice and bake for 15 more minutes, until golden brown.
- Place all ingredients except the basil in a large saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture. If the sauce seems too thin, simmer for 5-10 more minutes, uncovered. Adjust the seasonings to taste.

October 22, 2014 at 6:17 amHi! On GAPs but going to start introducing tapioca flour so super excited about this recipe!! I miss pizza so much. I’m also really excited about his giveaway because my mom is currently struggling with an illness and would like so much to be able to make me food, but I don’t really have any recipes, I just make stuff up as I go along. So this would give her the opportunity to cook me a meal that I know will be both ok for me to have and absolutely delicious!!!! ❤️

Tara Pantera says
October 22, 2014 at 7:22 amI really want to try AIP as I have a herniated disc in my back that has been plaguing me for over 2 years now…I notice that it’s a bit less painful when I’m eating Whole 30-strict Paleo. I don’t have enough AIP recipes in my arsenal to go solid AIP, so I’d looooove to have this book! …not sure if people even read these when a comment is required for a contest, but there you have it anyway, lol.

October 24, 2014 at 7:42 amI have a question about the recipe. I can’t eat carrots right now, so I’m wondering if you know what a good AIP substitute would be, or if you think the sauce would be fine without the carrots? Thank you.
Healy Eats Real says
October 24, 2014 at 10:41 amMaybe try another root vegetable, like parsnips?
Carey says
October 24, 2014 at 9:05 amI am 33 and have over 130lbs to lose, achy joints, back pain, foot pain, and trouble conceiving. I have started eating paleo in the past week and I already feel better! My joints don’t hurt like they did, I have increased energy and I have lost 5lbs in this first week. But I know I need to find a way to make this sustainable (I have lost and gained over 60 lbs before on strict calorie counting diets that I just couldn’t keep up). I also want to help my husband be healthier and avoid some of the heart disease, arthritis and other health problems that run in his family. So, I would love to have this new cookbook to help me find even more delicious ways to continue eating PALEO FOR LIFE! THANKS!
Ellen says
October 24, 2014 at 9:26 amI would love to win this book so I can explore some Algerian, Moroccan, Italian, and Greek recipes – the kind I have never tried before – in a Paleo template! It looks fabulous.
Kimberly says
October 25, 2014 at 4:59 pmWow, Paleo cookbooks just keep evolving, don’t they? LOVE that AIP adjustments are built in, that is so helpful! I’d love to add a copy of this to our mealtime resources

October 26, 2014 at 7:13 amI am Spanish and lived in England most f my life, I grew up eating this kind of cooking and I really miss it now that I live in the states and Now my husband is suffering from adrenal fatigue I would really love to find ways to make these meals a little friendlier for him. I would love to know how to make Mediterranean Paleo meals. 🙂
Jessica says

Patrik says
February 9, 2015 at 11:52 amHi!
I realise this is an old post, and you probably even wont read my comment but I am sorry to have to point out that that recipe is not Low Fodmap..
// Patrik
Hannah of Healy Eats Real says
February 10, 2015 at 5:08 pmThere is a low-fodmap substitution for the garlic. What about it is not low-fodmap?
Jessica says
July 24, 2016 at 11:58 pmBeets and coconut flour are not low FODMAP. :/
Nancy says
January 20, 2017 at 10:09 pmThat is the first thing that occurred to me when I saw this.
Andrea says
September 26, 2016 at 2:08 pmJust FYI, coconut flour is actually very high fodmap according to Monash. It bloats me up like a ballon. Thanks so much and I’m sure it will help someone!
