Chicago's Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria 

Deep Dish Pizza Time!

The deep dish butter crust pizza served at Lou Malnati's, a classic Chicago-style pizzeria, is typically referred to as a "pie". A deep-dish pizza pan is seasoned, and a thin crust of pizza dough is placed inside and raised up on the sides. On a Chicago-style deep-dish pizza, the toppings are added in the reverse order of how they are on thin-crust pizzas, with sausage lining the bottom layer rather than pizza sauce. The dough is topped with thick slices of mozzarella cheese as the initial component. Then the cheese is covered with other items like mushrooms, pepperoni, and onions. A tomato sauce made with whole tomato chunks is spread on top of the pizza. A single Italian sausage patty called a "sausage patty" is used in "Lou-Mal" pies.

Cauliflower Pizza Crust (Low Carb Keto Pizza)

Prep:

15minutes mins

Cook:

25minutes mins

Total:

40minutes mins

Servings: 4 serving

Ingredients

Cauliflower Pizza Crust

▢1.5 pounds cauliflower, florets

▢1/2 cup shredded cheese, or 1/3 cup soft cheese

▢1 egg, beaten

▢1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

▢salt and pepper, to taste

Pesto Chicken Pizza

▢1/3 cup pesto sauce

▢1/2 cup shredded chicken

▢3/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

▢2 cups (packed) baby spinach

▢2 garlic cloves, minced

Margherita Pizza

▢1/3 cup marinara sauce

▢4 oz mozzarella ball, sliced

▢fresh basil leaves

▢red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the cauliflower florets from the stem or use frozen and thawed cauliflower florets. Grate them using a food processor or box grater.

Add the cauliflower rice to a microwave safe bowl, cover, and microwave for 4-5 minutes to soften. Alternatively, you could saute the cauliflower rice in a pan on medium heat on the stove for 8-10 minutes. Then let it cool to the touch.

Transfer the cauliflower rice into a nut milk bag or thin kitchen towel. Drain the cauliflower by squeezing it until all the excess moisture is out. Squeeze as hard as you can!

Place the drained cauliflower rice in a large mixing bowl. Add the cheese, egg and seasonings. Use your hands to mix everything together to form the pizza dough.

On a parchment lined baking sheet, press the dough dough down into an even circle. The diameter should be around 9 inches. If you have a pizza stone, that's even better and will produce a crispier crust.

Bake for 25 minutes, or until slightly golden, then remove from oven. You could also bake for 20 minutes and flip the crust over, then bake an additional 5-10 minutes for an even crispier crust.

Add the toppings and bake for an additional 10 minutes.

Decided to list out some of my favorite safe foods!!

Here are some of my fave grocery staples.

Low Cal Protein

Chicken breasts, marinated and grilled or baked.

Grilled is best, but baked is okay too. (Just don't bread it, obviously!)

Depending on size, most breast cutlets range from 110 to 200 calories. (I prefer small ones.) Depending on size,

Season your chicken!! You can make all kinds of marinades in various flavor profiles that won't add significant calories. Safe doesn't have to mean bland!!

I use like 50-70 cals' worth at a time, so not a whole one usually.

Canned or Vacuum Pouch Tuna

With the pouches, plain light chunk tuna is 70, the flavored ones are mostly 80 or 90.

Also a great source of fats and omega 3 fatty acids!

Boiled shrimp

Another good low cal option.

Boiled eggs

I generally only eat the whites, but the yolks are a good source of dietary fats.

Chickpeas, Black Beans, Black Eyed Peas

I used them as a salad garnish in small amounts.

Morning Star Spicy Southwest Bean Burgers

Idk what level of white people shit it is to label these "spicy," lmao!! 110 per patty, I use half at a time.

Vegetables, Fiber, and Fillers

Salad Greens (lettuce, kale, spinach, etc.)

I eat a lot of salads, tried and true staple!! Add protein, low cal dressing or balsamic vinegar, etc.

Shiritaki Noodles

Absolute game changer. I prefer the angel hair variety.

Cauliflower Rice

Another great substitute for carb-laden filler.

Canned vegetables (spinach, cabbage, collards, green beans, etc.)

Healthy, low cal, easy, and they keep well.

Frozen mixed vegetables

Same as above, pretty much.

Crudités (particularly broccoli and celery)

Filling, low calorie, high fiber.

Pickles

Other than sweet gherkins (they make sugarfree ones now though!), very low cal. I like pickled okra and pickled asparagus too.

Fats (few and sparing!)

Olives

I really love olives. Black are my favorite as a salad topping, but I like green and kalamata too. They range from 5 to 10 calories apiece depending on size and type.

Nuts (cashew, Brazil, macadamia, and hazelnuts)

One hand countable number only, very very dense.

Carbs

Rice cakes

Tried and true staple for a reason!!

Veggie Straws

Small amounts, take caution.

Crackers

CAVEAT: Hinges at your ability to stop at like 3-5!!

I like oyster crackers and mini Club crackers because they're nice and tiny.

Sauces and Condiments

Skinny Girl dressing (10 cals)

Olive Garden lite Italian dressing (30)

Keto thousand Island (0)

Light thousand Island (35)

Soy sauce (5)

Teriyaki sauce (15)

Sriracha (5)

Cholula (5)

Balsamic vinegar (0)

Mustard (5-10)

Splenda (0)

Stevia (0)

Sugarfree nondairy coffee creamer (10-15)

Unsweetened almond milk (30 per cup, more if flavored)

Beverages

Lemon water (0)

Crystal lite (5-10)

Diet soda (0)

Diet cranberry or grape juice (5-15)

Monster Ultra Zero (10)

Monster Rehab (25)

Sugarfree Red Bull (10-30)

Alcohol

I keep this sparing and infrequent, but here are my top picks.

White Claw: 100

Truly Lemonade Seltzers: 200 per tallboy

Dry rosé: 70-110/5oz

Dry white sparkling wine e.g. André: 90/5oz

Vodka and soda water: 100

Gin and diet tonic water: 120

food inspo via some of my own photos

below break ⊹.✮₊⋆

w/ estimated calories

sashimi

for 1oz of bluefin tuna it’s 40c, 6.5p

for 1oz of salmon it’s 50c, 5.5p

depending on which you get, it can be lower as well!

chickfila

whenever i have to get fast food i always get one of two things at chickfila and it’ll be either..

a spicy southwest salad w/ spicy grilled fillet; remove the cheese, seasoned tortilla strips, and chili lime pepitas along with exchanging the dressing for the lite italian

215c, 24p

or a grilled chicken sandwich wrapped in lettuce (only w tomato)

120c, 21p

yogurt + fruit

honestly, any yogurt and fruit combination is something that’ll be low calorie and fill you up!

photo #1 would be around 250c~~?

(60 for the yogurt, 81 for the chocolate, estimating around 65 for the grapes and maybe 40 for blueberries?)

photo #2 would be around 250c~~ as well?

(150 for the yogurt, and roughly 75-100 for watermelon?)

of course, depending on what brand you use and how much of each item you add, the total will change. but overall, everything is relatively low calorie and you can switch it all around!

sandwiches

now for me, i always though of a sandwich as a high calorie item and feared them. but now, because i found the right ingredients, its one of my safe foods!

i use better goods brand keto bread which is 35c, 4p and 10g… of fiber 😭

but it’s a super good alternative to other options!

the sandwich in the photo is around 150c!

(70 for the bread, 50 for 2oz turkey breast, give or take 5-10 for the tomato and lettuce, 25 for a laughing low lite cheese) + sriracha

there’s tons of protein in this meal and it fills you up for soooo long! again, the calories really matter on what you choose to make it with, but it can be a lower option.

pairing it with a fruit of course raises the total calories, but also makes it more like a meal :)

“burrito bowl”

i say this in quotes because it isn’t exactly a burrito bowl LMAO

in the photo i used cauliflower rice, lettuce, fat free mozzarella, rotisserie chicken, black beans, pico de gallo, and sriracha

my estimate was right around 250c for the entire bowl and it was honestly pretty good! i’m pretty sure i logged it wrong though, so i’m not gonna give an entire breakdown for it 🤕!

stir fries

another amazing low calorie option is a stir fry, you just have to watch what you put in the sauce.

both options were under 300c, photo #1 less than the other.

in photo #1, i stir fried mushroom, bell pepper, broccoli, and carrots. i probably just made a sauce with lower sodium soy sauce, chicken stock, garlic, and a very small amount of cornstarch for thickening.

in photo #2, i stir fried mushrooms, carrots and radish in a low sodium soy sauce. on the side i had around 2oz of chicken breast lunch meat and had a small fruit bowl! its a really balanced meal and honestly kept me full for hours!

now, these are all just ideas but we do have to fuel ourselves sometimes, and making these meals in front of others could reduce concerns for you. the community has to help eachother 🤞🏻

thank you for reading all the way up to here if you got to this point :)

Flip the food over halfway through cooking for 6 to 8 minutes, or until it is golden and crispy. Warm it up and serve it with ranch dressing or marinara sauce.

If you want, you can serve the Italian beef hot with chopped fresh parsley and pepperoncini peppers that have been sliced.
