3. Quest Thin Crust Pizza
The Quest pizzas are defiantly a convenient keto pizza options. If you make it according to the directions on the box it will be cooked perfectly with a crispy crust. The ingredients look pretty healthy despite a few if-y ingredients like sugar that is in the pepperoni, which implies there isn’t enough sugar to make that drastic of a difference, but the other con is the crust had a bit of a soft cracker texture to it. Not bad, but not the best either. Based on that and the lower quality of ingredients we are ranking Quest in third place for the best Keto frozen pizza.

The only concern I’ve seen people have with the Real Good Foods Chicken Crust Pizzas is getting the crust cooked perfectly so we did some testing and here are the best ways to cook keto frozen pizzas
Our favorite way is on the grill. It’s seriously amazing, gives the pizzas this extra flavor, creates the perfect crisp on the crust and lightly browns the top too.
1. TO GRILL YOUR PIZZAS: From frozen, remove the cardboard and plastic wrapping, then place Real Good Pizzas directly on the grill for about 6-8 minutes on medium heat.
My second favorite is cooking the frozen pizzas in the air fryer. The air fryer gives the pizzas perfectly browned cheese and toppings.
2. TO AIR FRY YOUR PIZZAS: Remove the cardboard and plastic, set the air fryer to 350 degrees and cook for about 12 minutes or until pizza cheese is golden brown.
The last option is to bake your Real Good Pizzas.
3. TO BAKE YOUR PIZZAS: Preheat oven to 425 degrees and bake for 10-12 minutes. When I baked my frozen pizza, I then threw it in a frying pan for a few minutes to get the crust a little crispier.
Where to buy Real Good Foods Frozen Pizzas?
We have been able to find the chicken crust personal size frozen pizzas at Food Lion, CVS, Walmart, Harris Teeter, and Kroger, which you can use the store locator on their website to find out where to find them in your local area.

Final Thoughts on keto-friendly frozen pizzas
Cauliflower frozen pizzas can be a healthy convenient dinner option to keep stocked in the freezer, as long as you read the ingredients label and base your selection off the quality of the ingredients rather than looking for the lowest calories frozen pizza that fits your keto macros. BUT in my opinion the pizza crusts made with chicken are better tasting and have better ingredients.
