When I’m in the mood for a tasty and satisfying dinner, nothing hits the spot quite like portobello mushroom pizza. This savory dish is packed with flavor, thanks to its rich portobello mushroom base and gooey cheese topping (I made mine dairy-free).
Portobello mushrooms are a great choice because they have a firm texture and deep, earthy flavor, while also being low in carbs.

I love portobello pizzas.
I love easy meals. These pizzas reminded me of the mini pizzas my mom used to make for us when we were kids. She would take a hamburger bun or a hot dog bun, slice it in half and we would each put our toppings on it, and then she would put it under the broiler, and voila we would have pizza.
These are just as awesome and simple. The portobello mushroom requires 5 minutes of roasting first then you put your toppings on and roast for the remainder of the time. I went the extra step of sautéing my veggies.
Mushroom Cap Pizza Topping Ideas
What type of toppings should you put on your portobello mushroom cap pizza? You can add any toppings you want. I made these pizzas dairy-free by skipping the cheese. Add all of your favorite pizza toppings like:
- mozzarella cheese
- pepperoni
- peppers
- onions
- mushrooms
- olives
- sausage
Portobello Pizza Ingredients
- a few portobello mushrooms
- sausage
- pizza toppings
- spaghetti sauce or sugar-free pizza sauce
- salt & pepper
How to Make Portobello Pizza
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Remove the stem of each mushroom, bake for 5 mins on a baking sheet with either olive oil (or another fat) brushed on the pan so the mushroom doesn’t stick or parchment paper.
If your sausage is uncooked, remove the casing and cook in a frying pan. I added my veggies so they would get the flavor of the sausage.
When 5 minutes is over, take the baking pan out of the oven and place your pizza toppings on the portobello mushroom and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
How to Store Keto Portobello Mushroom Pizza
If you end up with leftover portobello pizzas you can place them in an airtight container and keep them stored in your refrigerator for up to 5 days or in your freezer for up to 3 months.
Simply reheat the pizzas by placing them on a sheet pan with either parchment paper or drizzling oil on the sheet pan and then reheat in your oven, toaster oven, etc at 375 degrees F. until warm and the cheese is bubbling.

Small portobello pizzas you can eat with your hands but large pizzas require cutting.
