Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, almond flour, whey protein isolate, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg and water until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until a dough forms.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to about 1/8-inch thick with a rolling pin.
Remove the top layer of parchment paper and use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the dough into 1 1/2-inch squares or desired shape.
Transfer the parchment paper with the cut dough onto the baking sheet. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the crisps are golden brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the crisps to cool on the sheet. They will crisp up more as they cool.
Once cooled, the pizza crisps are ready to enjoy. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
