Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1.5 cups of almond flour, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir to combine, and microwave for an additional 30 seconds until the cheese is melted.
Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of baking powder to the cheese and almond flour mixture. Mix thoroughly until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper and place another piece on top. Roll out the dough between the papers to a 12-inch circle.
Place the rolled-out dough onto the prepared baking sheet and brush with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Poke a few holes in the dough with a fork to prevent air bubbles.
Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes or until it's golden brown.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread 0.5 cup of tomato sauce over it, leaving a small border around the edge.
Sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce.
Top the cheese with 4 ounces of spicy Italian salami slices and 1 sliced medium jalapeno.
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of oregano, 0.5 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper evenly over the pizza.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with 0.25 cup of fresh basil before slicing and serving.
