Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C). Line two large baking sheets or pizza stones with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir. Continue microwaving in 15-second increments until the cheese mixture is fully melted and smooth.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and Italian seasoning (if using).
Add the melted cheese mixture, eggs, and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir with a sturdy spoon or mix by hand until a dough forms. Knead gently until smooth and uniform.
Divide the dough into two equal portions. Place one portion of dough on a sheet of parchment paper. Cover with another piece of parchment paper and roll out into a 14-inch circle or desired thickness. Repeat with the second portion of dough.
Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough (with the parchment paper underneath) to the prepared baking sheets or pizza stones.
Use a fork to poke a few holes across the surface of each crust to prevent bubbling during baking.
Bake the crusts in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden.
Remove from the oven, add your favorite low-carb pizza sauce, toppings, and cheese, and return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow the pizzas to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your healthier take on pizza night!
