Happy National Pizza Day! Try the NEW Pieology Protein Style Pizza Crust - Keto-friendly!

Pizza, Pizza!  Who doesn't love Pizza! In celebration of National Pizza Day (observed February 9th), my recommendation is to try the NEW Pieology Protein-Style Chicken Base Pizza Crust.  If you are trying to watch your carbohydrates and make healthier choices you will LOVE this Protein Style Pizza!  This pizza stands at only 280 calories in total! The new Keto-certified pizza base is made of all-natural white meat chicken, is packed with 44 grams of protein and ONLY contains 2 grams of carbs! 

I have been on a Keto-eating lifestyle for over a year now and while I am grateful for the many companies who have tried to make Keto-friendly items easily available.  Oftentimes the cauliflower crusts or "healthier" options are not always as healthy as we need them to be.  Too often there are still added flours and sugars which make items not as healthy as we need them to be.  

I loved the Cauliflower crust here at Pieology and again I am at least grateful that we have some options to still enjoy a pizza that has less carbs than the average pizza but it still came in at 64 carbs for the cauliflower crust. 

I was extremely happy when I heard about this new protein-style chicken base pizza crust.  We reached out to our local Roseville Pieology (2030 Douglas Blvd., #30, Roseville, CA) and asked if they would have us in to answer some of our questions.  Tim Snook and staff kindly welcomed us and provided great service.  This is not our first time at Pieology Roseville, it's actually a family favorite.  We have always had a great experience at the Roseville Pieology.  

You can create your custom Protein-Style Pizza or choose the Keto Lovers Pizza which has the House Red Sauce, Shredded Mozzarella, Chicken, Sausage, Canadian Bacon, Pepperoni and Oregano.
OR
The High Low Pizza which has the Protein-Style crust, House Red Sauce, Shredded Mozzarella, Red Onion, Roasted Red Peppers, Green Peppers, Pepperoni, Canadian Bacon and Oregano.

Here are some questions we had for manager Tim Snook.
What differentiates Pieology from other Pizza Restaurants?  
Tim: I would say the creativity aspect.  People love that they don't have to just settle for a classic combination or pepperoni pizza.  A family can have each member create their very own personal pizza.  The possibilities are endless, the creativity aspect keeps people coming back.

Tell us about the new protein-style crust?
Tim: We started the Cauliflower Crust about a year ago and it made us more aware of how many people are aiming to eat low-carb, and the Keto-eating lifestyle.  While the cauliflower crust is not a complete Keto crust, it was a popular choice for those trying to eat lower carbs.  
We made the chicken crust because we wanted to to be accommodating for our guests.  If they can't have carbs they can replace it with the protein crust, if they can't have gluten we have a gluten free pizza, if you want to be more health conscience we have the cauliflower crust option.  We really are trying to be mindful of people and certain restrictions they may have.  We are trying to aim to serve our customers, if you come in we want to work with you and serve you a great pizza no matter the dietary restriction.  

How is the initial reception been?  
Tim: It has been better than I thought it would be.  I was concerned about the size of the crust and how customers would feel about it.  Do not be deceived by the size of the crust!  I thought people might have an issue when they saw that it is smaller in size.  A lot of people who are coming in and saying it's great, it fits their dietary restrictions, and it is surprisingly filling since it is packed with protein.  It is a unique thing to have.

What are some things that people may overlook when they come in to create their own pizza?
Tim: In my opinion people overlook flavor profile.  Many people come in with the Mongolian Barbecue mindset, where you just pile everything on.  They end up mixing, sweet, spicy, savory, and when you mix too many flavors you don't get the best tasting pizza.  
I try to help our guests pair the best flavors, that is a great tip, ask for help when you come in.  We are happy to provide some recommendations.  Flavor profiles, are  the biggest thing, when you come in ,have in mind what you flavor you are going for.  Do you want a traditional pizza, are you looking for spicy or sweet?  Do you want something light?

Other than pizza what does Pieology offer?
Tim: Salads!  Not only can you personalize your pizza, you can create and personalize your own salad as well. Salads are great if you are out for a quick lunch or again trying to be a little more health conscience.  We have a great selection of fresh vegetables.  We have walnuts!  Walnuts are a perfect addition to a custom made salad.  We also offer Cheese-breads, cookies, desserts, and we are working on a potential new menu that could be added soon so follow us on social media to stay up to date.

Tim has been working for Pieology for 4-5 years and you can see he is a hard worker and has a great heart for customer service. We are grateful he took the time to answer our questions on a busy Friday night.  The entire staff was friendly, we have always received great, fast service and enjoyed one of our favorites....Pizza!  As a Keto eater this is going to definitely be one of our go to places especially with the NEW Protein-Style Pizza!
