Manmade Gourmet’s Love It or Chuck It: Cottage Cheese Pizza Bowl
Nov 13, 2026
So there is no such thing as bad pizza…and to test the theory, T and V gave a lower carb pizza option a swing.
Per usual, we tried to stick, as best we could, to the recipe that we found…in this edition of Love it or Chuck it!
Here is what you need:
1 cup cottage cheese
¼ cup pizza sauce
or marinara
½ cup shredded mozzarella
8–10 pepperoni slices
½ tsp Italian seasoning
¼ tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp grated Parmesan
Red pepper flakes, to taste
How to make it:
Preheat oven to 400°F
Spread cottage cheese into a small oven-safe dish
Layer on pizza sauce seasonings, mozzarella, pepperoni, and Parmesan
Bake for 10–15 minutes until hot and bubbly
Broil briefly for a golden cheesy top, let cool slightly, and enjoy
THIS is where the inspiration came from!

Lessons learned / tips:
The cottage cheese was WAY to watery
Maybe other veggies too
