You can also make pizza dough (and a lot of other recipes) using "fat head dough". I like to make mine using coconut flour since that's easier--and cheaper--than using almond flour. The following recipe is from this website:

Coconut Flour Pizza Crust
This coconut flour pizza crust is the best gluten-free pizza crust I’ve ever tried. It’s soft and tasty, and sturdy enough to hold with your hands!

Servings: 2 (8-inch) pizzasCalories: 496kcal
INGREDIENTS
Olive oil spray for pans
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup coconut flour
6 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese (1 oz)
Topping:
1/2 cup marinara sauce
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella (4 oz)
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Line two pizza pans with parchment paper and spray the paper with olive oil. You can also make these pizzas side by side on a single, large baking sheet.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the water, garlic powder, onion powder and dried oregano.
Measure out the coconut flour, breaking up any lumps with your hands. Stir the coconut flour into the egg mixture, mixing until smooth.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese.
Allow the mixture to rest and thicken for a couple of minutes. This will allow the coconut flour to soak up the liquid.
Using a rubber spatula, transfer half of the mixture onto each of the prepared pans. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly into an 8-inch circle.
Bake the pizzas until set and the edges are beginning to brown, about 15 minutes. The crust will still be light at this point, and that’s OK.
Remove the pizzas from the oven and switch the oven to broil. Position the top oven rack 6 inches below flame.
Spread each pizza with half the pizza sauce, sprinkle with half the shredded mozzarella, and add any other toppings you like (I used Applegate’s pepperoni).
Broil each pizza until cheese is melted and crust is golden-brown, 2-3 minutes.

INGREDIENTS
2 cup Blanched almond flour
2 tbsp Coconut oil (measured solid, then melted; can also use butter or ghee*)
2 large Egg
1/2 tsp Sea salt
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix all the ingredients together until a dough forms (you can use a food processor or just mix well manually).
Compact the dough into a ball. Place between two pieces of parchment paper and roll out to 1/4 in (.6 cm) thick.
Remove the top piece of parchment paper. Transfer the crust on the parchment paper to a pizza pan. Poke a few times with a toothpick to prevent bubbling.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden.
To finish making pizza with this crust, top with desired toppings, then return to the oven for 10-15 minutes, until cheese is bubbling and edges are crispy.
Use butter or ghee instead of coconut oil if you are sensitive to the flavor of coconut oil. Refined coconut oil is another option that should be flavorless.
