- BY CYDNEY HENDERSON USA TODAY

Sticking to a keto diet at fast-food restaurant­s just got easier.

Blaze Pizza announced it is rolling out a keto crust with 6 grams of net carbohydra­tes, substituti­ng flour with high-fat, low-carb ingredient­s like flaxseed, cheese and eggs.

“As the first national chain to unveil a keto crust, Blaze’s innovation is changing the way that guests think about and eat pizza,” executive chef Bradford Kent said in a statement. ”We’re making pizza an option, even for those on a low-carb diet.”

That’s not the only new crust on its way: Blaze Pizza also is launching a vegetableb­ased cauliflowe­r crust.

Both options are gluten-free and became available Tuesday.

The popular nationwide food chain, which has 14 locations in Chicago and its suburbs, also will introduce a line of “Life Mode” pizzas.

The new collection, which will be available exclusivel­y online and through Blaze Pizza’s mobile app, will consist of:

• Keto Pizza, with keto crust, spicy red sauce, mozzarella, ovalini mozzarella, bacon, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach.

• Protein Pizza, with keto crust, red sauce, mozzarella, Italian meatballs, smoked ham, grilled chicken, black olives, green bell peppers, oregano.

• Vegan Pizza, with original dough, red sauce, vegan cheese, spicy vegan chorizo, mushrooms, red onions, green bell peppers, basil, olive oil drizzle.

• Vegetarian Pizza, with cauliflowe­r crust, red sauce, mozzarella, ricotta, artichokes, kalamata olives, red onions, spinach.
