Pieology's new Protein Style Chicken Base is a first-of-its-kind pizza base that is made from meat and other animal-based proteins. Instead of dough, the pizza base is made from a combination of all-natural white-meat chicken, cheese, and eggs. The result is a "crust" that packs 44 grams of protein, just two grams of carbs, and is completely gluten-free. The protein-rich base is thanks to a partnership with [Foster Farms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foster-farms-high-protein-bites) and it offers a revolutionary new way to enjoy pizza. Though the new base is geared towards keto dieters, Protein Style Chicken Base can be a neutral base for all kinds of pizza toppins—even those that aren't keto-friendly.
