I came across this cauliflower crust pizza on Pinterest, and was instantly intrigued. A low-carb pizza? Sign me up! I was skeptical, of course, but curious enough to try it and see how it tasted. I was pleasantly surprised by the results. Now obviously, it is not quite the same as a traditional piece of pizza with soft, chewy crust, but it’s a great substitute when you’re watching your carb intake. Since the cauliflower is mixed with cheese, you mostly taste the cheese instead of the cauliflower, as well as the yummy veggies and meats on top of your pizza.
My husband isn’t a huge fan of cauliflower, so I planned on making the pizza before he got home from work. I figured I would just tell him I was trying a new pizza crust recipe. Well, what do you know, he got home early and caught me mixing up the crust. When he asked what was in the crust, I simply told him “cheese.” Well…the man is obsessed with cheese, so he was immediately smitten with the idea. It wasn’t until after he gobbled down 3/4ths of the pizza that I told him it was made of cauliflower. Even then, he didn’t seem to mind.
So the general conclusion…Healthy, tasty and husband-approved? Winner, winner, chicken pizza dinner!
Cauliflower Crust Pizza
Yields: 1 serving*
Ingredients:
1 cup cooked, riced cauliflower
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese*
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp crushed garlic
1/2 tsp garlic salt
Olive oil (optional)
Pizza sauce
Mozzarella cheese, shredded
Other additional toppings of your choice
*Many people have commented and said that the amount of cheese can be reduced by half, and still taste just as good!
Directions:
To rice your cauliflower, take 1 large head of cauliflower, remove the stems and leaves, and chop the florets into chunks. Add to a food processor and pulse just until it looks like rice. Alternatively, you can grate the cauliflower with a cheese grater.
Place the riced cauliflower in a microwave safe bowl, add 1/4 cup water, and microwave for 6-8 minutes, stirring half-way through.
To make the pizza, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a pizza pan or cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the cauliflower, mozzarella cheese and egg together and stir until well incorporated. Add the oregano, garlic, and garlic salt. Transfer to the cookie sheet, and shape into a 9-inch circle. Brush the crust with olive oil to help it brown in the oven.
Baked at 450 degrees F for 15 minutes, until the crust is browned and cooked through the middle.
Remove the crust from the oven, add your sauce and toppings. Place under a broiler at high heat until the cheese is melted and bubbly. (About 3-4 minutes).
Allow the pizza to cool slightly, then cut into slices and serve.
*The original recipe makes 1-9 inch pizza. You can of course, double the recipe, but I recommend sticking to individual sized pizzas. A lot of people have said that the middle doesn’t cook well when you make a large pizza.

Must you use cheese in the crust? Will it work with just the cauliflower and eggs?
The cheese almost hides the taste of the cauliflower, and helps it bind together, but it might just work with cauliflower and eggs! If you try it, let me know how it works.
I use egg and cheese
I’m pretty sure the cheese is what holds it together.
http://fastpaleo.com/cauli-egg-wraps-or-pizza-crust/ This recipe is good and does not use cheese.

Yum, I’m so excited to make this! Do you have to steam the Cauliflower first? Some recipes dont require it.
You don’t exactly steam it, but you do cook the riced cauliflower in the microwave for about 6-8 minutes with a little bit of water to soften it up.
Any idea of the carb count on this?
I just ran the nutrition facts, and for 1 pizza crust (which serves 1-2 people), and it clocks in at 375 calories, 21 grams of fat, 5 carbs, and 40 grams of protein. Most of the fat and calories comes from cheese in the crust, so if you’re looking to cut down on calories, you may be able to scale the cheese back a bit. Hope that helps!
I just showed my husband the pic of your pizza… and he was so happy about all the “gooey” cheese… I know he woldn’t let me scale back.
I took the cheese down to a bit over 1/4 cup. Then I used about 1/4 cup to sprinkle on top. That cuts down on the calories quite a bit. The pizza didn’t exactly have a “crust” but you could pick up small pieces (we cut it into 8 squares) and eat it. It was very good!
Great idea
It always amazes me when I hear all the different things we can do with vegetables!! I might have to try this! Thanks for sharing!!

I like the site, really nice.
Really good lookin stuff here. love it.
Thank you for this amazing recipe. Now I have a weekend project for me and my kids for lunch time.
Enjoy!
Oh my word, that is so creative! I’m in love with pinterest, find so many great ideas, but this one! Wow! I’m bookmarking this!
I think the coolest thing about this recipe is that it is gluten-free! For those with a gluten allergy pizza is a big no-no. Can’t wait to try this for a friend of mine!
Hope you enjoy it!
I didn’t even think about it being gluten free, what a great thought. I have a friend who is gluten intolerant, I will mention this to her and hopefully she gives it a try.
Wow, sounds D-licious! I wouldn’t mind the cauliflower flavor at all!
As a person who had to stop eatting pizza over the crust [dough/bread makes me ill =(] i cant thank you enough i need to try this!
I hope you enjoy it! Not being able to eat pizza is NOT fun!

So great to have a low-carb pizza I could enjoy! It looks cheesy and crunchy great! Thanks!
Little white lies are the best
I’m glad to hear a rave about this pizza. Now I’m intrigued…. 
This looks amazing! I am going to have to try this out!
Is it possible to substitute the egg with something else?
I’m not sure…the egg works as a binder, and holds everything together. Perhaps a little olive oil? Sorry, I don’t have a great answer for you…if you find something that works, please let me know!
I just did some “googling” for something to use instead of egg for binding in recipes, check this page (http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=7678.0) out… scroll down to specfically the soy/starch area. It seems you can use many diff ingredients to act as a binding agent rather than egg.
I haven’t tried it in this recipe, but I would think you could use a flax “egg” substitute – It is made from 1T flax meal + 3T water! Here’s a tutorial that should get good results (not my site, but really explains the details / pitfalls well): http://bonzaiaphrodite.com/2011/10/how-to-make-a-flax-egg-for-vegan-baking-the-right-way/
I actually tried this the other day and it tasted great, but I cooked the pizza on parchment paper and it didn’t allow the crust to get crispy on the bottom like a thin crust pizza would normally do. I would suggest cooking on a pizza / cookie pan and put some oil down and cook the crust for about 10 minutes and then put your toppings on. I will try that next time I make with the flax subsitute.
Tried and tasted fab i reduced the cheese amount as i did wanna cut down the calories and it still worked out i need to thin it out though but even when made thicker then it should have mean (my mistake) it still was yummie =] thanks again
Great to know that it works with less cheese! I didn’t realize the calorie count on it until I calculated it out. Next time I will try making it with less cheese to save some calories. Thanks!!

Considering my son just asked me today for cauliflower, because he’s now addicted to vege tales, I am going to try this on him. Pizza and cauliflower….sounds good to me. Thanks for sharing.
Would only egg whites works in this or does it need the whole egg?
It might. The egg acts as a binder and holds the crust together, so I think it would be ok without the yolk. If you try it, let me know!
There was another post up top about binding and substitutes, check this page out it might help you with alternatives to eggs in general. http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=7678.0

I just found this recipe from Stumpleupon. Looks great and I cannot wait to try it. We are not low carb eaters but we do like to eat lots of veggies and we do like cauliflower. When I find a recipe that is fairly different than what we are used to, I like to name it something else. Meaning I won’t tell my husband this is pizza as that sets up a taste expectation. Not sure what to rename this though! Thanks for a creative recipe.
I do the same thing with my husband. I just told him the crust was made from cheese…and he was all over that idea! It wasn’t until AFTER he ate it that I told him there was cauliflower in it.

I’ll start by saying that making this crust was time consuming! On the positive side (so you’ll ignore my whining), there’s enough steamed cauliflower for at least 2 more pizza crusts. The one thing I learned is that I need to “wring out” any moisture in the cauliflower after steaming and before mixing with the cheese, etc. There was too much moisture to get a really crisp crust. BUT the taste was great and this pizza overall was very satisfying. I really didn’t notice a cauliflower taste at all. I think loading it up with veggies (mushrooms, etc) really helped put it over the top. I will definitely make this again! I’m thinking of making the extra crusts with the leftover cauli today and freezing it (without the toppings) for future use. That would make this pizza oven ready in no time!
Thanks for your feedback! It does take a little bit to rice the cauliflower, but after that I didn’t think it took to long to make. I didn’t have any problems with my caulifower being to wet, but that probably just had to do with how fresh the caulifower was. (Mine sat in the fridge for about a week before I made the pizzas.) Thanks again for letting me know how you liked it, and if you freeze some, let me know how they taste from the freezer.

Doesn’t this sound yummy!!! I plan on trying it by weeks end!
How would I go about cooking the cauliflour if I don’t have a microwave?
I’ve never tried it, but I’ve read that you can steam the cauliflower florets on the stove, and then you can mash the cauliflower. It will be more of a puree, but it should still work ok.
on girls night in we’re making this! thanks!

Cauliflower Crust Pizza. IT’S A WINNER. And.. cauliflower pancakes.. using one 1 egg to 1 c. of caulifower.. add a little onion.. use your imagination. Parmesean works as a binder.. watch they do not burn. :}

this is in no way a healthier pizza than a regular pizza. for the whole pizza this would come out to about 815 calories with loads of sodium and saturated fat and very high in cholesterol. for a healthier pizza try a whole wheat thin crust, blend veggies into the sauce, sprinkle low fat cheese and load on the veggies.
Not trying to start an argument, but for diabetics and gluten/celiac intolerants, this is a MUCH healthier version. And think about it, its HOMEMADE, so for me, I would leave the sauce off anyway (Im allergic to the sauce) most likely put on a bit of alfredo sauce for the woman I home health for, her brother just a regular sauce with some veggies on it, and pile it high with meat and cheese for her husband, because he is about 95% healthy (no major problems).
And also, who is going to eat a WHOLE pizza?? (yes, I know, many can, but be honest with ourselves here), if you worry about your health, and are watching carbs and calories, this is actually MUCH healthier than even a whole wheat thin crust, which has 40 carbs PER SLICE……this has 5 carbs per slice…….yep, works for me.
This is an individual sized pizza so most likely people will be eating a few slices. it’s not like it’s an extra large at dominoes. secondly there are much healthier crusts for people with gluten/wheat allergies. thirdly, this is most definitely not a healthier alternative for diabetics. And finally, people worry too much about carbs and not enough about their sodium, bad fats, and what good calories are and what bad calories are. Homemade doesn’t mean healthier. This looks great. But it’s not healthier. It’s most definitely a splurge for a cheat day.
How can this not be healthier for a diabetic? Even wheat crust can pack on the carbs but not this crust. Depending on what you pile on it may make it not so healthy so stick with vegetables.
do you know how to make this without pizza sauce? can i just use cheese?
Yeah it should work!
Can I just top it with cheese and no pizza sauce?
I’m all for it..except the microwave part..do you think steaming the cauliflower would be equilivalent? hope so
Anyone have an alternative to microwaving? I don’t have a microwave but I really want to try this recipe out!
I have read that you can steam cauliflower as you normally would on the stove, then mash it up. The crust will be a bit more soft, but it still should work. Let me know if you try it!

This looks delicious! I am going to take the advice of many and cut the cheese down to reduce some calories. I would use a lower fat cheese, and for the toppings, you could just use some homemade garlic oil and sliced tomato with some dried (or fresh) herbs!
So, I am not a califlower eater, but I am a pizza person. The thing is this, I didn’t have any pizza sauce or mozzarela cheese. I used enchilada sauce and jack cheese. It taste like cheese enchiladas. It was very tastey. Iwill be trying it again soon different ways. Thanks!

Can you help me with two things?
1. When you say 1 cup cooked, riced cauliflower, do you mean measured before you cook, or after you cook? I’m not sure if cauliflower is a bit smaller after you cook it in the microwave?
2. If we cook the cauliflower crusts in the afternoon, so it can easily be put together in evening for dinner, how would you suggest storing it? On counter wrapped in plastic or big ziploc bag? Or in fridge?
Thanks! I’m SO excited to try this tomorrow!
Measure the cauliflower before you cook it. I would probably keep the crust in the fridge, then top with your toppings and bake. Hope you enjoy it!
I just made this for dinner this evening and all I can say is OMGosh!!! This is thee most fabulous pizza crust! I did change it up a bit based on what i had in my own cupboards and was delighted with the outcomes, especially since my husband and two boys who rarely eat veggies without complaining went NUTS over it!! Everyone said it was the best pizza crust ever!! The changes I made were in the seasonings and oil. Instead of just regular olive oil on the pan and ontop of the crust, I used basting oil (it’s the Wegman’s brand if you have that store in your area) which was seasoned with garlic and oregano. I also added in a pizza seasoning mix to the cauliflower crust and it gave it such an awesome flavor!!!. Wonderful! This will probably become our weekly Friday pizza recipe!
So glad you liked it! Love the idea of using pizza seasoning and basting oil. We do have a Wegman’s so I’ll have to check it out!
Oh! One other thing…I just used leftover cauliflower from dinner last night. My blender broke and I don’t have a food processor so I just mashed the cauliflower with a fork and it still turned out great!

I don’t know what I did wrong. The taste was great though and we were fine eating it with forks!
Maybe next try squeezing the caulflower out and “dry” it a little bit. If it’s too wet it won’t brown nicely. Glad you enjoyed it anyways!

I love this recipe. I can’t eat wheat or flour of any kind. It had been over four years since I had pizza. My tastebuds are very happy!I separate the cauliflower into florets and steam for 7 minutes on top of the stove in a covered pan with one of those metal folding steamer baskets. When cool enough to handle, I grate the cauliflower just like you would grate the cheese. I use the lower amount of cheese and it turns out great. I also add a little basil and use fresh garlic. For toppings I like sauteed diced onions and sweet peppers, more garlic, and sliced olives. Yum.
I’m going to try it with enchilada sauce and jack cheese, that sounds good, too.
Sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing!
This was delicious! I actually only used 1/4 cup reduced fat mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup fat free parmesan cheese in the crust . That took down the calories ALOT! I also used 3 tablespoons of egg whites instead of the egg. On top, I used low cal sauce, FF Parmesan, and LF mozzerella. This pizza turned out awesome! If I didn’t already know, cauliflower would have been about the last thing I would have guessed it was made from. It didn’t taste like it at all. It was awesome and I am gonna make it again tomorrow!
So glad to hear it works well with less cheese. Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for posting this recipe. I am trying to follow a low carb, primal type eating plan and this was something that appealed to me. I followed your recipe with the following changes: I used a whole medium head of cauliflower, I used 2 whole eggs, and one cup of mozeralla cheese and about 1/4 cup fresh grated parm. I used 2 tsp. dried oregano, a little dried basil and some black pepper. Basically, I doubled the recipe here and made 2 – 9″ pizzas. I shredded the cauliflower in the food processor, I cooked it covered in the microwave for 3 minutes, stirred it and then cook 3 minutes longer. I then let it sit for one minute with the lid on. Then I put it in a colander and let it cool down. Before making the “crust” the used a flour sack kitchen towel and in three batches I literally wrung as much water out of the cauliflower as I could. I was thrilled with the results and will make this again and again. The pizza held together amazingly well, you could pick it up and eat it with your hands just like real pizza!!! The crust really didn’t have a lot of flavor on its own – but with the pizza toppings it was fantastic. I topped this first experiment with red pizza sauce (which I made), mozerella cheese, sliced mushrooms, olives, red pepper and pepperoni. I cannot wait to continue making this pizza and try different toppings. Make this pizza – you won’t be disappointed. Thank you so much for your insight and sharing this recipe.

I think it should be noted that you do NOT have to cook the cauliflower at all. And I find that you actually get a better texture out of it if you do not.
Interesting! I’ll have to try that next time!
I LOVE CAULIFLOWER CRUST PIZZA! Recently blogged about it myself! I do not add water before microwaving and usually have to squeeze out a TON of liquid before making the crust or else my crust never gets crunchy. But, you add water and do not squeeze out any liquid? How does your crust get crispy? IT LOOKS SO DELICIOUS I WANT IT RIGHT NOW! Thanks!
Thanks! I added a little water because the first time I made it, the cauliflower actually burned in the microwave because it was so dry! Perhaps I had an especially dry cauliflower? I definetly think that helped get the crust crispy too!

I Just made this for dinner tonight, the taste was amazing, but I have 2 questions
1. Do I measure one cup of the cauliflower then microwave it, or am i measuring one cup of the already cooked cauliflower.
I feel like I did this wrong, I cooked the cauliflower first then measured one cup. I know the cauliflower shrinks when you cook it, so I just want to be clear for the next time I make this, do I measure one cup of raw or cooked Cauliflower.
2. I used foil on a pizza pan with holes in the bottom and i sprayed it lightly with pam spray. unfortunately the edges were getting burned and the center and underneath seemed raw. and even worse it all stuck to the pan!! What could I do next time to prevent this?
Over all i loved it (despite my mistakes) the texture of the crust reminded me of polenta! thanks so much for this post, i love it!
I measure it raw, but it shouldn’t make too much of a difference. As far as the pizza sticking to the pan, I sprayed a cookie sheet lightly with cooking spray and cooked it on there, and it didn’t stick. Glad you liked it!
Christina,
Try greasing some parchment paper (which can be bought on the same aisle as the foils and wraps) with some butter or coconut oil and setting that on a cookie sheet. Then, spread out your crust “dough” on the greased parchment paper. That should take care of sticking issues and help everything cook more evenly.
I don’t think measuring cooked vs. raw makes a difference. I accidentally steamed the cauliflower first before ricing it in the food processor so I just measured it out after it came out of the processor and everything came out fine. Hope that helps!
I have made this twice and LOVE it! My kids, husband and parents all love it. The only problem I am having is that it becomes mushy after I add sauce and toppings. So we have to eat it with a fork. Is there a way to make it keep together better? Has anyone else had this problem??
Try cooking it a little longer. However, I eat it with a fork too because it just doesn’t stay together as well as regular pizza. Glad you liked it
This was great. I’ve made low carb/no grain pizza crusts from coconut flour, flax seed, and spinach/egg, and this cauliflower crust is the best one so far. The flavor didn’t compete with the toppings and it was pretty easy for me to make. I LOVE getting another serving or two of veggies in my dinner! I cooked it for 15-20 minutes and, next time, I will probably cook it a little longer to make sure it’s as firm as possible. Also, I greased a sheet of parchment paper with some grassfed butter and put that down on the cookie sheet. That made the pizza come up from the paper without any sticking issues. Thank you for the recipe!

This pizza crust is awesome!!! I’m watching my carbs (pre-diabetic) and it was absolutely the best. Even my husband loved it and he was willing, but skeptical about eating it. I didn’t put any water in it when I nuked it, but it was for 6 minutes. Thank you for the recipe and the posts were helpful too
So glad you liked it!
I have a question for you: do you think I could pre-make a few crusts and freeze them? I know you can do this with whole-wheat crust and it turns out okay, but I’m not sure with the cauliflower and the cheese and all…
I’m not sure, I’ve never tried it. I’d be afraid that they might fall apart, but if you try, let me know!
I just made this, but mine didn’t really come out as a “crust” it wasn’t firm…Any suggestions??
The cauliflower might have been too “wet”, you want it to be on the dryer side so it gets crispy. However, the middle doesn’t seem to get as crispy as the outside does. Hope that helps!
Made this for the kids yesterday, BIG instant success. I managed to salvage a small (tiny to be exact) bit so my husband can taste it when he’s back. The only thing I changed to the crust is I added 1 tablespoon of flax meal because I thought the mix was a little too wet. Turned out just great. I topped it with roasted onions, garlic, peppers and mushroom.
Glad you liked it!
