As soon as I had made the cauliflower bread, I knew that the cauliflower pizza crust wasn’t far away! And rightly so, here comes the low calorie, healthy, and delicious cauliflower pizza base with plenty of vegetarian toppings!
The cauliflower pizza “dough” is more or less the same as cauliflower bread base, except that I add a few extra dried herbs to the dough. If you don’t add any seasoning to the pizza mix, the cauliflower pizza base will taste like baked cauliflower. Not my favorite taste. Apart from salt and pepper, I added dried oregano and dried basil. You can also add some crushed fresh olives to the base!
Now I have to confess, cauliflower pizza base is not as crusty as a regular pizza base. It is soft but I like its softness. I have seen many recipes claiming for crispiness, but frankly speaking, it does get crisp enough to hold but not as crispy as a regular white flour pizza base.
Crispy Cauliflower Pizza Crust (keto)
To make it crisp, I spread the mix, fairly thin — just about half a cm. Otherwise, the pizza base will become soggy. Here are a few process shots to show the step-by-step recipe for making cauliflower pizza base.
For the pizza toppings, I used basil pesto for the base and then added red peppers, red onions, cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, and mozzarella. But I love the fact that the pizza base provides a wonderful opportunity to experiment with the toppings. What toppings do you fancy? Would you like a classic margherita pizza on a cauliflower base?

Healthiest Cauliflower Pizza Crust Recipe
I have read all about the cauliflower crust pizza many times over the years, it’s believed to have been created in 2009 as a “carb free” pizza alternative for those following the South Beach Diet Plan and the Atkins Diet. Whereas I am not following a low-carb (or no-carb) diet, I am following the 5:2 diet, as well as fitting in Weight Watchers on my “non-fast” days, and it’s a fact that bread and pizza crusts stack up the calories in a frightening way! I checked the calories on a standard burger bun the other day, and it came in a staggering 250 calories for ONE bun! Now, I am sure I can make my own burger buns at home that would be tastier, healthier and much lower in calories, but it’s hot and I am not in a bread making mood just now. So, this cauliflower pizza crust idea seemed like an interesting and low-calorie recipe to try out.
I scoured the internet looking for recipes and inspiration and ended up with four possible candidates: Recipe Box: Doughless Pizza by Lauren Conrad, Cauliflower Crust Pizza with Ground Beef and Green Olives by The Healthy Foodie, Go Grain-Free With a Low-Carb Cauliflower Pizza Crust by Fit Sugar and Cauliflower Pizza Crust by The Vintage Mixer. In the end I made up my own pizza crust and topping, mainly based on Lauren Conrad’s recipe, The Vintage Mixer and the recipe shared on Fit Sugar, which is by Paula Deen. The recipes were all in US cups, so I boldly converted them to Metric for those of us who can’t do cups! I tested this recipe twice, and I have to say that I am VERY pleased with it – it gives a chewy crust with lots of flavour and is very filling too.
DON’T expect bread like crust, it really is just a suitable vehicle for carrying a topping; but do expect a delicious and very “pizza like” taste with a rather nice texture, it’s all about cheating with the bread base whilst still keeping the essential pizza flavours. And as well as being carbohydrate free, it is also low in calories; the recipe below makes one big pizza for two people and is a fabulous 240 calories per person, that’s for half a pizza! You could also make two smaller individual pizzas if you want, and I may do that next time. All that you need to serve this are some crisp salad leaves and a little low-fat dressing. We BOTH enjoyed this recipe, and I have also discovered that you can make and bake the base ahead of time – just add the topping and bake to order when you are ready!
