Margherita Pizza with Cauliflower Crust

This Margherita Pizza with Cauliflower Crust tastes just like pizza without all of the calories or carbs! It’s a great Gluten Free option as well! This is seriously, hands down, the best pizza I’ve ever had that’s Gluten free!

I’ll admit I was a skeptic, using cauliflower for a pizza crust? Honestly you really can’t even tell the difference between this and a regular pizza crust. You will however see a difference in the calorie and carb intake! This Margherita Pizza with Cauliflower Crust has around 200 calories and only 10 carbs per serving!

Note: I am currently working on a post that will show step by step on ‘

Now once you have the cauliflower pizza crust baked. Go ahead and add your favorite pizza sauce or my super yummy 

Then just add the sliced Roma Tomatoes and the fresh Basil on top. I just love the smell of fresh Basil, don’t you?

Next top with your favorite Mozzarella cheese and bake 10 to 15 minutes longer until the cheese is nice and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

Make sure you let it sit for about 5 minutes before cutting into it.

Then sit back and enjoy every low carb slice of goodness! Since it’s so low in carbs, you could even indulge in a glass of wine, or two, or three…
