What I Love About This Keto Cauliflower Pizza Crust Recipe
I love how pizza is such a customizable food item. It’s hard to resist all your favorite toppings covered in warm, gooey melted cheese on top of a great tasting keto pizza crust!
Here are some of my favorite things about cauliflower pizza:
- Super low carb
- Divinely delicious
- Versatile
- Warm cheesy goodness
- Really easy to assemble
Cauliflower Pizza Recipe Notes
Making this dairy free keto cauliflower pizza crust is incredibly simple! It does require a little patience and a trick of the trade for best results:
Get as much liquid out as possible! When your cauliflower rice is done cooking, place it in a cheese cloth or clean kitchen towel. Let it cool for a few minutes, then ball it up in the cloth and twisting at the top. You’ll need to repeat this process a couple of times to remove all the liquid from the cauliflower.
Forming the crust. Another trick of the trade involves evening out your keto cauliflower pizza crust. When you spread it into the ideal disc shape, cover it with wax paper and gently press the bottom of a pot over it. Viola! Beautiful pizza crust that’ll cook evenly.
Ingredient Notes
The cauliflower pizza ingredients for this recipe are fairly simple, but you’ll follow a different set of instructions based on the type of cauliflower you buy…
Cauliflower – You can use fresh cauliflower or frozen cauliflower rice to make this recipe — I prefer frozen cauliflower rice!!! It takes a lot of the work out (removing the liquid — this keto vegetables loaded with it!) of making the crust for this keto cauliflower pizza crust recipe.
Egg + Parm – The egg and keto cheese will bind our cauliflower crust together.
Seasoning – To keep this crust as pizza-like as possible, I like to add in Italian seasoning — but feel free to add whatever you prefer here.
Tools To Make
Making this keto cauliflower pizza crust is as simple as mixing and baking. All you really need is a:
- Large pot to steam the cauliflower. This can also be done in the microwave.
- Bowl to combine all our ingredients.
- Rimmed baking sheet to bake the keto cauliflower pizza crust and catch any liquid that sneaks out while baking.
Storing Tips
Simply store the leftovers in Ziploc bags or an airtight container. According to the USDA, your Cauliflower Pizza will keep in the fridge just fine if it’s well protected from heat and moisture
Can You Freeze This Crust?
Yes!! Just wrap it well (I like to vacuum seal it) and pop it in the freezer for easy to reheat low carb frozen pizza at your fingertips. Pull it out of the oven and make that sweet delicacy your own.
Recipes Variations
The best thing about this pizza crust (besides the way it tastes) is that it’s so easy to personalize. Here are some easy variations that can enhance the flavor of your keto cauliflower pizza without wrecking the recipe:
- Make cauliflower pizza bites. Making cauliflower pizza bites is a bit like making meatballs (but not quite as messy). Simply use the same recipe and form into smaller bite-sized portions. Top and bake as you would a large pizza, but you may need to cut the cooking time a bit. If you’re looking for even easier bite-sized pizzas, check out this eggplant pizza.
- Turn this into a casserole. Turn this into a keto pizza casserole by lining the bottom of a casserole dish with the crust, then top and bake!
- Switch up the pizza sauce. You can use whatever works with your pizza vision here! Some of my faves are pesto or keto bbq sauce.
- Make this crust dairy-free. Simply use 3 eggs and skip the Parmesan.

For the Cauliflower pizza crust you have 5 carbs, but I don’t see a portion size???
Hello Diane! 🙂 Nutritional information is based on 1 slice, if you cut this pizza into 8 slices. Hope it helps, Thank you <3
It’s a 6 inch crust and gets sliced into eight pieces at 5 carbs each slice? That sounds like tiny tiny pieces and a lot of carbs doesn’t it?
Hi Pam! There are 3g net carbs per slice, which is definitely higher than some of my other low carb pizzas — check out all of these for some lower carb options (fathead is suuuper low carb and amazing!). Hope you enjoy!
