Guys, if you know me you know how much I love carbs and especially cheese!  I get both through one of my favourite things – PIZZA!!

Of course, I can’t carb out every single day so when I came across CAULIPOWER (cauliflower pizza crust) you can only imagine how elated I was – now I can have my pizza (totally guilt free) and still allllll the flava! Bonus, I don’t have to run extra on the treadmill. Basically, have your pizza and feel good too! Can I get a woot woot??

Once I grabbed some of the cauliflower pizza crusts from my local grocery store, I tested those babies out…. starting on Friday night. I piled the crust really high with some of our favourite toppings.  I followed the baking instructions (on a baking sheet, middle rack, for 12-14 minutes).  The result?  A perfectly crispy, flavourful crust.

Truth talk —>I didn’t know what to expect, didn’t know how the texture would be,  how it would taste or how it would bake.  My opinion?  You could  serve this cauliflower pizza crust to anyone and I’m confident they’d love it. Despite putting tons of toppings on there, it baked up crispy and delicious. Would I get it again? You bet!

What Makes CAULIPOWER Pizza Crust So Great?

  • It’s the #1 cauliflower pizza crust in the US and now available in Canada (and made in Canada, which I love)!  Guess what the first ingredient is?  You better believe it – cauliflower!
  • Compared to traditional pizza crust, this low carb pizza crust is chocked full of vitamins, lower in calories and naturally gluten free.
  • You can purchase CAULIPOWER at a variety of major retailers across Canada, like Loblaw’s (Dominion here in Newfoundland), Walmart, Costco, Whole Foods, select Sobeys and many more independent retailers. Find the deliciousness near you via their store locator here.
  • It comes in delicious varieties like Three Cheese, Margherita, Veggie Pizza or Plain Crust (which is what I used today for this Mediterranean pizza).
  • This cauliflower pizza crust is thin crust (my fave), takes minutes to bake, it’s a healthier alternative to traditional pizza crust, it’s crispy and, most importantly, it tastes DELICIOUS!

Since this cauliflower pizza crust is a healthier alternative to traditional pizza, it’s something you could enjoy any day of the week with family or friends. Pizza is not just for ‘pizza night’ anymore! And who doesn’t love that?? Helloooooo pizza partaaaaaay—->

Mediterranean Pizza

After trying a bunch of topping combos (is there any way to go wrong with pizza, though? Really? I think not), I opted to share a Mediterranean Pizza recipe using the CAULIPOWER cauliflower pizza crust.   The pizza was topped with some of my favourite ingredients, including –

  • Mozzarella
  • Feta
  • Roasted red pepper
  • Black olives
  • Sun-dried tomatoes
  • Marinated artichoke
  • Red onion
  • Chili flakes

To assemble, all ya have to do is top the cauliflower pizza crust with some pesto, both cheeses and remainder of ingredients (except chili flakes).  Bake until until crispy and cheese is melty. Once out of the oven sprinkle over chili flakes and dig in!

Tips for Making this Easy Pizza Recipe

  • Keep the pizza crust frozen until ready to use.
  • Don’t have fresh mozzarella? No worries! Use a quality shredded mozzarella (aka pizza mozzarella)
  • I used sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil (not the dry packed ones) and drained .  That’s what I enjoy and recommend.
  • Ensure that your ‘wet’ ingredients like red pepper, olives, sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke are patted dry before adding to the pizza.  You want a nice-n-crispy crust!
  • Use as much chili flakes as you like! Like it spicy? Add more. Not into spice? Omit or add less. You do you! Make it your pizza.
  • The quantities of toppings used for this pizza is basically a guide.  If you don’t have all of the ingredients on hand or like less (or more) of something, adjust to your tastes.
  • Can’t find the cauliflower pizza crust in your area just yet?  Use your favourite pizza crust.

If you want to let your imagination go wild, why not create your own pizza using CAULIPOWER cauliflower pizza crust. This baby comes conveniently packaged in a two pack. It’s basically a delicious blank canvas to create any combo you want!

Buffalo Chicken Pizza – Another Delicious Option!

You may have noticed another pizza in the pic above!  Well, I also made a buffalo chicken pizza! For this one I used –

  • Ricotta
  • Mozzarella
  • Blue cheese
  • Cooked Chicken

I spread some ricotta on the cauliflower crust and then topped with the remaining ingredients.  It took, like, 2 minutes. Then, I baked the pizza per directions and, once outta the oven, I sprinkled with some green onion and drizzled some of my fave hot sauce on top.  So delish! You may just want to give this one a go too. P.S. do you love blue cheese as much as I do? That funk is great!

If you aren’t in the mood to whip up your own pie, no worries!  As mentioned up top, CAULIPOWER comes in some flavours too.  I tried the Margherita variety and just garnished with a little basil.  Easy peasy and bakes up in about 12-14 minutes.

Have a bunch of crusts on hand and make some breakfast themed pizzas.  Pssst—> eggs are AWESOME on pizza!  CAULIPOWER is delicious pizza that loves you back. Totally worth trying out.

    Dawn! This crust looks amazing- what a good find!! I’m totally gonna look for this- I love pizza but dang, so much bread AND cheese. If I could get rid of the bread I’d eat it more often. That crust looks so crisp on bottom too- I’m gonna try it!!

    I’m crazy about those caulipower crusts! I even like their frozen pizzas when I’m feeling extra lazy. But this pizza has all my fave things on it (I’m looking at you, artichoke hearts and feta) so I have to try it. SO GOOD! Have a great weekend, Dawn!

    We’ve tried a few cauliflower crusts, and I’m definitely keeping an eye out for this one. With a GF son & husband, we LOVE cauliflower pizza crusts around here. Your toppings are scrumptious and the chili flakes seal the deal. You get a woot woot from me. 🙂

    While I’m aware of the trend of vegetable-based pizza crusts, I’ve got to admit I’ve never tried one! And this crust looks fantastic indeed – I would have never thought it’s low carb and calories. And these toppings are one of my favourite. Sun-dried tomatoes, pesto, peppers, and mozzarella? I’m in!

    Wow, that looks like one heck of an awesome pizza, Dawn! We were in Canada this past weekend for a curling tournament, and we stopped by the grocery store on the way into town. I was amazed at how similar everything was, yet so different at the same time. Different brands, some of ’em in French, but familiar products. I was like a kid in a candy store! Glad to hear that this cauliflower crust is available in the States…I’ll have to keep an eye out for it. This pizza looks amazing with all of those delicious toppings, too!
