Storage & Reheating Instructions
When storing your cooked pizza, allow it to cool down first, then place it in an airtight container or cover it with cling wrap and refrigerate. It can be safely stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
When you’re ready to enjoy your pizza again, preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the pizza on a baking sheet and reheat for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and the crust is warmed through. This method will help retain the texture and flavors of the pizza, giving you a freshly baked pizza experience even when reheating.

Didn’t think I would ever eat mashed cauliflower, cauliflower pizza crust none of that! You guys make it sound so delicious! I might have to try this!
I loved this pizza crust and so did my daughter! I baked it a little longer before adding toppings and it turned out great!
Thanks for posting this. Will be making this for dinner. I can’t believe all of the negative comments. People hide behind their computers and feel like they can say anything. If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. My crust turned out great. I squeezed as much water from the cauliflower. I added some salt and a few extra shakes of granulated garlic to the dough. I read a prior review about flipping the crust. I flipped twice and then added toppings and baked until the cheese melted.
I made this last night. The crust came out exactly as the photo showed.I made two individual pizzas, using 2 cups of the riced cauliflower for each pizza. For the toppings, I used grilled vegies, that were left over from the previous days’ grilling, and part-skim mozzarella cheese. It was spectacular. I definitely will make it again. I really don’t think the calorie count was that high. Can’t possibly be as high as a traditional pizza.
Hi
I make my own pizsa dough for homemade pizza every week… Recently diagnosed Ihave someone who has heart disease but loves carbs and pizza. This is a perfect replacement.since it’s so flavorful but lower carb.Really enjoyed it as an alternative for the high carb alternative.. I am wondering if someone has a suggestion on how to crisp up the crust without burning it. The middle was a little soft but great flavor! Thanks for sharing
I made this for the first time. I bought pre- riced fresh cauliflower from my market. It said it was about 2.5 lbs. I microwaved it twice to get the water out. It did not form a ball as in the video. Should I have riced it again when I got it home? Maybe it wasn’t small enough. And is 2.5 lbs too much for this recipe? I read that thats what a medium head of cauliflower weighs. Maybe thats before they take the stem off. It also took a lot longer to bake.
Any suggestions for next time?
Rachel, this recipe is excellent! It was my first time trying cauliflower pizza and I loved it! I used the frozen birds eye Riced cauliflower to save time. I used my pampered chef pizza stone and followed your directions exactly! I topped it with a little pizza sauce, mix of bell peppers, a little Parmesan and mozzarella. I finished it off by sprinkling a little of Penzey’s pizza seasoning on top – delicious! I am excited that I found your page and look forward to trying more of your recipes! Thank you!!

“I recommend Stay At Home Chef recipes highly also. Chef Rachel is pleasant to interact with and patient. I’ve never been disappointed by any of her shared recipes. Bravo Rachel!”☺️
I make this all the time… I dry my colorblind out in a pan in oven stirring occasionally. Then I mix in test of ingredients. Bake it again in parchment before I add toppings…the flipping idea sounds good will try that.
Whole family loved it!
Made this tonight for my husband and I. Absolutely loved it! My husband doesn’t eat vegetables, but he loved this crust! Will definitely be making this again. Thank you!
