Author Notes
I have always loved pizza as much as the next person, but this recipe is truly amazing. Unlike traditional flour pizza crust which can sometimes be somewhat dull, the cauliflower crust has a rich and hearty flavor and is full of nutrients. Once you try it you'll never forget it. This recipe combines a number of other recipes to make the perfect pizza. —obarreto
