PIZZA with CAULIFLOWER CRUST...what the heck ??

Flatbush — Sun, 24 Sep 2023 02:57:31 GMT

When I saw this in the frozen food section, I thought??

So, of course I HAD to try it.

Tried it and was surprised to find it was pretty darn good. Not as good as home made pizza, or pizza from a good Italian restaurant, BUT it was tasty and it is also lower in calories.Cannot taste any thing even remotely like cauliflower.

Has anyone else tried it and what did you think?

I also saw frozen cauliflower crusts that you put on your own toppings.

I haven’t tried frozen cauliflower crust pizza just freshly made ones from a local pizza place I like really like it and order it occasionally
What brand did you buy frozen that was good?

We eat them fairly often. We buy the Costco brand. In fact, we are about going to eat one for supper tonight. Fixin' to put it in the oven momentarily! They are quite good!

They're low carb. I've never found the low carb alternatives to bread products to suit my tastebuds.

I have Celiac disease, so I eat cauliflower crust pizza only. I can't eat wheat.

Costo & Sam's club brands are good....also Milton's sold at Costco.

My husband eats it because he likes it....especially the Sam's brand.

I have tried grocery store cauliflower pizza and was not impressed.

I have thought about making my own crust, but never have.

I try not not to have it often...the sodium is pretty high. It is processed food.

We've eaten pizza with cauliflower crust (homemade). If you're choosing this thinking it's low carb, I'd advise you to turn and learn because premade cauliflower pizza and crust manufacturers are sneaky and deceptive making people think premade cauliflower crusts and pizzas are low carb. Calipower Pizza is one of them. When I learned my lesson with that brand I began making my own pizza or we'll order locally and just eat the tops. I don't know the macros of the Costco crust since I've never looked at it, I will look for it the next time I go there, though - probably Tuesday.

Our friend made us some delicious pizza today and her crust ws amazing - a mix of cheese, eggs, almond flour and some seasoning. So good! 😋

We buy the Milton brand at Costco and it's good, which surprised me! I was hesitant, but glad we tried it.

Trader Joe's has the cauliflower frozen crusts in a 2 pack as well as the cauliflower already prepared pizza. I haven't tried them yet.

They're great! Thank you for mentioning. But they're more expensive so I buy them only when on sale.

My granddaughter has Celiac disease and this is gluten free. It's wonderful she has an alternative so she can be just like everyone else and enjoy pizza. The taste of the Costco ones is very good.

These cauliflower crust pizzas are not low carb. Each serving has around 25-30 grams of carbs or more depending on the toppings.

One serving is not very filling. You get eight slices per pie, four servings, and the crust is very thin.

If you buy a brand that also uses wheat flour, the carbs are higher. Kirkland Brand and from Walmart and Members Mark from Sam's has enough carbs and sodium (820mg) to make your kidneys cry and blood pressure explode.

Read the labels. These pizzas, while delicious, are not very healthy....they are processed foods.

For those that want to make their own gluten free pizza crust, Brazilian Chees Bread dough rolled out thin makes a great pizza crust.

The Milton's cauliflower crust pizza is mediocre, ok in a pinch, imo.

The Pillsbury Gluten Free Pizza Crust Thin & Crispy Mix is pretty good for a dry mix. It comes in a packet in the baking mix section in the supermarket. Fast and easy to make but not low carb.

I've purchased a few of the crusts but don't remember which brands they were. I've also made my own. I was expecting a much lower carb count per serving but was surprised it really wasn't much lower at all. I don't know about the homemade crust that I made. I wish I had a way of knowing the carbs per serving.

Yes, we like frozen cauliflower (crust) pizza. I prefer the cauliflower crust over original pizza crust.
