Most of us tend to have impulse cravings for pizza and this allows you to make it fast and its super healthy. A zucchini has like 30 calories for the whole thing so the bulk of your calories are on the toppings and sauce. Skim milk cheese really helps keep that down and my meal is usually around 200 cals for a plate full of pizza.
If the zucchini is small, cut them in half, If they are fairly big, cut them in 3rds of 4ths. Note that you might need to eat it with a knife and fork if you cut it more than once.
Bake it at 350 (covered with foil) for 30 minutes then 5 minutes uncovered.
Also, if you don't mind a few extra calories, use flour tortillas for the crust. They are around 80-140 cals. assemble it like a typical pizza BUT make sure you crisp it up for like 5 minutes in the oven before you start it because it will get soggy if you don't. Just bake it until the cheese is melted at whatever heat.
no...but whatever floats your boat...0 -

I think it was an adaptation of a paleo recipe like this http://eatdrinkpaleo.com.au/cauliflower-broccoli-halloumi-fritters/
I think I preferred the feta instead of the halloumi and probably adjusted the proportions and cut out the ghee but I'm more of a 'taste it and see' cook .. I certainly added the onion into it (red onion chopped fine, no pre-cooking)

I'm sorry but that's not pizza.0

It 100% isn't pizza but that doesn't necessarily mean it's not tasty! Topping things with tomato, meat/veg and cheese is always going to make something good.
I'm sure the OP already KNOWS it's not "real pizza".
And if you've come on here to just post "no" or "not pizza" then ROUND OF APPLAUSE.
Some people are on here to find low cal alternatives to high cal food (just because you're not doesn't mean those people are wrong or that you're wrong, we're all here for different reasons).
PS. pizza is my favourite thing ever and I don't accept alternatives. Just sticking up for the guys that do!0 -
I like the cauliflower pizza crust just fine but I've since started making the Zenbelly recipe for gluten free/paleo pizza crust which is phenomenal. Sometimes, though, I still just have to have the real thing and as a once in a while treat that's fine.0

I think it's kind of interesting to think about what hits the spot and what doesn't when you are wanting something higher calorie (although pizza can be surprisingly not).
For me, a pizza desire tends to be about the crust in large part, so none of the alternatives would satisfy it, and I do better making (or buying) a pizza with less cheese or other higher calorie toppings or controlling the amount of oil and yet including a real crust of some sort.
If I'm in the mood for more of the cheese and tomato and oregano toppings (and mushrooms and black olives, mmm), and don't much care about the crust, then I'm actually usually going to want to just forego the pizza form all together and put those flavors and ingredients together in another way.
Not at all saying that your approach is wrong; just maybe trying to shed light on why people are seeing this so differently. ;-)0
