    @ ge105 - I like the portobello mushroom idea. I'll give that a try!

    Everything else you can change quite easily I feel except the crust. Toppings are always personalized but it's the crust that has me thinking.

    I saw one on here recently that was pretty much cauliflower with Parmesan as the crust. Seems like it did the job!

    I like my pizza super thin, so I usually go for a low carb tortilla, toss on some sauce and topping and pop it in the oven till its nice and crispy...its low carb, i feel like I'm eating an ultra thin crust pizza

    cauliflower for crust. it works great. lots of sauce and vegies on top and some velveeta shreds cheese. you don't need much of the cheese and it melts great.

    I make pizza with " Flat Out Bread" it is an oblong flat bread that is about 90 calories and 74% fewer carbs than 2 slices of wheat bread. The carbs are 16 grams, personally we prefer these to any other low cab lower calorie bread out there. You get 6 wraps in a package, one flat bread makes a great meal, I pre bake it on the oven rack then top as desired and re bake. It takes care of my pizza cravings.

    Flat Out flatbread, light original, hope this is an option for you to try.

    i used the flat out pizza crust on friday night to satisfy my pizza craving.. super good! topped with tomato basil marinara, mozzarella cheese, prosciutto, tomato and basil - all for under 300 calories.

    I got this recipe from Skinnytaste.com- it is quite yummy!!!!

    Lavash Flatbread Pizza:

    9 x 12 inch lavash flatbread ( I find it in Walmart near deli)
    olive oil spray
    3 TBSP marinara sauce
    2 oz reduced fat shredded mozzarella
    pinch dried oregano
    2 TBSP fresh basil

    Directions:
    Preheat oven to 45o degrees. If you have a pizza stone, heat it as well.
    Spread lavash bread with oil then top with sauce. Too much sauce will make the bread soggy so don't over- do it.
    Top with cheese and oregano, then bake until the cheese melts- about 5 minutes
    Remove from oven and cut into 4 pieces. Top with fresh basil and eat immediately.

    Servings:2
    Serving Size: 2 squares
    Calories: 191.8
    Fat: 4.7g
    Protein: 12.2g
    Carb: 23.9g
    Fiber: 1.4g
    Sugar: 1.4g

    The zucchini boats above are wonderful and do scratch the pizza itch nicely. I made a variation on this a while back. Thinly sliced Zucchini tomatoes and eggplant layered into a casserole with basil and oregano topped with mozzarella cheese and baked at 400 for about 45 minutes.

    Next time I make this I might add in some mushrooms and olives because I love those on a pizza.

    Oh Yum! That makes me think of Eggplant Parmesan...those toppings do sound tasty for a pizza.

    I made this one once. It did the job and wasn't too cauliflowery--It doesn't hold shape, though. Usually needs to be eaten with a fork because it crumbles when you pick it up.

    The cauliflower crust is a bit of work, but it's a delicious comfort food.

    I tried a cauliflower crust before after watching some how-to videos. It tasted great, but I had to eat it with a fork so I probably failed miserably at making it.

    Did you squeeze the water out of the cauliflower? On the other hand, if it tasted great, who cares how you ate it?
